Cadogan,<br />My view is that when the government is dealing with getting over key messages there is nothing that beats a statement: we can then argue about the actual words. Hoping that the media get the right message is messy and risky, especially for tendentious issues. So, why rely on the Nation and VOB to interpret oral remarks?<br /><br />That said, I do understand that being illegal in a country is a criminal act, hence my '...while doing nothing illegal, other than being undocumented...'<br /><br />So, I just see another fine mess made possible by a careless approach to handling a very sensitive issue. Let's hope that over the next month the government's mouthpieces can figure out how to say the right things. It would be good if the town hall meetings were televised live. Maybe that is hoping for too much.Dennis Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500715553200132089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498961727602805543.post-53648858077611241222010-01-07T10:40:50.007-04:002010-01-07T10:40:50.007-04:00"which reported that the government would be ..."which reported that the government would be targeting undocumented people who were involved in criminal activity."<br /><br />One of the impressions created by that misleading story is the fact that if you are an illegal alien and you keep your nose clean then you can remain for as long as you like. <br /><br />Not true.<br /><br />If an illegal alien is caught, he or she will be kicked out as is done in every country of the world including Guyana.<br /><br />Anyway I sure that you are aware that being illegal in another person's country constitutes criminal activity. It is against the Laws of the host country including Guyana.Carson C.

Cadogan, I did not see any setting straight of the record in the Nation, which reported that the government would be targeting undocumented people who were involved in criminal activity. If I missed something else, please flag it.<br /><br />To me, it is nonsense to have had an amnesty and then end up at this position. The presumption is that the government knows such individuals or can find them relatively easily. In which case, why not deal with them since May?Dennis Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500715553200132089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5498961727602805543.post-89922614043530863912010-01-06T19:15:48.648-04:002010-01-06T19:15:48.648-04:00You need to revisit the first part of this piece. ...You need to revisit the first part of this piece.
