What  do people expect when
you breach immigration laws
to sneak into other Coutries?
 
this deported woman said
 
 “Barbados doesn’t really have anything. The place nice and so they get many tourists. When you work you get money and the money got good value and so they tell themselves they got the best country,” she said"
 
If she feels that way??
Why even go to Barbados?
Guyanese are turning other illegal
Guyanese into Barbados immigration.
Stay in Guyana that to you love
so much to work and vote in a
better capable candidate to run
the Guyanese Government!

 
 
Are they going to print daily accounts of
illegal Guyanese immigrants being deported from Barbados & Antigua or Barbdos?
 
 
Why focus only on the illegal batch of
South American Guyanese??
like the illegal mother of twins who got deported or an illegal  50 yr old Man?
 
There's too much focus on the illegals
who are knowingly breaking the laws.
 
We have lots of legal immigrants
here in the Cayman Islands.
Why not focus on the legit problems that Legal CARICOM immigrants who fit the immigration criteria to work in other countries for a change?

Stop beating a dead horse, if you
are illegal and breaking the laws.

Even as reports increase about Guyanese being sent home from Barbados as part of that island’s efforts to clamp down on undocumented Caricom nationals, there has been no report of “earth shattering” numbers returning home.
In a brief telephone interview with Stabroek News yesterday, Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee said had there been an unusual number of persons coming back, he would have been alerted to this by the relevant authorities.
Rohee said there may be a constant trickle of persons returning from the island.
Several persons with whom this newspaper spoke in Barbados during a visit there and two persons who were willing to recount their experiences of being apprehended by immigration authorities said raids of their homes at very early morning hours resulted in their arrests.
Despite media reports about these experiences, Caricom Secretary-General Edwin Carrington at a media clinic in preparation for the 30th Heads of Government Meeting to be held here from July 2 to 5, told reporters that there was no confirmed information that the raids were indeed occurring.

No large numbers of Guyanese returning – Rohee


Even the Guyanese Officials are saying some of
these storiesof raids havent been confirmed.

Maybe this Woman
was recently deported for some
other reason that's not being
disclosed here ?
 
They need to verify their
sources  before printing up
stories of Barbados raids and Prisons
that full of Guyanese
being located in the airport area.

This Woman could have been
caught doing something else
and deported from that island for
those reasons.
 
She could be now bitter and Making some of the 
unfounded rumors up that have been reported
to the newspapers up to slander Barbados for getting herself deported.

Even the officials in Guyana
Home Affairs Minister Clement Rohee
is stating that  some of
the allegations of raids, imprisonment &
deportations have not
actually been proven & that the
number of recent deportations
isn't up & Mr. Rohee should know
if there's been an increase of  Guyanese
being repatriated recently!

 
That should set off
enough red flags about the
validity of that Woman's
story or some rumour from  panicked  Guyanese Mother
worried about her illegal Son's status
who could just  be paranoid, anxious, knowing full well that
her Son is breaking the law by being in another country illegally !

They do not bother check
these stories relayed by "so called raided Guyana
deportees"

_ from Barbados Out -  but the Guyanese Newspapers
will Rush to print  & publish them anyway to spread rumors
and incite anger.


That's Irresponsible Journalism.

This Lady could have been
deported from any number of Caribbean
Islands, because  her story is so vague of
information on the Barbados end !


She does not name who employed her in Barbados or where she lived?
or Who actually deported her or  which  Airline
transported her back to Guyana?

I'd like to see a stub of her ticket _any cell phone
could make quick evidence of a ticket,
the so called ticket that she purchased
on her own but she provided none????


I'd also  like to hear this Deportee give any
other type of physical description of the
Barbados terrain other than saying they have lots of tourist
with money, sand and beaches!


She could be fabricating this whole story of raids at night,
being held is a cold cell? in Barbados?
a cold cell in Bardados in May???



& How did She know
the Women were there on drug charges ? or is this an
embellishment. No alcoholics, no thieves,  just drug charge
People  with her in her cold cell in the middle of May?


There's too many holes in the Lady's tale &
something is fishy about that whole story.

She does not even say what happened to her Husband
who was supposedly there with her during the raid!


Did he have to purchase his own
ticket back to Guyana too????

Did they keep him in a cold cell somewhere  in the middle
Tropical Barbados with Men on drug charges too??? Come on???


"She said she had to purchase her own ticket back home and if she were unable to do this, she would have had to work at the prison and come up with enough money to pay for her ticket.
She returned home on Sunday morning but unlike the other Guyanese who came back for the same purpose she was not ushered to Eve Leary. She said she was accosted by an immigration officer here who asked her to“pass something”. She said she bluntly told him she had nothing to pass and went along her way."


Why wouldn't they usher her along to Eve Leary like the rest of
the illegal immigrants returning to Guyana?


What was the Guyanaese immigraration officer's name who asked her to
pass him something in a spontaneous bribe??


This story is really strange, vague  & full of holes !

What Happened to the Husband?

An undocumented Guyanese couple in Barbados heard a knock on their door early
one morning and then the intruders used a crowbar to wrench it open and soon
after they found themselves among others enduring the long wait before being put
aboard the next plane back home.



A woman who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Stabroek News on
Wednesday that she regretted being sent home but will pick up the pieces and
eventually move to another country since she has lost hope of accomplishing much
in her homeland.

They were sent home prior to the May 5 announcement by Prime Minister David
Thompson of the crackdown on undocumented Caricom nationals.
The new policy
took immediate effect and those undocumented Caricom nationals living there for
less than eight years prior to 2005 would be “removed” from the
island.

Recounting her experience the woman told Stabroek News that it was
about 2 o’clock on a Saturday morning and she was half dressed and fast asleep
when she heard a loud noise at the door and she and her reputed husband stayed
down hoping that the people who were hitting at their door would leave!

Does anyone else thinks it odd that this Lady  fails to mention the
fate of her Husband????? and this illegal Couple
just keep wads of  big money lying
around their shack just in case to purchase ailine tickets if raided???

These are 2 very different stories

One Woman say, they tried to break down her
door ,awakened her and her Husband

and put her in  prison cell  behind the
airport with 26 drug peddlers.


_ This Man say they knocked on his door and
asked to see his documents told him pack his things and
at the airport they questioned him for
hours before deporting him back to Guyana.
He also say He was held  at the
Airport with 5 other Men,  not 25 other Men.


http://www.stabroeknews.com/2009/news/local/06/17/guyanese-are-being-raided-in-barbados/

He also said other detainees spoke of
immigration police "knocking" on their doors to get in.

Why would they immigration officers
randomly try to break down or  kick in a person's door
and ransack one person's home when they allow others to
answer the knocking at door and produce their
legal documentation?


Why would Barbados have and employ differing
policies on procedure when carrying out
any raids  on the Guyanese ( if they do) and interrogations
or some but not  on others?
There's no mention of this deportee being told to pay his
own ticket home. it sounds like His  crooked Barbados connection
turned him in tot he authorities.


I don't believe a word of the sensationalist Woman's story at all,
It's too dramatic and different from this story !


and they are printing these illegal emigrant stories
about being deported from  barbados back to back in
detail, without providing evidence.

Can't the Guyana airport document & provide evidence these
people actually existed?

  I hope the other caribbean leaders see that we are not yet  ready for CSME. If we are going to treat our own caribbean people so. This situation shows why there will never be a single market. we are hostile against our own caribbean people.
