While Guam\u2019s incumbent delegate has remained silent on the recent deportation of a FAS migrant, former Interior assistant secretary and congressional delegate candidate Tony Babauta is in full support of Gov. Eddie Baza Calvo\u2019s deportation executive order. <\/p>\n
\u201cI applaud Governor Calvo for the steps he has taken to prioritize the removal of FAS citizens who have broken Guam\u2019s laws and meet the test for deportation under the Compacts of Free Association,\u201d Babauta said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe U.S. government has not denied that deportation is their responsibility, but they are shirking their duties under the guise of national priorities. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf Guam is the center stage for our nation\u2019s military might, shouldn\u2019t our community deserve what is right? And if Ms. Bordallo can be vocal for the military, then why is she so silent for our community,\u201d Babauta added. <\/p>\n
\u201cI will work with our leaders, Democrat or Republican, to fight for Guam. Our community should never be put on the back burner and be a lesser priority to whomever is our voice in the nation\u2019s capitol. It certainly will not be that on my watch.\u201d <\/p>\n
