Young: No ‘boatloads of Venezuelans’
Julien Neaves
NATIONAL Security Minister Stuart Young has rubbished claims that Venezuelans are coming to TT by boat in the “thousands.” He was contributing to Senate debate yesterday on a private Opposition motion calling on Government to implement a strategic crime prevention plan.
He said in efforts to secure the nation’s borders a decision was taken to upgrade the radar system and it is operational. He recalled he saw the system in action last Friday.
“Despite all of the noise, all of the untruths, all of the attempts to mislead the population of TT with persons coming in on our southern coast the day after the 14th of June when the registration process came in the radar system – and I met with the analyst and the technician and I saw it for myself – one vessel, one vessel that tried to come into our borders from Venezuela.”
He said Siparia Regional Corporation chairman Dr Glenn Ramadharsingh has said “thousands were coming in” and another councillor “of no worth whatsoever” was “screaming, ‘Boatloads of them coming.’”
Young said these claims were completely untrue and the technology had proved it. He explained the technology was being used to analyse the data and look at pathways that were being repeatedly used and this was where the limited resources were being driven. He said a lot of illegal arms were being picked up and yesterday there was a big find of marijuana.
He said the intake of illegal drugs in this country has been reduced and this has resulted in some murders “because people can’t pay for the consignments their drugs and then the gangs deal with each other that way, unfortunately.”
He said a lot of illegal firearms and ammunition were available in TT and this was not only because of porous borders on the sea front but issues at Piarco Airport. He stressed the dismantling of some of the equipment at Piarco between 2010 and 2015 “allowed porous entry both in our legal airports and also at our ports.”
He said scanners were being used at the sea ports, Point Lisas and Port of Spain: “Despite all of the noise and all of the lies told, they are in use.” He added the dismantling of equipment at Piarco by the previous administration allowed the entry of illegal arms.

CoP dismisses ‘rumshop talk’ of mass migration
Shane Superville
Commissioner of Police Gary Griffith said the police were working with their regional and international partners in performing thorough background checks and ensuring the safety of citizens, in relation to the influx of migrants from Venezuela. He dismissed reports of criminals being among the immigrants as "rumshop talk."
Griffith made the remarks during this morning's weekly media briefing at the Police Administration Building on Sackville Street, Port of Spain.
He said while the police were aware of the influx, contrary to the perception of some, there was no mass immigration to TT through illegal ports.
Referring to a television screen in the briefing room of the building, Griffith showed a photo showing Havelock Street, outside the Queen's Park Oval, empty. He said this was taken before the deadline for the registration of Venezuelan migrants and asserted that reports of a large-scale movements of migrants were untrue.
"Where are the tens of thousands? This (photo) was way prior to the deadline on Friday at the Queen's Park Oval, so why would people flock here in their numbers through ships, boats, submarines and hovercraft, but don't register?
"The wrong perception we continue to have where people love to give rumshop talk...I wish to assure the citizens that there is no such situation that took place or is taking place with respect to this mass influx of people entering illegal ports of entry."
Griffith also said while there was no cause for panic surrounding an influx of migrants, there were plans for the police to do their part in securing borders, which would involve assisting the Defence Force on interceptor vessels around the coast and in swamplands.

