Trinidad Slams Door Shut on Trinis Stranded in Barbados

It has been reported the Trinidad and Tobago government through National Security Minister, Stuart Young has again refused to receive 33 CITIZENS stranded in Barbados since the week of March 23, 2020 back into the country.

The Barbados government attempted to piggyback on an arrangement with the European Union who sent a plane this week to collect Europeans stranded in the Caribbean. Barbados was the hub for the operation with the plane scheduled to pickup passengers in Tobago. It was an opportunity for the 33 stranded Trinidadians to bum a ride to Tobago which is a hop skip and a jump from Trinidad.

We are the only nationals in the world who are denied entry into our country. He said his countrymen who were mainly people over 65 all broke down in tears –Nationnews.com

What is the reason for the Trinidad government exercising this level of intransigence towards its citizens? There is no logical explanation if the consideration was taken that the stranded Trinidadians have been in quarantine in Barbados since April 8, 2020. It also puzzles why the Trinidad government would have sent COVID 19 test kits to Barbados this week costing USD2500.00 after the group was quarantined with the expectation existing protocol in Trinidad requires the group enter quarantine again IF they eventually are allowed to return to the land of birth. All rather strange.

The blogmaster is of the view the Rowley government is ‘pissed’ at the group for engaging in non essential travel. Rowley should expect to see this issue when he checks the rear view mirror come general election time.

The Trinidad government owns a regional airline for crissakes.

    DEAREST DARLING DONNA

    RE I actually think that children need more exercise and not necessarily less sugary drinks provided that they rinse their mouths afterwards to protect their teeth. The children nowadays are sedentary. That is not good for their physical development. That is what is making them fat,

    YOU ARE 100% CORRECT!
    ITS MAKING THE ADULTS FAT TOO

    She said, “If you were my husband I’d give you poison.”
    He said, “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.”

    A member of Parliament to Disraeli: “Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.”

    PS. Watched a Murdoch Mysteries episode yesterday featuring Churchill. He seems to have grown in stature by almost a foot. And he was quite handsome. At least he was still drunk. SMH.

    The EU states have CLOSED their borders.
    Yes they have!

    But what does this have to do with conditional border closures in the early days of the pandemic in Europe? In the early days, the borders were conditionally open. They were closed to non-native EU citizens coming from certain areas. E.g. Germany, Austria, Switzerland closed their border to those coming from Italy.

    Stop comparing apples and dunce. The Trinis entered Bdos with our borders open. They are not a burden to the state. They are Bajans and other Trinis stranded in other countries.
    +++++++++++++++
    Talk about apples to bananas, are those Bajans and Trini’s stranded in countries that were originally visited or are they stranded in countries because their country of citizenship refused to take them?

    Just for curiosity if a Bajan took a Caribbean Airlines flight to Barbados from North America and was routed through Trinidad at which point the Barbados Gov’t notified T&T “sorry our borders are closed they can’t land in Bim”. What do you think the T&T Gov’t would do?

    @Sargeant, we are all aware that as Caricom citizens our fellow nations under treaty CANNOT turn us back (funny enough, unless due to national emergency in that country)… we can travel to our neighbor’s without a visa and stay there for several months (6 I believe) unfettered. We can look for work there under CSME guidelines and can also seek residency.

    On what legals grounds therefore would TnT have to deny a Bajan citizen entry re your scenario?

    In normal circumstances or in one where maybe a riot erupted in Bim and we closed our borders to all flights?

    We are twisting this TNT issue into a weird pretzet!

    As Caricom citizens the Trinis were as entitled to stay here (as far as I understand the law) as they were to enter their own country…our “humanitarian” act was likely also a legally prudent one as otherwise we would be contra our treaty protocols.

    TnT HAD decreed a national emergency security threat and again as far I understand the statute that OVERRODE other legal protocols ….not saying they were RIGHT…. just saying Bdos was likely obligated to take in the Trinis whereas TnT’s decrees gave them the legal rider to refuse!

