A challenge

Posted on May 04 2009
We would like to challenge Bonnie Sagana, Rabby Syed and Ronnie Docca on their request for amnesty for illegal overstayers in the CNMI. First, they are asking Washington Delegate Gregorio “Kilili” Sablan to help freeze the deportation of illegal overstayers until they get all their back wages and all the items in their Labor awards are fulfilled, including granting of employment transfers.
Our challenge is, if our government comes up with approximately almost $6 million in unpaid labor awards, will they agree to return to their homeland, since this is what they are bargaining and complaining about, completely ignoring the fact that the federal government had already addressed this matter back in March 2009?
As for job transfers, we believe that the Department of Labor has been authorizing transfers since the amendments of Public Law 15-108 were made. We believe their complaints of job transfers are without merits since they now claim amnesty for overstayers in the CNMI. How is it possible to ask for transfer when one has overstayed?
This is why we continue to say that this foreign organizations are misleading and giving false hopes to innocent nonresident guest workers in the CNMI, including IRs. No one wants to admit that, because of such misleading information and promises, majority of innocent guest workers are now affected. Taotao Tano firmly believes that if anyone has lived here 10, 15, 20 years, then there really shouldn’t be any problems going through the federal immigration administrative process.