UNC: Moves to get V’zuelans to vote
Carol Matroo
CONCERNS were raised by Opposition leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on the possibility that Government will to issue ID cards to Venezuelans and other non- Commonwealth citizens to enable them to vote in upcoming local and general elections.
Speaking at the UNC’s Monday Night Forum at Aranguez North Secondary School, Persad-Bissessar said Government has filed what is known as Immigration Regulations in the Parliament, which they have applied to have annulled. This, she said, could be done with a simple majority.
She said the Immigration Regulations were filed a few days before government’s amnesty registration process for the Venezuelan migrants.
She said it was only brought to the Opposition’s attention a few days ago because the way the law was framed, it has to be laid in Parliament.
The regulations took effect immediately upon publication in the Gazette.
Persad-Bissessar said that a few months ago, at least one person highlighted that a Venezuelan person had a TT ID card with the same number as hers.
She said the changes of the Immigration Regulations will give power to the National Security Minister to regularise and naturalise aliens, that is, non-Commonwealth citizens.
“If you are a Commonwealth citizen there is a certain process to become a resident and/or become a citizen, but if you are an alien such as from Venezuela, you are not included in the law. This is giving power to a politician and a member of the present Government, the power to give these 14,000-20,000 Venezuelans residency, then citizenship.”
In a report in the Newsday on June 9, Venezuelan Ambassador to TT Carlos Perez said he welcomed Government’s registration process for Venezuelans in TT. He said the process will give Venezuelans an opportunity to regularise their status, get an opportunity to work for a year, and be protected by the country’s laws.
Persad-Bissessar said without creating a single new job, Government has now added thousands of Venezuelan migrants to the job market.
She said the competition for the few remaining jobs has now become very difficult.
‘No citizenship for registered migrants’
Anna Ramdass
Venezuelan ambassador Carlos Perez got it wrong when he said the registration process will provide an opportunity for Venezuelans to regularise their status and apply for residency or citizenship, says National Security Minister Stuart Young.
The Minister also disclosed that the total number of Venezuelans registered over the two-week period was 16,523.
Young knocked the United National Congress (UNC) for “creating xenophobia” and dismissed its claim that the People’s National Movement (PNM) would use Venezuelans to steal the local and general elections. He was speaking on the debate on Tuesday at the Senate sitting of a private motion moved by Opposition Senator Wade Mark which sought to annul the The Immigration (Amendment) Regulation 2019.
Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Monday drew reference to a Newsday report dated June 9, 2019, in which Perez said Venezuelans who are legally registered will have another opportunity to apply for residency or citizenship in Trinidad and Tobago or get a legal work permit.

Express wrote:“We have seen a large number of Venezuelans in Penal Debe and they are obviously looking for employment wherever and whatever they get to do. There are a number of them who have been employed in the area and what we have noticed is that their work ethic is different from Trinidadians. They are doing a fair days work for a fair days pay.”
He said the migrants were willing to “do anything” for money.
Sieuraj said Venezuelans can be found in bars, supermarkets, retail outlets and construction sites throughout the district.
The language barrier, he said, prevented them from better opportunities.
Sieuraj denied that the migrants were being paid salaries below minimum wage. He said, “They are being paid minimum wage. I have heard one or two people in the construction sector saying they were paying a little more than that.
The employers are comfortable with their work ethics, they are prepared to work 7am to 4pm or 7am to 5pm or whatever hours they are asked to work. And employers give extra money for extra hours.”
The migrants, he said, may actually improve the construction sector in Trinidad and Tobago.
“We find that some employers are more willing to take them on than Trinidadians. And there is a lesson to be learnt from that because of the fact that for too long Trinidadians seem not to be prepared to work. They prepared to stand up on a shovel for two hours and get pay or come to work in an office at 9am and leave at 3pm and take two hours lunch,” he said.
Sieuraj said there were few stories of migrants being deceitful and conniving. But most employers, he said, were pleased with the workers.
“These people are prepared to work longer hours. So a job that would take a group of Trinidadians seven days to complete, these Venezuelans would do it in three or four days. So they are prepared to work longer hours and more assiduously with greater productivity,” he said.

Because when Jose or Juan loud you up for reaching 10:00 instead of 8:00 you will want to cry about how "look how we take them in when they was in trouble, and now they want to rule we"

I could just imagine years from now when Isabella loud up Kwami and Baboolal because is 1:30pm and them still on lunch and the work from the previous day not finished, and they will go to their lil whatsapp group and want to plan to kidnap and rape the woman and then say she was prostituting.

MaxCax doing this sheit long time. Ask the dumbarse to go Venezuela and live nah, and see how fast he changes his tune.

But its better than what we have now and we have to make the best of it. Its just a matter of time for exactly what you stated to happen....but we embrace it while it lasts.
I hope the average Trinidadian can learn from this. Adopt a similar work ethic and apply it.
That's why they had to get registered in order for minimum wage to apply to them . They will get some level of exploitation, but they are free to switch jobs at any time.nemisis wrote:The beat up in reality isn’t about the vene, it’s the fact that these vene being exploited will inversely affect trinis as well.
