They can’t come home

Dear Editor,

  My name is Ingrid and I am writing to the editor about what is going on that is wrong.

  There are St. Maarten citizens and residents that are in the USA who have been locked out and need to come home. The government page is stating to contact an email which we did but to no use.

  There are children up here, their school has been closed, even the place they were living some had to leave because lease expired or they can’t afford it. They are hardly making it, plus it has this epidemic and now protesting, and hurricane is upon us. They need to be in their homes safe, not stuck up here.

  Only God knows how some of them are making it. They are suffering.

  Come on now, the same way Delta came in and picked up the Americans that were there, the Prime Minister could have dealt with Delta to bring her residents home at the same time before they stay here and get sick.

  All other countries and islands are bringing their citizens home, only SXM keep blocking their people from coming home and be safe.

  When the PM is saying she loves SXM remember SXM is the people and the people are SXM – not the island, the people – and what you do today comes back to bite you tomorrow.

  Stop leaving the people out in the rain and not allowing them to come to their shelter, which is their home, like the government did with [Hurricane – Ed.] Irma, saying you cannot come to the shelter until the hurricane passes. By that time bad things will already happen.

  Learn to love our people, our youth, not just by words for people to say, “Good speech,” but by actions and feelings.

  Thank you.

 

Ingrid Grell
