"Made available late Thursday, the agreement is described as a non-binding arrangement. Either party can alter it by giving written notice. The agreement can also be terminated at any time with advance notice. In the MOU's details, Grenada appears to have succeeded in inserting a key clause. It relates to the maintenance and upkeep of any deportee it accepts. The U.S. will provide funds to care for anyone it sends to Grenada."
"Other key clauses refer to intended arrivals possessing clean criminal records. They also require that arrivals possess skills that the federation with Petite Martinique and Carriacou can properly utilize for development purposes. Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, like colleagues in several Caribbean Community member nations, had signaled a willingness to accept the deportees once they meet the clean record criteria, possess the skills, and are to be looked after by the U.S."
Grenada published a draft memorandum of understanding with the United States to accept deportees who are unwilling to return home or whose countries refuse them. The agreement is non-binding, can be altered by written notice, and can be terminated with advance notice. The MOU includes a clause requiring U.S. funding for the maintenance and upkeep of accepted deportees. Acceptance criteria emphasize clean criminal records and useful skills for development in Petite Martinique and Carriacou. Several regional neighbors are engaged in similar talks with the U.S. about receiving deportees.
