We don’t want any deportees that are not Guyanese

(Kaieteur News) – Dem boys seh Guyana gat some people who believe governance does best when nobody watching. Imagine that. While Parliament not meeting, while there is no Leader of the Opposition, while the National Assembly collecting dust, somebody somewhere feel now is the perfect time to talk with Uncle Sam about taking in third-country deportees.

Deportees! From America! As if Guyana is some kind of international lost-and-found department.

Dem boys nearly choke on dem bush tea when dem hear that one. Since when Guyana become a dumping ground for people other countries don’t want? We can’t even properly deport we own criminals, but we now want to import other people own? This is like borrowing trouble on hire purchase.

Dem boys seh let us be clear. This is not a small matter. This is not signing for stationery or agreeing to exchange Christmas cards. This is about sovereignty, law, morality and common sense. Any agreement to accept third-country nationals deported from the United States must come to Parliament. Full stop. End of story. No Parliament, no Opposition Leader, no mandate, no moral authority. Anything else is backdoor governance, and Guyanese people allergic to backdoors.

Morally, Guyana should say no. We did not try these people. We did not sentence them. We do not know them. We are not responsible for America’s immigration mess. Charity begins at home, and home already struggling with we own problems to add another layer. We can barely manage our own problems without importing extra ones in bulk.

Legally, dem boys seh this thing shaky like Georgetown seawall at spring tide. On what legal basis Guyana would accept non-Guyanese deportees? Where the laws? Where the safeguards? Where the consultation? Or is the plan to smile, nod, sign and hope nobody notice?

Dem boys also notice the timing real convenient. Parliament not meeting. No Opposition Leader to raise hell. No debate. No sunlight. But dem boys seh sunlight coming whether government like it or not.

So let it be known: dem boys oppose any talks, any discussions, any quiet understandings on third-country deportees. If the government push this foolishness, dem boys will be there. Peaceful protest. Loud voices. Clear message. Guyana is a country, not a warehouse.

Talk half. Leff half.
