There are Thousands of Fans not just on the Dancehall Level but also the Hip Hop Level that want to see Bounty Killer Perform. Bounty Killer Is a Man that loves his Country,His Culture and the dancehall heritage and just wishes to share it with the world.”

Please allow Bounty Killer the Opportunity that many of our forefathers fought to protect. Allow this man to perform, spread caribbean culture and love thru music. Allow him to show people that thru hard work and determination anything is possible. Finally just be fair because if a person has committed no crimes there is no reason America should be denying a hard working Icon such As Bounty Killer A work Visa.
