We are used to seeing the Traffic Wardens set up traffic checkpoints along different streets on the island, surprising unsuspecting motorists who do not have their driver’s license or have their insurance expired! Yes it comes as an inconvenience, at times, but it’s their job to keep us in line.
To the surprise of others, the Traffic Wardens were joined yesterday, Wednesday, July 27, 2011, by the Immigration Department that was conducting documentation checks on visitors and immigrants. It was part of their random and routine check-ups that they conduct on the island to assure foreigners have the proper documentations.
They check for ID’s, passports, legal documents and keep an eye on for foreigners and suspicious characters. Those who cannot provide proper proof or reasonable identification are taken to the Immigration Office from further interrogation.

WOW I never carry my passport or for that matter much other 'inportant' ID with me when I am out and about while visiting San Pedro. Hopefully they give you time to produce such documents.

It is good that the immigration should not do this once in a blue moon but more often. There are too many illegals living on the island and also around the entire country. The reason i say this is look at how many illegals are on the island and they are getting a piece of our jewelry that most Belizean can't get LAND JOBS and openning Buisnesses. COME on JUST TO NAME A FEW SOME ARE GETTING A BELIZE DRIVERS LICENESE which no illegals can get COME PEOPLE this government is out of hand the immigration needs to do just as what is been happening in the united state [ FIRST A FINE , IMPRISONMENT THEN DEPORTATION. THATS WHAT THE IMIGRATION IS THERE FOR not just to sit in an office. I pay my tax and so of many other working belizean
