Excuse me Ruralcarrier but I am on the island now, unlike you. The man's daughter can travel on the Dutch Side IF she has a signed permit from the Dutch Chief of Police and her French form filled out properly. That is the only way she can travel on either side of the island. The Dutch Chief of Police has over 1,000 applicants wishing to travel, and that is just for Dutch Side travel.

The locals have ways around everything, obviously. The black market trading of liquor is another example of cross side commerce.
