Philipsburg:--- Registration of Haitian nationals who fall under category three of the Brooks Tower Accord can register themselves to avoid deportation as of Monday March 15. Brooks
The registration will take place from Monday through Friday from 8 am non-stop till 4 in the afternoon at the Conference Center of the Salvation Army on the Union Road #59 in Cole Bay.
  1. The registration is only for the following groups of illegal Haitians who live in St. Maarten by before March 1, 2010. This relates to Haitian nationals who entered the Antilles between January 1st, 2006 and January 12th, 2010. January 12, 2010 is the day the devastating earthquake took place in Haiti.
  2. Those who applied via "Steering group" and who entered the Netherlands Antilles between January 1st, 2006 and January 12th, 2010. This is because they are not eligible to receive a permit via the "BTA" as they are not special cases.
  3. Those who entered before January 1st 2006, but who did not register for category 1 or 2 of the "BTA". By not registering, they automatically become illegal equal to category 3 "BTA".

By registering the illegal groups 1 and 2, the right is obtained to continue living in St. Maarten until the 31st of December 2010. Those of category 3 will get the right to stay until August 31, 2010. The registration does not give the illegal residents other rights.

All Haitians mentioned above will receive a copy of the registration form to have in their possession at all times. No photograph is on this form, only the signature of the illegal person who registered.
The illegal immigrant must show this form to the authorities during controls. This form indicates up to which day their stay is allowed on St. Maarten. Before said date, they can always leave St. Maarten of their own will. After said date, they will be deported.

Haitians who register for category 1 and 2 of the Brooks Tower do not need to register again.

The registration will not take more than 5 minutes, as long as the illegal immigrant brings his / her passport and a copy of the travel document.

It also applies here that if the illegal immigrant supplies information that is not based on the truth or makes use of a false passport, he / she commits a crime and will be deported immediately.

@ shamefull.
While I agree fully with your comment, I do find that they are doing the right thing. Right now all those people plus more are already residing here and there is no control or record of them. At least this way you know (most of) who you have living here. Remember, anyone who does not have any form of documentation WILL be deported once the controls start. Then you have those who are given time to leave. After the dates given they too will be deported.

At least now there will be control of who comes in since they have to file for a work/residence permit while living abroad. Anyone found on the Island, without the proper documentations will be deported and no one can kick up about it since the Law has dealt fairly with them.

This new section is only for Haitian nationals due to the earthquake. It is only fair to give them time for Haiti to start getting it's act together. After the time given they also have to leave. I do feel the Minister handled this in a fair and professional manner. Now it is up to our "local" Law enforcers to follow up in the right way.

@ SORRY.

You are right but I hope you won't be one complaining if they do carry out their duties properly and send out dog and puss alike.

THAT is what created the problem here. All "local dogs" wanted "illegal dogs" gone but when they touched their "precious illegal p***y cats" they started to bark real loud. Then puss puss fooled them (the local dogs) and bring in their uncles and cousins dogs and all hell broke loose when so many "woof-miaws" were born here.

But seriously. This time around I hope our own people will not be the ones shouting the loudest of police and government "inhumanity" when they start picking up man, woman and children if they are residing here illegally.
