Guyanese believed making money from Haitian smuggling ring

Dear Editor,
There are two serious factors which are against Guyana’s national interest by permitting the Haitian smuggling ring to operate here:
(i) Condoning the people smuggling is criminalising those Guyanese who are in the pay of the ring. Such Guyanese in the criminal dip include some small guesthouse owners, some police and some persons in the media whose identities have been noted by some foreign countries.
(ii) By permitting Guyana’s territory to be illegally used to illegally allow tens of thousands to clandestinely enter neighbouring countries is against international law. By so doing, Guyana is getting into bad relations with neighbouring countries.
Guyana must extricate itself from this Haitian mess. The Haitians could then go directly to Brazil and Cayenne; they don’t have to come here.

Yours sincerely,
Paul Validum
