WASHINGTON, United States (CMC)—Antigua and Barbuda has written to United States legislator, Nancy Mace, of South Carolina, regarding legislation she has introduced in the United States House of Representatives, indicating that there are several measures that need to be corrected.

The Third World Immigration Moratorium Act was tabled in the House of Representatives on Wednesday and includes Antigua and Barbuda among 40 countries that would be subject to broad immigration restrictions.

But Antigua and Barbuda’s Ambassador to the United States, Sir Ronald Sanders, in his letter to Mace and copied to several high-ranking members of the House, said that while Antigua and Barbuda fully respects the right of a legislator to propose legislation on immigration policies, he believes that any proposed measures affecting friendly countries, should be informed by accurate information and objective facts.
