Opposition Leader, Washington Misick

PROVIDENCIALES, TCI – The Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) is being invaded by Haiti, said leader of the opposition Progressive National Party (PNP), Washington Misick, singling out the local Haitian consulate as “potentially in collusion with the perpetrators of these vicious crime of human trafficking.”
Misick was addressing the people of the TCI via a Facebook video on April 1, in response to the recent capsize of a migrant vessel off West Caicos, a tragedy that claimed at least 14 lives.
In the video which was also shared on the PNP’s Facebook page on April 2, Misick said, “I must also condemn those mercenaries who would exploit the vulnerabilities of persons who are essentially persons who have very little hope, and so they decide to do desperate things and to hand over whatever resources they could put their hands on to escape the poverty of Haiti.”
