Mayor Wagnor Welcomes Deportees Back to Work in Belize  

Despite rumors, the Government of Belize has made it clear that they are not opening borders to non-Belizean deportees. However, Prime Minister John Briceño has warmly welcomed all Belizeans back home. Supporting this sentiment, Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner assured that there are jobs waiting for the returning deportees.
