•Well we already have an influx of Chinese, Guyanese, Nigerians and deportees coming in. Just saying.

•We all know Rowley bringing them here to vote PNM but Trinidad importing food many people don’t have jobs or homes. What you think will happen????? Is more crime.

•Sadly we have become quite a selfish, self-centred society. We will not lend a hand to our physical neighbour much less our Caribbean neighbour. I pray God change our hearts of stone.

•Sweep your doorstep before you sweep somebody’s else. Trinidad is so over crowded already. Where are you putting all the people coming? There goes the mountains.

•Maybe it’s time for us to start back discussions about a united Caribbean.

•Trinidad can’t get housing but he want to bring outsides and give them accommodations. Take care of your people first.

•South America already crossing the border illegally, now bring Commonwealth legally for 6mths...Come on!! And open yuh pots too! Is this a leader or follower?? What a Joke!!

•Rowley can’t take care of the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago but he opening doors to other people. He is stupid.

•Could we go and set up business in China, India, Dominica, Guyana, Venezuela...No...so what are we encouraging here for...no wonder so much people seeing trouble...

•I hope the other countries would say the same things about Trinis going to their countries. Trinis are the most racial and meanest people in the world.

•A lot of you guys forgot that your families were “islanders” before. Some of you also are bigots and racist this is your small minded thinking? Sad

•Is more crime in the country when they come here. Employment down. What they will do to survive? The easiest way is to kidnap people steal people cars, rob people, thief and kill people... It is a form of employment here in sweet T&T. Lord put ah hand•The people in TNT getting more frighten now...within this 6 months the whole of Dominica will reach in TnT...

•This is not Europe and America. This is Little Trinidad. Fix your people as a country before you extend your kind courtesy.

Education Minister Anthony Garcia says the logistics and other aspects of accommodating students from hurricane-ravaged Dominica will be worked out at a meeting with Chief Education Officer Harrilal Seecharan and the Permanent Secretary. He made the comment yesterday as stakeholders raised concern about the ability of the nation’s schools to accommodate more students.

Garcia, a former educator, recalled that in 2004 when he was principal at Fatima College, he allowed students from Grenada to attend school there “and it went well.” If there are challenges this time around “we will overcome them,” he said, because the objective is to ensure the students “get an uninterrupted education.”

Prime Minister Keith Rowley’s call for nationals of Dominica to live in TT for six months is not a blanket call for every Dominican to seek refugee status here, but is limited to those who have family or friends here willing and able to accommodate them, Planning Minister Camille Robinson-Regis said yesterday.

To date, more than 2 tonnes of donated food items have been delivered to Dominica by the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard (TTCG) while 14,000 pounds of relief supplies have been flown in by the National Helicopter Services Limited (NHSL).
