St. Maarten Private Eye

All people should have a right to education. I think that it is strange that a child that is born here is considered a person from where his parents came from. On the birth certificate it should state where the child was actually born not where his parents were born. I have no clue why Sint Maarten does that. I have friends that were born in Jamaica and are here legally and have had children here and their birth certicates state they were born in Jamaica. Strange. I find it amazing how many Sint Maartener's go to the States and have their children and I believe the Birth Certificate states the State they were born in (ie New York), so automatically they have dual citizenship..Life is great for those that work the system. Perhaps the system should be changed as it could possibly lead to schizophrania. Such as: I am Antillean, of Dutch Nationality, but yet I am also an American, but yet I am not African American. Wow that could confuse the hell out of anyone. Perhaps that is one reason why some of our youth are confused.
