I am sure, of course, the same happens elsewhere, but in our little islands, the impact is always so much closer to our daily lives. Like Catch a Fire says, make sure the protests are directed at the right people though. I can't imagine being in a situation like the Uigurs having been imprisoned at home, at Guantanamo and now with the one place you're being given to go, not exactly laying out the welcome mat. And what is up with our immigration regulations anyway? It seems so difficult for so many good people, CARICOM as well as extra-regionals, to settle in so many islands, and others who I guess maybe can just pay, get the ok in the blink of an eye...
