MPs show wide support for sweeping immigration reforms
Sweeping changes to immigration laws aimed at protecting Caymanian workers and making it harder for foreigners to acquire residency and status were widely supported by MPs during debate in Parliament on Thursday 11 Nov.
The reforms, which include a new 20-year residency requirement before most foreign nationals can apply for Caymanian status, were debated after Immigration Minister Michael Myles tabled the bill on Wednesday afternoon. Parliament was adjourned at 9pm Thursday night before several MPs, including Premier André Ebanks, had contributed to the debate, which will continue on Friday.
