Deportees-inevitable was written all over them

(Kaieteur News) – It was just a matter of when. From where they hail. Then, how many of them. Last, what kind of undesirables. They go by the name of ‘deportees’, third country nationals. From the moment the first word of a destination for deportees from the U.S. came up, I considered it a done deal, as guaranteed as inevitable. At the heart of this is a captive and prostrate PPP Govt that just doesn’t have the masculine equipment to say a loud NO to the Americans. Not here! Not with the troubles that Guyana has.

Not with local difficulties that have proven to be intractable and insoluble for over six decades. Of course, every Guyanese that can boast of a Nursery level education had a sense that none of that was being said by the PPP Govt. What and get on the wrong side of the White House? Not a chance, when retention of power is of such crucial importance; when America holds the key. Especially with WIN Mohamed nipping at the heels, and likely to become more of a chameleon that plays to his strengths, and keeps his PPP Govt adversaries (former bosom pals) on edge.
