PHILIPSBURG--By law, St. Maarten does not regulate granting of Dutch citizenship, and this has left hundreds of children and young people born here to foreign parents without a regulated status, or are forced to leave the only home they know upon turning 18 for their parents’ country or live here in limbo. This discriminatory system will be ended by the United People’s (UP) party once given the mandate in today’s election to govern the country.
