Barbados’ Ambassador to CARICOM, Dennis Kellman, said the free movement of nationals from across the region has increased the country’s social services burden.



According to Mr. Kellman, Barbados has reached maximum capacity because of immigration.



He said the country does not have enough housing, school or healthcare facilities.



Mr. Kellman said many Barbadians have been denied jobs as a result of the influx of migrants.
