ALTHOUGH the registration of Venezuelans has ended, illegal immigrants are still coming in droves into Penal.
President of the Penal/Debe Chamber Rampersad Sieuraj said the migrants continue to arrive through the porous borders of Morne Diablo and Lamoshell beaches, the latter which is near the mud volcano.
“From here, they walk straight into Penal and take up occupation,” he said. Sieuraj said there are thousands of Venezuelans occupying “every corner, nook and cranny” in Penal, overwhelming the community, which already has a population of 90, 0000 and a budget of $40-$50 million for the Penal/Debe Corporation to provide services.

This is good news. You noticing all the heavy rainfall recently?
How many years overall and consecutive, has that Penal/south area have to face extreme flooding, so much that entire communites are literally underwater?
What has your stink PNM and stink UNC done to alleviate the flooding?
They just say "well that area is prone to flooding" - The End. Give alyuh a few dollars and some almost expired goods, and alyuh tail between leg and eat that up every year.
By now Penalians/Siparians/Woodlanders/etc should have evolved to breathe underwater, but no, apparently they like it so.
When them same 'droves' of Venezuelan in Penal start complaining, whose side will you all pick?
Will you bawl "Well if they doh like it here go back!" - leaving you bobolees back to square one, swimming to school and have to sit all day in soaking clothes?
Or will you finally get a spine when them start to protest, and then join in to pretend that you is some big protester and get to appear on the 7pm news?
The people are already here, you all can work together for the benefit of BOTH sides, instead of crying like a spoilt raj/quami who didn't get the drumstick in he box lunch.
Venezuelan woman kidnapped and fondled
Shane Superville
A 19-year-old Venezuelan woman was kidnapped and fondled while waiting for a taxi outside the Queen's Park Oval, St Clair, last night.
Police said the woman was standing outside the oval at around 11 pm when a black van pulled up alongside her, offering her a ride.
When she entered the van, she was blindfolded and punched several times in the face before the driver took her to a secluded area where he fondled her.
The driver then dropped her off at the Valsayn WASA post in Farm Road, St Joseph.
She made a report and members of the St Joseph CID are investigating.

Exactly.....it have no more “we country” and “we time now” bullsheit.

The Vene watch him and looked away....he was NOT served. And then he watching me in amazement as if he expected me to back him up. Ride from fhuckin here yuh lil trini kant, have some blasted respect.
Slowly the stink Trinidadian mentality in the service industry is fading. Trinidadians are realizing that employers and customers are totally UNCONCERNED about their frustration.
GET with the times or be replaced.

I fully agree that some local service industry people are ill suited for their job, but there are places where you do get good service consistently.

nobody robbing the country. the venezuelan nationals have no pension to collect, nor are they entitled to NIS payments in case of injury or maternity. They are entitled to exactly $0.00 in benefits from the NIS, so what should their monthly payment be? That is not a rhetorical question, I'd like to know how much you'd like them to pay for something they are not eligible to collect.
It's a collective group plan... It makes no sense to have people working in the country and not contributing because the pool will diminish and the funds would be depleted eventually.paid_influencer wrote:De Dragon wrote:Amazing that these dummies pushing Venezuelans over locals don't seem to realize that the playing field is not level, and that many of these businesses are exploiting said Venes, and also essentially robbing the country by not paying NIS.

Duke: Govt to employ V'zuelans through agencies
Corey Connelly
President of the National Trade Union Centre (NATUC) Watson Duke Wednesday claimed the Government is seeking to amend the Recruiting of Workers Act to allow Venezuelan migrants to access jobs through recruitment agencies in TT.
"There is a law they are going to amend just now called Recruiting of Workers Act. It is an important act. The act will see our Venezuelan brothers and sisters choreographed and placed into groups under recruitment agencies," Duke said at a Labour Day rally, hosted by NATUC, on the Scarborough Esplanade.
Duke told public sector workers the migrants "will be given jobs – that you are not doing perfectly – at a lower rate of pay."
He added: "When they fail to amend the Retrenchment and Severance Benefit Act, Industrial Trade Union Act, Industrial Relations Act, the Trade Union Act, the Maternity Act, the Minimum Wages Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act and a number of other acts, they want to amend the Recruiting of Workers Act 1939. That is to ensure they can bring our brothers and sisters from Venezuela into work at peppercorn rates."
Duke, who is also president of the Public Services Association, said migrant workers are being exploited around the world.
"In the UK they are being exploited. They have little or no rights. This is what the government is about to do, mark my words. So what you saw last week (the registration process) was really part of a choreography to put them together and then 'Mr Big' and 'Mrs Big' will take them and now seek employment in the airport and on the garbage trucks, in different places, and you (local workers) will be looking for employment."
He urged the workers to stand up and fight back.
The political leader of the Progressive Democratic Patriots, Duke, said he decided to get into politics to represent workers on a grander scale.
He said the PDP will launch its campaign for the 2020 general elections and 2021 Tobago House of Assembly election within the next few months. Duke said he will be relinquishing his role as PSA leader to fight the Tobago East and West seats.

It makes more sense to have the people working contributing to the NIS to grow the fund to ensure continuity.
If 100k VENEZUELANS fill the labour market and do not contribute to the NIS fund it will eventually crash because locals who could have contributed now don't have any jobs in order to contribute.
The NIS crashing affects every Tom, Dick, Harry and he brother too.
