Recently leaked cables of the US Embassy in Georgetown have suggested that at one point in time, Guyana had a higher deportation rate, compared to the US.Shocking? Well,CHeap NFL Jerseys China, the US Embassy did not think so back in June 2007.And it had the figures to prove it… well… sort of.According to a cable released by whistleblower website, Wikileaks, in 2007, the then US Ambassador, David Robinson wrote that although not statistically significant, a quick examination of the numbers shows that the proportion of American citizens expelled by Guyana is significantly higher than the proportion of Guyanese deported by the United States.The cable was sent to the Department of Justice.Between June 2006 and May 2007, the US deported 223 Guyanese citizens back to Guyana, or 0.10% of the 210,000 Guyanese-born persons living in the U.S.Of these 223 deportations, 31% were for immigration violations, 26% had been convicted of drug crimes,Wholesale Adidas Hockey Jerseys, 19% had been convicted for felony robbery/burglary/larceny/weapons/assault, and 11% had been convicted of sexual assault/rape.In the same time period, Guyana expelled three U.S. citizens, or 0.15% of the approximately 2000 American citizens living here.? One was expelled after serving a sentence for cocaine possession,http://www.soccerpro.us.com/England/, the other two were expelled for immigration violations.There you have it!“The other major difference is that the GoG (Government of Guyana) did not purchase plane tickets for the American citizens.? Rather,Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys, the GoG incarcerated the three AmCits (American citizens) until they (normally with Embassy assistance) were able to purchase their own plane tickets,” said the cable which carried the name of Ambassador Robinson at the bottom.The cable noted that the issue of deportation was raised by President Bharrat Jagdeo and other heads of government at the Conference on the Caribbean.“Caribbean interest in deportation is normally presented as a concern over the impact on small nations of the large number of deportees they must absorb.? However, Guyanese and Caricom officials occasionally insinuate that the U.S. unfairly targets the Guyanese or Caribbean population for deportation.”WikiLeaks, which released the secret cables, is an international non-profit organisation that publishes submissions of private, secret,Cheap NFL Jerseys, and classified media from anonymous news sources, news leaks, and whistleblowers.
