In fairness, I have to confess that I was a bit reluctant in
taking on this task, as the Cayman Immigration Law has changed
perhaps more so than any other legislation in the Cayman
Islands' history. It has always been a controversial and well
debated topic. It can be an unpleasant and daunting task for
persons making their way through the system, and for those who
constantly try to revolutionize the law to catch up with the times,
it has proven to be an equally daunting task.
To keep the immigration issue in perspective; the UK has about
13% foreign nationals in its work force. The US has about 16%.
Bermuda, which is a closer comparison to the Cayman Islands, has a
work permit force of 32.4% of its work force.
