NEW YORK, USA — Several prominent members of the Jamaican community here have expressed opposition to the Government’s plan to enter a third-country nationals (TCNs) agreement with the United States.

Under the deal Jamaica will accept no more than 25 TCNs from the US over two-week intervals with the agreement paused once more than 10 are on the island.

But the issue is raising concerns among Jamaicans in the US with many calling for the Government to make public the full details including whatever benefits the country is likely to derive from the arrangements.
