Trinidad &Tobago Prime Minister backs deportation of 13 Jamaicans

TRINIDAD and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says her country did absolutely nothing wrong in the deportation of 13 Jamaicans last week, the Trinidad Express reported in its online edition yesterday.

According to the newspaper, the prime minister's stance was taken following receipt of the official report from the Immigration Division that was presented to her by Security Minister Gary Griffith.

Until any further evidence comes forward, based on that report it appears we are in compliance with the law," the Express reported Persad-Bissessar as saying yesterday.

Despite her strong position, however, Persad-Bissessar has advised Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Dookeran to travel to Jamaica in order to have discussions with his "counterparts" to address the issue.

She has also signalled her intention to hold discussions with Trade Minister Vasant Bharath over the threat of a boycott of Trinidad and Tobago products in Jamaica, in response to last week's deportation.

"I have advised Minister Dookeran to accept the invitation, a letter of invitation came (yesterday) from Jamaica to Minister Dookeran and I have asked him to accept that invitation to speak with his counterparts there," Persad-Bissessar said yesterday after the official hand-over ceremony of the Arima Police Station.

The invitation to Dookeran from Jamaica's Foreign Minister AJ Nicholson came in the wake of 13 Jamaican nationals being deported after being denied entry into this country last week. The 13 Jamaicans were not allowed to leave the Piarco International Airport after landing there last week Tuesday, in breach of the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas which allows for free movement of Caribbean Community (Caricom) nationals among Caricom Member States.

However, the Express said Persad-Bissessar yesterday referenced the recent ruling by the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in the Shanique Myrie case to highlight this county's adherence to all rules.

Myrie had filed a lawsuit against the Barbados Government, claiming that on March 14, 2011, she was made to undergo a painful and humiliating body cavity search by a Barbadian border official upon her arrival at the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport from Jamaica.

Persad-Bissessar said following the CCJ's ruling in the Myrie matter Caricom issued some guidelines to all the governments of members states, but maintained that there are discretions that can be exercised by immigration officials.

The rich is getting richer, poor getting poorer

Courtesy Jamaica Observer
Capitalism is an economic system based on private property and private enterprise and its great virtue is that driven by private gain for individuals and profits for businesses, it encourages enterprise and innovation.
Capitalism however, has weaknesses which the state is expected to address or redress, by providing the conditions for enterprise e.g. law and order, national defence, infrastructure, education and regulations of the market to level the playing field.
The most important role of the state is to redress the fundamental dilemma of capitalism which is the tendency towards inequality among different groups in society. If the state does not assist the poor and working class with social services, then material deprivation and social animosity can cause violence and behaviour which is detrimental to capitalism itself.
This was the rationale for the welfare state, democratic socialism and the mixed economy. The rich accept that their good fortune makes it possible to help the poor through taxation by government. The question is how much should be reallocated from the rich to the poor to prevent the society from falling into chaos. The answer depends on philosophies of governance and social justice. At one extreme is the social pathologies which blame the victim e.g. ‘the poor are poor because they do not want to work or have too many children’, and at the other extreme is steep, possibly demotivating taxation in which the rich pay a larger percentage of their income as tax.
There is growing inequality of income and wealth across the world, in societies as widely differing as China, Sweden and the United States of America. The share of national income going to the richest 1% of Americans has doubled to 20% in the last 20 years. The trend is evident in poor countries e.g. India has 48 billionaires and the richest man in the world is Mexican. The richest 1% of adults owned nearly 50% of the world’s assets while half of the world adult population owns barely 1% of global wealth. Nearly half the world’s population, 3 billion people survive on less than US$2 a day.
The richest country is Qatar with a per capita GDP of $104,284 and the poorest country is Democratic Republic of Congo, with less than $365. The gap between the richest and the poorest countries has grown significantly in the last 25 years.
The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor across the world. While there will always be poor people the world is getting richer and therefore has the means to alleviate and significantly reduce global poverty. Charity is noble and for the unemployable but the problem must be addressed by reducing unemployment and underemployment. Some of the resources to be used to reduce poverty must come from the rich and those who are becoming richer.
Governments can do this without depriving capitalism of the driving force of private initiative and private gain. The problem is that there has to be a societal consensus that everyone must get better off. This community spirit needs to be revived and those who raise the issues of inequality and poverty must not be viewed as undermining capitalism. At the same time, the Government must do all to make Jamaica a more business friendly country, without which we’ll all be poorer.
And, we can’t afford, as we are seeing in the US presidential election, to speak only of the ‘middle class’.
