"Will Belize accept being a third country for the US to deport Venezuelans, Hatians and Nicaraguans to there are many indications that Guatemala may agree to this."

John Briceno, Prime Minister
"No we will not accept it. We are a sovereign nation and they cannot force us to accept people that are not citizens of this country and as far as I am concerned we are not going to accept any citizen that is not Belizean. Any Belizean that they send back we welcome them we need workers so we don't have a problem with that."
