Free Publicity

Whoa. I guess the MVA doesn't need to spend for more publicity about Saipan since the Miura case trial for extradition. Now, with his hiring of Michael Jackson's lawyer in his defense? That is something to look forward to.

Is Saipan now known at least in the biggest state in the US? Are people asking where Saipan is? Has this perked Californians' curiosity?

In Japan, I believe Saipan is now more popular than ever. This is the time that the tourism agency should be taking advantage of, right?

Wrong? Let me know...

Miura Equates Border Control?

The recent turn of events that gathered a large number of Japanese journalists to the CNMI has been regarded by local officials an excellent indicator that the Northern Marianas has a reliable control of its borders.

The Japanese businessman Kazuyoshi Miura's allegedly plotted the murder of his wife back in 1981 made international sensation as Saipan has been mentioned several times in major news network in the US and in the world.

The government expressed that the weekend's event disproved criticism from Washington, D.C. that the local government has poor control over its border. Reports added that it is not difficult to control the local border, as the Commonwealth is an isolated chain of islands.

“Our ports of entry are clearly defined. We have only a few ways to get in and out-by ship or by air. There's no connecting landmass, obviously, since we're a remote island. We have a good border control system here and it is getting better and better,” the government spokesperson said.

Border control, along with national security and the CNMI's history of labor abuse, is among the major concerns commonly cited by supporters of federalizing local immigration. (ST)
