Towel around his naked body, toothbrush in his mouth and Kanchan blazing away

May 25, 2009 Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon

There cannot be any debate in this country about the Barbados Prime Minister’s edict to Caribbean nationals living illegally in his country to register or be deported. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this policy. There cannot be anything wrong with such an approach.

Guyanese people who are enraged about what PM Thompson has done are misguided. Stupid may be a better word or even barefaced. We hope there aren’t Guyanese who are voicing denunciation of Mr. Thompson. If they do they will end up looking idiotic. What are they annoyed about?

There isn’t a country in the world that would tolerate illegal immigrants living openly. In European democracies where electoral competition is the norm, immigration determines who wins at election time. One great national figure in this country referred to it as “piss poor.”

We are one of the most impoverished nations in the global community and one that is not known among the peoples of the world. We need all the skills we can get. Yet we jail even Caribbean nationals for entering Guyana illegally. This country has often deported citizens of other states for having no legal status to be in Guyana. The Chinese are the main recipients of this policy.

In one of the most horrible places in the world – the Brickdam lockup in Guyana – the courts remanded a Nepalese for over three months because they didn’t believe he was from Nepal. I am amazed that Nepal didn’t send a warship to free its citizen from that hell hole.

There is the claim that the Bajan authorities are identifying East Indians to question them. Who do the American immigration agents pick up all the time – Hispanics. Why are they going to pick up white people? The Guyanese police do this in Lethem.

They go to the Brazilians only. You cannot profile people and if the Bajans are doing that it is wrong. But surely, they have a right to ask East Indians from Guyana if their papers are in order. Why do Guyanese living here think that the Bajan investigators are stupid? They know, I know, the Guyana Government knows and the Guyanese nation knows that there are hundreds of Indians from Guyana living illegally in Barbados.

What are they doing there? What can they expect from Barbados? It is one of, if not the most inhabited countries in the world in terms of person per square mile. I thought Hong Kong had outgunned Barbados but I am not sure of that. Why don’t the Guyanese Indians leave the people’s island alone?

Its economy cannot sustain large migration into the island. Why are Indians flocking to Barbados and hiding out? It is a foolish thing to do. Indians will stand out and be identified. Just as we see certain people on Regent Street and know that they are Chinese, the Bajans know the Guyanese Indians.

One suspects that the people of Barbados, especially the middle classes are afraid of little Berbice in Richmond Hill, New York reproducing itself on the island.

Go to little Berbice in NY, and you see a certain type with the towel around his waist, brushing his teeth openly in public and soca music blaring out loudly. The fabric of Barbados would collapse for sure if such an enclave springs up in the island. Tourism will go into death drive. Mr. Thompson is afraid of this.

You talk to members of this sub-culture in Richmond Hill and they haven’t lost their undesirable instincts. They cuss out African Guyanese, cuss out the PNC, praise the PPP but at the same time they are hustling their family members and relatives out of Guyana.

The US Embassy is the guy to deal with these “strange” Guyanese. The US Embassy has been in a no-nonsense mood for over two yeas now – “We don’t want to see supporting documents; they are bogus anyway. Just answer the question. Sorry we cannot grant you a visa at this moment.” End of story.

Guyana is potentially a rich country. What are the East Indians from Guyana doing in little Barbados that does not have a large industrial/manufacturing base. Come back home to Guyana and let us straighten out this country once and for all times. Indians have to make the psychic break with the PPP or they are going to end up living illegally in Afghanistan.

I hope Mr. Thompson does what he sets out to do. Whip dem on their bamsee, then, put dem on a plane for Guyana so they can come home on Independence Day tomorrow.
