S2 Ep. 3- Christmas' Jesus was an Immigrant

Walasaha: A Podcast by Dominique Noralez

Welcome to episode 3, where I talk a bit about the amnesty program that the Government of Belize is going to launch in April 2022. It’s a pretty hot button topic but it’s not new, in fact, it is Belize’s 3rd Amnesty Program granting permanent residency like in 1999 and/or citizenship like in 1984. I wanted to discuss the potential economic benefits since in this world development policy usually is guided by economic benefits. Let’s engage!
