Increased deportations: an American nightmare; an American dream

Deportees
Alex Jones/Honduras This Week
Deportees arrive at Toncontin airport in Tegucigalpa.

Honduras This Week National NewsThe 150 Hondrans deported from the US on the 25th April 2007 are greeted at Toncontín airport by the words: “I was a migrant and you received me.” It is an extract from the Bible – Matthew 25 v 35 - and is printed on the wall of Tegucigalpa’s ´Center of Assistance for Migrants´. As the deportees move through the building, receiving the baleadas and drink that volunteers have prepared for them, they are faced with further messages: “Today is an excellent day to start again” one poster cries. “Welcome to a beautiful country.” Full Article

Magnificent view of Isla del Tigre.

Travel & Tourism in HondurasFeel like soaking up the sun but your back is not up to the seven hour drive to Tela? Then I have a quick getaway for you. Just one hundred and thirty six kilometers south of Tegucigalpa you can drop off your car at the Coyolito Pier (. There, parking costs around 40 lempiras a day) and then head. The real fun begins once you try to cross to the Island of Amapala. You have a variety of “pangas” or small motor boats to choose from. The ride to the island is relatively safe; however there are some boats that offer life jackets. Another tip: cover your photography equipment in a plastic bag to protect it from occasional splashing. Shared water taxis are normally 25 lempiras per person. Full Article


Roatan

A MESSAGE FROM THOSE IN THE TRENCHES

Travel & Tourism in HondurasTwo members of the Roatan police department representing many others they claim, asked us to run the following. This because it seems the new rule about Bay Islanders not carrying even licensed weapons anymore will only un-arm the honest upstanding citizens but will not affect the criminals in the least. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.  A gun in the hand is better than a policeman on the phone.  Gun control is not about guns; it’s about control.  If guns cause crime, then pencils because misspelled words. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms. If you don’t know your rights you don’t have any. Those who trade liberty for security have neither. 64,999,987 firearms owners in America killed no one yesterday. You don’t shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive. Criminals love gun control -- it makes their jobs safer. If guns cause crime, then matches cause arson. Only a government that is afraid of its citizens tries to control them. The incident at Virginia University did not change their minds about running the above. Isolated  incident.By Don Pearly