    @David is that truly accurate re “The Barbados government had the option to send the Trinis back to the UK or extend the humanitarian gesture that was offered. It is as simple as that.”

    Where is the Dean when you need legal advice or where are the other lawyers to put this to ‘rest’ as best as possible.

    Did Bdos truly have an OPTION in a non emergency situation , terrorist threat or other security concern to refuse entry to a Caricom national?

    Under Caricom treaties the answer appears to be: NO.

    This may sound weird but had we sent them back to England it seems to me that the Trinis would have a better case to sue Bdis for refusal to enter than their country of birth…echoes of the Myrie case.

    To quote the CCJ : In making its ruling, the Court held that Caribbean Community (CARICOM) nationals “are entitled to enter CARICOM Member States, without harassment or the imposition of impediment, and stay for up to six months.”

    That’s the law.

    Politicians say a lot of bunga-bunga. Myrie was awarded $75,000 in what I presume can be called “puntitive” damages for the stripe search indignity I imagine.

    The indignity of denying fellow Caricom nationals succor of life and limb due no fault (well not 100%) of their own seems more significant that a body cavity search.

    So I surmise that AG Marshall easily contemplated the possibility of eventually dealing with some variance of that award times 35… he can say whatever sounds pretty but I would find it astonishing that he would contravene such a clear and unequivocal recent CCJ ruling of inter island travel vis Caricom citizens and not expect to have lawyers lining up to sue the govt!

    @Greene, you are the lawyer not me. The CCJ ruling says Marshall’s remarks were NOT grounded in the reality of THAT Myrie precedent.

    If he had actual legal grounds to make his statement then I suspect we will never find out now, will we…. I can only go by what the law stipulates NOT sweets sounds from a lawyer’s mouth…

    Did you hear about the lawyer….

    ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
    WITNESS: No..
    ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
    WITNESS: No.
    ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
    WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
    ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
    WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.🤣

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Are you sure there isn’t some proviso to that 6 months right to stay?

    Isn’t there any requirement of proof of ability to support oneself or sponsorship by way of a place to stay at a legal resident or letter of guarantee from a potential employer during that period?

    If there is no requirement of proof to demonstrate the ‘visiting’ Caricom resident has the means of support to avoid being a dependant on or a ward of the host country then we can expect a wave of migration from tourism-dependent islands like Barbados to places like Guyana and T&T in the coming months as the Covid effects take their toll on the hospitality industry.

    Just hope those less tourism-dependent countries treat Bajans the way Bajans treated them in the recent past.

    It seems that the Mighty Chalkdust was indeed a prophet when he penned the calypso with those prescient words:

    ‘All Barbados got is sea water and sand.

    NO, of course Bim is NOT the only country in Caricom?… It just so happened to be the one the plane was transited through!… If they had gone to any other Caricom country who had NOT closed their borders then the same Myrie precedent would apply, in my view.

    Special circumstances have to be affirmed by new ruling first OTHERWISE the regular laws still apply…not so. A country nor its people can’t become LAWLESS because a virus says so… I cannot forcibly restrain a Chinese man who just arrived from Beijin and secure him in my basement to safeguard my community I will be arrested and thrown in jail…that is lawless folly… But If my govt legislates a special decree that all Chinese are to be interred as COVID carriers then I may (?) evade any police arrest… by saying I am carrying out a citizen arrest of that decree…not so!

    Bdos had at that time adopted no special decrees re COVID so can’t see the legal basis …to deny entry.

    @Mari, respectfully bro you said yday you didnt come to debate.. so tell me about : “However the 35 did not leave their place of destination with the intent of staying in Barbados but with a preference of returning to their homeland”

    How many times have you travelled and something affects your onward journey and requires you to stay where you are…I have had to overnight (and more) in locations through which I was only initially transitting …it happens!

    Regardless, however, in this case it’s irrelevant whether they were just in transit or not as they had A RIGHT as a Caricom national to stay!

