Folks, I heard your concerns and they make sense, until you are those illegals that these folks might report. Let us not make comments in our comfort zones of legality and allow innocent hard working folks to be either deported or they loose their jobs and then talk, and talk. An injustice to one Gambian is an injustice to all Gambians. I am not going to lie to you'll, for every one individual they report, I'll offer three of their own and I am going to start with their very household. You'll are acting as if I was the one who started all this. There is a bright side to this story though. I called the Embassy yesterday and spoke to Tijan Ceesay on this issue and I am glad that we reached an understanding. He gave me his word and I am going to rely on it, but make no mistake, my cards are close to ny chest. All of us talking, how many are illegal? Let us try to see this issue not from two wrongs don't make a right, but from the eyes of those that might be affected. Blackmail will not be tolerated from anyone and I'm glad that this issue is resolved, but I'm equally glad that they also realized what's in store for them. There is a time to dialogue and there is a time to fight, and I'm ready for both when it is absolutely necessary.
