Naive people still exist! What can we do to open the eyes of people like these? It's so sad. I feel sorry for the people of Lethem, especially Mrs. Foo, for falling into this false doctor’s hands.

Well Chavez should be in charge won't you say? after all he is your President. Relevance to Doctor QuackDuck is another story. My question to you, now that the new Takutu River Bridge is opened and linking Brazil to Guyana, does it open the flood gates to the illegal drug trade with South American countries, may I suggest Honduras as an example?. The 'Good Doctor' came a long way to set up shop in Lethem. After acquiring British smarts, he should have chosen Georgetown. There is suspect here, because he choses Lethem. It is strategically on the Brazilian border. Skipping across the border back and forth with illegal drugs might be his motive. Dennis am assuming that you live in Boa Vista.

However, Mrs Foo's acted purely in good faith and had only the Community's interest at heart. Yes, she problable could have done a little more probing into the "Mr Rodriques" back ground but knowing Guyana/Lethem as well as I do,the frustration and limitaion for the small man to thoroughly research with the facilities available in Guyana much less a place as remote as Lethem, it is not surprising that Mrs Foo decided to go ahead and hope for the best. The big question here however, is where was the Regional Authority in all this...Sounds to me like they (Regional Executiive health officer, Immigration Head, etc...) fell asleep at the wheel or perhaps, simply a matter of gross incompetence on their part.

I don't see anything wrong with what Mrs. Foo did. All she did was to rent her place to an individual for him to live and to carry-on business. My problem is with the authorities in Lethem. Aren't these people in Lethem supposed to check with the authorities in Georgetown to make sure the credentials checked out before giving clearance to this guy to practice medicine? How can you let someone, let alone a stranger to just come and set up a medical practice without first having him checked out. There are no checks and balance in place.

According to you, Barbados is a paradise. You have good healthcare, housing, transportation etc. Let me ask you a question? How come Barbados is such a paradise and I ended up with a Bajan grandfather? I'll tell you why. When Barbados was nothing but a dot in the Caribbean, the locals there and in many other small islands around was finding it difficult to find work. Guess what? they all left in search for work. Where did they end up, beautiful Guyana. They came and settled in, many of them with no documentation. It was so bad in Barbados, my grandfather came by banana boat never to return. Guyana was thriving with industries, bauxite, sugar, rice just to name a few. I can go on and on. So Mr. Wiggins, please, don't cuss our country or our people. You will find crime where ever you go, and your country men are not exempt. Now Wiggins, you’re making me upset. obviously you are not listening to yourself or you don’t know your history.

New Jersey is not the United States! I hope you understand the difference between state and federal laws and agencies. That might have been done in New Jersey but I am quite sure there are illgals there that have not been picked up but continue to pay their taxes each year having been given an ITIN number. My point is there is not the sharing of information between federal agencies as we may seem to think. Had there been that sharing and cross checking, ITIN numbers would not have been given to illegal aliens. Yarrow, you must be mistaken. New Jersey is not the United States!
