St. Maarten Private Eye

Please read the post. There's no mention of attending College and then waiting tables. I was referring the visitors who come to the island and start working without contributing to the island, and some of them complain more than us who have seen the changes over the years. I have no problem what so ever with Americans, let's get this straight. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have attended a US University many years ago.
And no, you can't work in the US by just applying for a SSC. Matter of fact, you're issued a student social security number, which doesn't give you the right to seek employment.
Again i'm encouraging those companies on the island to hire local. As a citizens of this country I will always encourage this excersize. And those coming, please investigate if the labour market can supply the work force.
If you can't find a particular person for a particular position, I'm sure there are ways and means to apply for this person to come and work. The apprentice program, such as it is practiced in the British islands should also be implemented.

The Lt Govenor's new policy is a bit harsh, but we need some harshness in our attitude these days. Too many people are going around the basic requirements for resident permits.