    But not 4 wks because it is the airline responsibilty to get the immigrants out of the country and take them to desired destination
    Also if the immigrant chooses to stay longer than over night
    The immigrant has to abide by the rules and regulations of that country
    Not saying that Barbados should have been stern in not allowing the 33 in
    However saying that barbados could have taken a legal and constitutional approach which would have force Trinidad to take them
    Now TrinidAd is playing hard ball and has turned the cards on barbados by way of asking barbados for the 33 to be tested

    Why are some people using the regulation allowing entry by Caricom citizens for up to six months as a cover for the Barbados Gov’t’s action? The Trinidadians didn’t purchase a ticket to visit Barbados for recreation or business; wasn’t Barbados supposed to be an intransit stop not a final destination? Some folks will go to any length to try to save the Gov’t from having egg all over its face.

Is the Barbados government to be faulted for doing the right thing when the Trinidad government did the wrong thing????

    Trini carnival was feb 24-25
    Probably when the virus was brought into the island

    The 35 done their 14day and can be tested or do another 14 day in trini

    @Miller, re “Are you sure there isn’t some proviso to that 6 months right to stay?…Isn’t there any requirement of proof of ability to support oneself or sponsorship by way of a place to stay at a legal resident or letter of guarantee from a potential employer during that period?”

    I use my experience and reading of the regs as my guide … I do not and have not studied this in detail… So in general when you come in on a “tourist” visa the queries are where are u are and how long…if your visa validates that then off you go. Tourists or business travellers (both short stay) as a general rule are not queried on support etc…at least I never was in either scenario.

    So that 6 month duration is merely the guideline for authorities and passport regs etc…it technically has little to do with your immigration queries on arrival (ALL OTHER THINGS BEING IN ORDER, I add as a provisio).

    @Sargeant..the 6 months is the CARICOM TREATY PROTOCOL… it’s the law the islands agreed to live by…its NOT a “cover for the govt”. Its a binding OBLIGATION plain and simple… .the CCJ reaffirmed that and made a big able country pay money to a Jamaican who was refused entry for no good reason….. It’s the LAW!

    Now @Mari…yes you are right that in the scenario I described it likely was an airline issue and thus the burden is on them. What I was also highlighting is that of necessity I would have had a relevant tourist visa for that location. No need to prolix but those issues can be ticklish and as a business traveller you need to check carefully when you have to transit countries to get to a destination…. think of the preBrexit Schengen Area visa. Getting to Italy sent me through England …i didnt need a visa to transit or stop there but as I also detoured via Spain I needed a visa for that place too…because of the EU I didnt need a separate visa for Spain!

    A Trini has his built in Schengen visa too for Barbaods at al its his ‘caricom citizenship’ passport!

    Anyhow, then you go back into shady territory with … “However saying that barbados could have taken a legal and constitutional approach which would have force Trinidad to take them”

    I await still EXACTLY what that forecful approach could have been… As sands flow through the hour glass…so we await in vain Mari in our lives the real old folks would get that stupid riff, I hope 🤣…please enlighten and stop just saying the Bdos govt could…tell us in your view HOW!

    Everyone has a right to express his or her opinion on this issue. We could agree or disagree.

    But, in my opinion, I believe ‘government’ did what was morally correct.

    On April 29, 2006, a 20ft yacht carrying the bodies of 11 young men from Senegal, Guinea Bissau and Gambia, was discovered drifting off the coast of Barbados. Evidence revealed the men were on their way to the Canary Islands, when the yacht developed engine problems and was cut adrift in the Atlantic Ocean. They drifted for about 4 months and died from starvation and dehydration.

    Ten of victims were BURIED in Barbados in a joint Muslim – Christian ceremony.

    I know the circumstances with the Trinis and these men aren’t similar.

    But, if we did what could only be described as ‘morally correct,’ with our unfortunate Africans brothers……..

    ………. ‘cud dear,’ yuh mean all uh this ‘hullabuloo’ for assisting our ALIVE Trini brothers in CARICOM?
