92 Mexican workers who were stuck in the DR after being refused entry to the Turks & Caicos have finally made it home. Francisco Hernandez Samano, head of the Mexican Embassy's commercial sector said that the Mexican government had chartered a Nova Air flight that left for Mexico at 9am yesterday. Thus ended the ordeal for the group of 25 Mexicans that began on 30 September when they weren't allowed to enter the Turks & Caicos because officials said they had no knowledge of their work contracts.
When they returned to the DR, they took up lodging at hotels in Boca Chica but eventually ran out of money and returned to the airport where many ended up sleeping on the floor.
Listin Diario reports that the Mexican workers were probably victims of a con scheme. Each had paid group organizers between US$1,385 and US$1,850, which they will probably never get back.
