We are dealing with a big crime problem in Jamaica and we do not want it to affect our tourism industry as that would finish us off economically. I say to American missionaries, stay safe and stay home! We have enough problems without you coming here and naively wandering all over the place. When a foreigner gets murdered, all hell breaks loose. We have to devote extraordinary police resources (which are already scarce) to the crime, not to mention the adverse international publicity we get. We welcome all foreigners but please, please stay safe - if you must come to Jamaica, stay in our beautiful all-inclusive resorts. There is Sandals and many others and there is zero violent crime in our resorts. Our resorts are safe, Jamaica is not." interesting.
He was berated and ridiculed by other Jamaicans for his comment.
