Just four days after two illegal immigrants from Haiti were given deportation orders in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court, another Haitian met the same fate.

Engineer, Juis Rafael, 30, was ordered deported after pleading guilty to the charge of illegal entry and the revelation that he did not have any travel documents to go back home voluntarily.

He was also fined $10,000 or three months' jail time on Tuesday when he appeared before RM Winsome Henry.

Through an interpreter, the father of two told the court that he tried to flee from the hardship he was experiencing in Haiti. He said that he "fell in love with Jamaica" and decided to seek better life here.

The facts are that on December 29 about 11 a.m., a team of police conducted a raid and arrested Rafael. He was later handed over to immigration and was interviewed.

He revealed that he arrived in Kingston in October 2005 on a fishing boat with others and has been living in Granville, St. James, since.

On December 29, two other Haitians, 30-year-old Paul René and Gilbert Rafael, 28, pleaded guilty to illegal entry.
