To Mr. Hoogedelgestrenge, Mr. R. Duncan The Minister of Justice Administration Office Clem Labega Square, Philipsburg St. Maarten October 11, 2010 Subject: Obtaining a residence permit for some young people born here Dear Honorable Minister,transferring a lot of writings to my blog you can copy and use all my stuff Please review the following. My request to you concerning the current situation for many years a group of young people on St. Maarten, which alhier born and raised in a situation where their documents to obtain a renewal of their residence permit by the relevant authorities to be takentreatment. By this act, and sometimes negative attitude of the very people who are in this situation helpfulness should be, remains the lack of help, with these young people are to say the least subjected to mental terror. It is so bad that a small group of about 30 young people I know personally, frustrated and sometimes depressive symptoms. These young people have their whole lives alhier to school, have good grades achieved in the past several permits had under the sponsorship of their parents and now, upon reaching their 18 years of age (majority), civil rights of these young people , namely the renewal of their residence permit be denied. The problem is that when they submit their application for a residence permit you an employer or an employment certificate requests, as proof of being employed by an employer. The irony in this is that employers alhier just going to the residence of the questions involved before they can hire young people. So in other words, from pillar to post. With respect for your position, I ask you, Your Honor Minister, to see whether you have an attachment to this legislative proposal is to implement youth group of St. Maarten to be helpful. I am convinced that you, being the only entity that an addendum or addition to the Admission and Expulsion Ordinance can implement. These 30 young people on St. Maarten / St. Martin born. The youth, who because of circumstances (free health care at the time), on St. Martin, French side were born on the French side have never lived there and are not trained and have nowhere else to go. It's a scary thought to their own beloved homeland to be refused. It is my urgent request to you for your attention as soon as possible to settle on this small group of young people and to authorize necessary to meet their needs. Corrected an internal problem which needs should be. As I and these people daily with the mental terror of fear of arrest should live, we need immediate relief from arrest. I urge you to publicly give this group until a decision on their status has been taken. Thank you in advance for your attention to this, I remain, Yours sincerely,  Tania Pedro Police,   see Appendix for more Address: Kings of the Sea Road # 11, Sucker Garden St. Maarten, West Indies Phone No: 5995224569
