GRAND TURK, Turks and Caicos, CMC – Over 160 Haitians will be repatriated after their boat was intercepted off the coast of the British Overseas territory on Monday. Turks and Caicos Minister for Border Control and Labor, R.D. Gardiner, said “The Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands will not tolerate this illegal activity.” “While we cannot stop boats from leaving other countries to come here, we can and will remain vigilant to that activity; and through our border control systems, we will monitor our shores to maintain the integrity of our boarders and our immigration laws and protect our national security,” he said in a statement.
