Explain the crackdown on Chinese

There is, therefore, no need to suddenly start harassing those found here illegally without a proper explanation from the authorities.

The problem should be dealt with in a pragmatic and humane manner.

There is no doubt we have a large number of undesirable immigrants from all over the world flocking to this country as we have now universally been tarnished with the brush of tolerated corruption and uncontrollable crime, which attract all types of criminals.

Perhaps these particular Chinese immigrants are here to reinforce a bunch of local criminals. This, however, seems very unlikely and perhaps their motive is to try to seek employment and be a success as their countrymen have already achieved here.

Having said that, we must not forget that Trinidad has become a haven for criminals from all over the globe.

Whatever the reasons for the sudden crackdown on these Chinese immigrants, the public should be informed in order to uphold the reputation of those legally settled here.
