| Go Home, Yankee!! | | Thu, November 6, 2014 | | 
A 53 year old American man who has been living in Belize illegally - has been told to leave Belize. Joseph Michael Schmeltzer, who is originally from Los Angeles, California was taken to court where he was read a single charge of deemed a prohibited immigrant. He appeared before Senior Magistrate, Sharon Fraser in Court #2 where he was unrepresented. Schmeltzer who appeared disoriented told the Senior Magistrate that all he wants to do is remain in Belize. But that won't happen; the immigration department made a request for a removal order, so Schmeltzer will be put on a plane home by the end of the week.
He was living in Belize illegally since September after arriving in country on June 2 2014 via the San Pedro seaport.
Undeterred by this outcome, Schmeltzer says that he will be coming back to Belize as he likes the country and wants to spend more time here.
