Who caused the situation?

Can you tell me which Government Party created the situation we have now with SXM'ers being outnumbered? I'll make it a multiple choice to make it easier, the DP, the DP or the DP? Or do you think Lou Lou did it all on his own? Sarah and her DP government are largely responsible for SXM people now being a minority and yet you still support their policies?
All of it under the disguise of creating jobs and progress of course, instead of building and developing sustainably for the needs of the people of the island and educating our children to fill those jobs, they built and built and found they created too many jobs. And Lou Lou has been happily signing permits here and there, year after year.
So what you are saying is that children, through no fault of their own for being here, should be denied an education because OUR immigration system is screwed up? How long have they been working, or at least claiming they are working, at fixing it? I guess you prefer the illegal children stay on the streets and grow up with no future, probably turning to crime? I'm not attacking your critical opinion, I'm disagreeing with it, I assume you are able to discuss the matter intelligently without feeling persecuted?
Giving an education to the children is not the same as giving them residence permits, it is a moral and humanist position, agreed to by Holland and the Netherlands Antilles in the United Nations. Introducing CE would put more pressure on Government, Island and Federal, to get their act together and fix the Immigration system, instead of just talking about it and coming up plans that repeatedly fail or can be subverted by politicians and public officials.
Your position punishes children for the failures of OUR politicians. Nice.
