Will Belize Become a “Stopover” Nation for U.S. Deportees? 

Will the U.S. ask Belize to take in deportees, both Belizean and foreign, like they have with other Central American countries? Costa Rica and Panama have already accepted hundreds. Could Belize be next? We spoke with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Francis Fonseca, to find out.

“We have had discussion with the charge’ d affairs here. No such request has been made to Belize as yet. if it is made, it is something we would have to see the details of that proposal. It is something we would have to take to Cabinet. Cabinet will ultimately make that decision depending on the details of that proposal.”
