Newest scandal brewing at
Immigration! The last Immigration scandal to shock
Belizeans left that
department with 200 new digitised passports unaccounted for. The
newest scandal conerns unauthorised travel documents issued to people,
mainly Chinese nationals, who want to come to Belize to study at the
University of Belize. It doesn’t make any difference that most of these
immigrants are not students and are not enrolled in any school.It
doesn’t matter that some of these immigrants were caught recently
trying to smuggle their way through Mexico. If they have U.S. $10,000
to spend, they can and do get passports
without having to fulfill the five-year residency requirement. More

Belize and Guatemala,
but, sadly, every time we hear about El Pilar, the news is about some
kind of illegal activity in the border area, usually violent armed
assaults of nearby residents or tourists by cross border bandits. But
all that is about to change because Pilar is coming under a tri-partite
management regime.Today the National Institute of Culture and history
(NICH), the University of California State at Santa Barbara and an NGO,
Amigos De El Pilar signed on to a management agreement. This document
is the blue print on how the archaeological site will be transformed
from a destinations footnote to a premier eco-cultural destination,
complete with security for the visiting public and those managing the
site. More
