No REAL BUSINESS person would go fifty fifty with their property and product.At least 5% should be reserved for the property’s repair/emergency and the produce can be shared eqully….TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT

well!!! if our resources will not allow us to be paid decent wages and salaries, then most certainly the Brazilians will ensure that they extract the minerals and live like KINGS. Who could blame them.Instead of running away the masses must show true GRIT and PROTEST for a decent living standard for ALL. Everyone has to be a part of the STRUGGLE. No one gives you anything; you HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR EXISTENCE, or face EXTINCTION.

I am with Yasuman71, Pastor what is happening in Barbados and other caricom countries is not the same as with the Brazilians in Guyana. Please, at no time try to equate the two. One provides services such as teachers, Nurses, Construction workers, domestic workers etc. all with the intention of earning a dollar and at the same time contributing to the development of the Country there reside in. The other does not contribute in any of the areas stated in the first but rather take and take and leave.

How many Brazilian Children are in Guyanese schools?

No one is tackling their status as immigrants as is the case in Barbados…we are not, at least not as yet, saying throw them out because they are illegal or broke the Immigration Laws what we want is for them to do is pay the royalties, pay their share of taxes, show good faith to the country that allow them to earn a living by adhering to the Laws of this country.

At present we don’t have an immigration problem but we do have a “Raping of Guyana” by Brazilian problem and something needs to be done.

Do we have the resources to monitor these illegal Brazilian miners? Unlike Guyanese in Barbados and other caricom countries, Brazilains do not contribute to this economy in anyway. There are not teacher’s, Nurses, Construction workers, domestic workers etc. They main focus is to rape this country of its precious minerals and leave. Freespeech tell me, How many Brazilains you know wants to live here? well the answer is zero.

So there is no tit for tat here.

I said in many times before, that the Brazilians are stealing our gold and destroying our environment. And to all of you who say leave them alone, I say do some research on this matter, then come back and BLOG.

sweetpea,and bajan girl, i do agree that being in a country illigally is breaking theats country’s laws (check my previous comments on the issue)and that country has a right to remove them, but the way in which barbados goes about doing it is wrong thats the point, for you sweetpea, guyana is large enough to accomodate i million brazilians, we have a vast uninhabited area that would accomodate at least 5 more added to the i million.

If Barbados thing they have a problem on their puny expatriate dependency island (if all expats leave,they are in poverty),they should try to imagine what Guyuana has to cope with here.They will in due course see how to really handle an immigration situation on a larger scale and with much more at stake, gold,and learn humility from Guyanese.

Guyanese should be 50% shareholders in any foreign mining venture. What is the government doing?

Investigate,BP? That option was not given when SN bagan its assassination of Barbados’character. The general consensus was to send the MV Esequibo down to Bridgetown and raise the Golden Arrow.
Ask Ricky Singh, Sir Shridath and Comton Bourne,Ralph Gonsalves , the Barbados Nation and SN among others how to deal with the influx of Brazilians.They had all the answers.

I forgot what we say about retribution, it is a what? Then they will know how it feels to be wearing the same shoe after Guyana is overrun by a couple hundred thousand or even one million illegal Brazilians. Look at the size of Brazil to Guyana. There are a lot more Brazilians than Guyanese too. LOL

Thank you Pastor Daniel Singh. I was just thinking the same thing. Guyanese have been lecturing Bajans for a long time now about “the right to migrate.” Now Brazilians are exercising their right to migrate to Guyana, some Guyanese have a problem with that. Imagine, blogger “tiger” said above that Brazilian miners are walking around Guyana as if they were born there. lol. Can you imagine if a Bajan said illegal Guyanese are walking around Barbados as if they were born there? Sigh

Pastor, you’re comparing piranhas to flying fish. The Guyanese in Barbados are poor workers earning a living by offering their labour power to Bajan employers. The illegal Brazilian miners are rapacious vultures exploiting Guyana’s natural resources and damaging its eco-system at an alarmingly increasing rate. Jesus would not like your cynicism, pastor.

President Jagdeo won’t do anything about illegal Brazilians in Guyana. During a speech he gave at the Caricom meeting, he mentioned that there are many Brazilians living in Guyana. He brushed off that fact by saying that migration is a fact of life. Guyanese who want anything done about illegal immigration in Guyana might as well stop wasting time worrying about it, because Jagdeo has no intention of addressing the issue. He is like Barbados’ former Prime Minister, Owen Arthur. He will allow the illegal alien population to swell at the expense of the locals, while he tries to present himself as a caring, non xenophobic fella. lol

How ironic! Listen to us. We were against the way illegals were being trated in Barbados, but we are doing the same to others? Do unto others as you would them do unto you?

Come on Guyana, you are lapsing here, unable to properly represent your citizens abroad from discrimination, now unable to protect the natural resources of the land from brazilian exploitation, sorry but its time to get your act together
