1,268 Jamaicans deported the from US
NEW YORK, United States — A total of 1,268 Jamaicans were deported by United States authorities last year, continuing a downward trend since 2008 when the number totalled 1,603 followed by 1,480 in 2009.
Clifford Chambers, the security attaché at the Jamaican Embassy in
Washington, said in an interview that more than 300 other Jamaicans have
exhausted deportation proceedings and have been given final removal
orders, while orders are pending against another 488.
According to Jamaica's Consul General to New York Geneive Brown-Metzger,
the number of Jamaicans in custody here is posing "a serious challenge
for the Jamaican consulate".
She said her office has been "forced to quadruple the number of visits
to detention and other centres where these nationals are held".
Brown-Metzger, who was speaking against the background of concerns among
the Diaspora about the work being done by the consulate, said her
office — like other sections of the Jamaican Government — "has been
forced to operate with a reduced budget and staff".
Meanwhile, Chambers pointed out that many of those deported "have not
committed what would be considered a serious crime", rather the majority
were guilty of "overstaying their entry permits".
He said some people have been deported for drug-related offences and, in a few cases, murder.
United States authorities, meanwhile, estimate that there are about
5,000 undocumented Jamaicans in the country. But Chambers said that the
figure is difficult to confirm.
He said that persons who have entered the US legally, but for whom there
are no records of departure would fall in that category.
That, he pointed out, does not mean they are still here as there are
instances where the official document, known as an I-94, which would
confirm departure from the country may not have been processed.
Chambers said that Jamaican authorities here continue to work closely
with their US counterparts on immigration and deportation matters.
