Krydstogtskibe ramt af deportationer

De amerikanske myndigheders jagt på illegale indvandrere har nu bredt sig til krydstogtindustrien, hvor op mod 100 filippinske besætningsmedlemmer er blevet tilbageholdt og efterfølgende deporteret, uden mulighed for at få deres sager prøvet.

Ifølge organisationen The National Federation of Filipino American Associations, er deportationerne sket, selv om de pågældende var i besiddelse af gyldige 10-årige C-1/D visa, der er et krav for at arbejde om bord på amerikansk indregistrerede krydstogtskibe.


Customs and Border Patrol officererne har angivelig fortalt de deporterede, at deres visa er trukket tilbage, og at de ud over at blive deporteret, også får et 10-årigt indrejseforbud i USA. Alt sammen uden dokumentation og mulighed for at få sagerne prøvet.


Senest har myndighederne slået til mod krydstogtskibet Carnival Sunshine i Norfolk. Her blev 18 filippinske besætningsmedlemmer tilbageholdt i forbindelse med et kontrol, og ført i land i håndjern. De tilbageholdte vil blive deporteret.
Carnival Cruise Line ønsker ikke at kommentere hændelsen, da der ifølge rederiet er tale om en myndighedshandling.

En stor del af de flere hundrede tusinde ansatte om bord på krydstogtskibe over hele verden, kommer fra Filippinerne.
