They Already Took the Visa The Truth About Jamaica Deportee Deal

Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the panic over the US deportee deal is "almost ridiculous." People keep saying Jamaica had no choice that if we don't agree, we lose our US Visas. Today, we bring the receipts that prove that argument is already dead. In Episode 2 of COMA YAAD, we test the government's brand-new "two programmes" defence and dive into the actual US State Department data. The green card door? Already shut for 75 countries, including Jamaica. The visitor visa? They kept it open for the 2026 World Cup but they still deny 44.26% of Jamaican applicants. So, what exactly are we bending over backward to protect? We break down the numbers, the Cliff Hughes interview, and the questions the government is still dodging. Let’s reason this out together. Is this pragmatic friendship, or is this pressure wearing a friendly face? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
