Coming Home to Jamaica: Services for Jamaican Deportees 

Being deported from the US was a blessing for me .took me a little while to appreciate Jamaica and all the opportunities that are here.my family took me to america when i was 11 years old i got deported when i was 27 because of the wrong crowd , came here and saw foreigners having their nest lives and decided i was going to do that too right now life could not be better,i have more than most jamaicans overseas have and mone of the stress.when my family saw how well i was living they all want to come home. America is already built out,jamaica is just starting..The opportunities are bountiful. It was a blessing getting deported. Thanks USA.

If what the people are saying in the comment section is true they need to take down this video.

Well done. Feel so proud of those people who restarted their lives.

Wow!am so proud of these people .Seems like the y r doing better than they were over seas.life doesn't end if u have life in u.God bless u all

Jamaica is a small island with 3.5 million people and the Government really do try to help people but they just can't help everyone.

I am glad that these deportees are treated with dignity.

We don't have services like that for regular people who never left, never tried to leave and have always lived on the island to get their lives on track. What about them?

Where was this service for the newly arrived deportees last week?.....I didn't see any welcome except the voluntary help offered by one lady outside Norman Manley airport..Action speak louder than lofty words.

This video sponsored by the British High Commission - "Maximum pressure!"

This just looks like a smooth pr piece

One of my saddest encounters with a Jamaican was a worker in my country. After 5 yrs on a work permit he had to leave. He was on his knees crying and begging for renewal. His boss tried but he was denied because there was a citizen who could now do the job. He talked about how hard life was in his country and he needed a few more years of work. We collected 30,000 US dollars and gave it to him as a gift but oh how he cried. Don't understand why its do hard to make ot in your homeland. We have tough times at home bit we manage. Very few of us leave to live in another country. Even oir college kids for the most part come home. Usually marriage in their adopted country make them stay. So yes its hard for me to wrap my head aroind illegal immigration.

That's what I thought, most of the video, paint a encouraging picture that you'll be well taken care of as a deportee, but the reality is far different, and if you return to Jamaica expecting nothing, that's the way you'll survive and move forward in case you may get help from the authorities, but it's mostly help yourself or get help from relatives.

Very articulate and inspiring to depotees, whether educated like him or not, opportunities are available to start over

Too good to be true.

First time seeing this video from mi do it 7years ago

i well do back home right now. if i did have my own home in Jamaica

If you do the crime deport,what i don't understand you innna America 40 50 30 yrs man and you not a citizen that's madness.

How can you repartition to your own country of birth, some of those Jamaican left the country with the intention not to returned. I been traveling more than 35years now living in more than one country, I liked in England for a while. I married in more than 30years but I didn't like there, because it is too slow for me. My ex wife is living in England from 1963 with her parents and then, her wife left to the United States just like my father. I am living in the United States for 26years now as a citizen, because according to their laws it does not take much to get you into trouble at all. I really blamed some Jamaican because they are living in some of those countries too long and,refused to be a citizen of that country. I have seeing a lot of them and encouraged a couple of them, but they refused to listened to nobody at all. In the last 30years things in the foreign countries is changed dramatically, against foreigners . Because most of those countries economy is getting weaker and weaker each year,so they are trying to get rid of the illegal aliens and the problematic people them. So you are got to be very careful not to fall into certain situations, because the government them is not joking. They are trying to find means and ways to get rid of you out of their country, it is a very serious situation in the United States now.

This is very good to know.

To think Jamaicans did not need papers to visit UK, thanks to people like Roy fowl completely mash up it up for future citizens. I don't feel sorry for none of them, where was all this hard work and entrepreneurial spirit while in the UK. Bear Alms house behavior....aye sah.

Its of great importance that anybody who have been deported from any countries do formulate a plan of survival in coming back to their homeland.you just have to be intrested in doing the right thing in your return whatever monetary help try to make it work for you so as to get back on your feet asap,be ambitious you all and make a difference to survive let it be known youare not a menace to society. be bless you all.

thats a very good program

It's TRUE this system is arranged between the Brits n Ja but they don't tell anyone. Ja keep every bite of this money.

I need help. Help me to come home and find a job in the heavy equipment industry

Hardly any help at hand

People say this is a lie they get no help

When I was deported to Jamaica In 2011, all the benefits this video said they offer the deportee is a lie. I told them I was homeless and they told me, there nothing they can do. It was a lady who told me how to get my TRN and driver licence. All lies. More then half of this country is return resident. A third of the deportee goes crazy, 15% become criminals, 23% leave the Island, The rest fine their way. Like I said this video is a lie.

Why are you getting deported? I

Why should Jamaicans foot the bill for criminals ?

what's the name of that host?

This is good

Welcoming and accomodating 🤔🙄😏

Wow.. great see out of nothing becomes something..

This video sounds like a political ad campaign

BOLLOCKS, I have been around these people and this aint it.

Nice way to cushion an embarrassing situation..lol

Pick them up jamaicans if i can help i want to help them

Whitebwoy guh weh

PROPAGANDA.. DON'T BELIEVE A WORD!! ❤️

Me no know of no deportee wid this kind a treatment. A wa dem a hide da place ya. De government an dem people ya wicked bad. Any deportee who get da treatment ya fe come forward now. Maybe back ina de days dem use to do dem tings ya but dem na do this no more ina 2020.

Politics. All bull

Repatriated… committed crimes bad enough to warrant deportation….

Hair nails glue and chicken back Jamaica Jamaica

Real bullshit

As I was watching this video, I was in shock that my former country was doing such an outstanding charity deed to deportees. The Jamaica I knew used to abuse and mistreat their own people, no matter how young or how old. They would not care if you were having a final meal of scraps, they would take it from you. Is this video telling truth? I'm having a very difficult time believing any of this. Why? As many are aware that many out there in Jamaica who has lived their entire lives, are left to become beggars, due to old age, disabled or poverty. I hope am wrong about my feelings on this, but I strongly suspect that this video is a fake. Sorry Jamaica.

'The most' this, 'the most' that. So superlative, always culturally arrogant, and so untrue. It takes away from the plight of the people in this story, especially during these hard days of no movement and covid.

Terrible

This unfair for the British Governments to do that has been in England since they are children. I heared white Europeans committee crimes they don.T send them home. But when are black and Jamaica this what happened
