Local getting passports for their people up the islands- so some of them small island numbers might include Syrians.

A lot of them are fishermen.

[Chimera]

how much allyuh feel a trinidadian mason will charge per day, if 10,000 guyanese get deported?

$1000 plus?

[stev]

what's the main problem with those immigrants though? They causing crime? they destroying the country?

if they willing to work then let them work...trinis too lazy anyway.

[mero]

A few filipinos get deported the other day and one in hospital still; 2 brothers workers in the "vicinity" of the Hyatt, big argument start, man stab up his brother and throw the knife in the sea.

[Redman]

This is a stupid way to think so just because they willing to wrk that mean you will let any and anybody in the country ..who knows the characters and backgrounds of these illegal individuals?

[Chimera]

i eh really sure you could say they not contributing eh

they paying rent
buying food/clothes locally
spending their money in our whore houses
they've sent down the price of labor

[Conrad]

^For business men like yourself.

They still need to be regulated and taxed accordingly.

I pay taxes and because of the additional strain they put on our resources I stand to not reap as much benefit than if they weren't here.

[orangefox]

^ Those people building Trinidad ... without them we cannot eat ( food) , sleep (security) or get a bess ting (sex) ...

[sliderz1]

no fuel subsidy for them

[kjaglal76v2]

When they need medical where they goin?

They enjoying the benefits of the infrastructure without contributing

exactly

[orangefox]

^ Ba ! Hahahahahahahah !
Fuel ?
Dem driving Audi ...

[Conrad]

And when Trinidad is riddled with the negatives they bring do you think they're going to stay to help build Trinidad?

No, they're on to the next promising economy that would let them come in.

No one is saying to not let anyone in at all, they need to be passed through the system.

When a crime is committed by an illegal immigrant there is not database to refer to.

When they bring along diseases and pests from their homeland, more resources have to be channeled towards their wellbeing.

That gas subsidy that theyre itching to remove, how much of it do you think can be attributed to illegal immigrants?

would it be as bad as the characters / backgrounds of the individuals in the country right now?

remember, these people (most) ran away to WORK in trinidad and live a better life. we have individuals in trinidad who dont even want to work or better themselves.
