“Supporting Fair Immigration Reform” congratulates PLP; changes name

The individuals behind the “We Support Pathways” Facebook group and our members would like to thank this opportunity to congratulate the PLP for winning the general election, the Hon Walton Brown, JP, MP on his appointment as Minister responsible for immigration and the Hon Patricia Gordon Pamplin, JP, MP on her appointment as Opposition Leader. We will continue to press the need for fair immigration reform and we will assist all public servants where we can. In the meantime, we wish the new Government well as they go forward to meet today’s challenges. We also wish to let the public know that our group will be changing its name to embrace the broader issue of immigration reform. While ‘Pathways’ was a good policy to embrace, we also recognize that this is not what any final immigration reform will look like. Therefore, we will be known as “Supporting Fair Immigration Reform” going forward. On a final note, many of our supporters have expressed fears about what a new Government means for immigration reform. While it is likely that ‘Pathways’ will not emerge in future, we do ask you to give the PLP a chance to come up with a policy. Many members of the new Government, including the new Immigration Minister, have opined in the past on the need to address certain humanitarian situations. Let’s wait and see what they or any bipartisan reform group proposes first.
