The most recent the aid piling up in Curacao heading to Venezuela this weekend and dealing with refugees. IMHO St. Maarten has enough to deal with post-Irma and should stay neutral in Curacao's involvement with South America. http://www.dutchcaribbeanlegalporta...ao-and-st-maarten-sign-savaneta-covenant

I noticed that Bonaire was not a part of this co-op agreement. At first that seemed strange, but the three islands who did unite here are autonomous island countries whereas Bonaire is still considered a property of the Netherlands. But, overall I applaud SXM for their involvement, and it probably would have been looked upon poorly if Curacao and Aruba asked St. Maarten to join them in this struggle and they refused. Let's hope some good results emerge from this.

This does effect tourists when refugees come through back doors and have no jobs. Crime, prostitution and drugs can become a problem very quickly.
