From next Friday, undocumented immigrants will be able to start the process of registering to work legally in Trinidad and Tobago. Adult applicants will be required to pay $700, and those who fail to register will face immediate deportation.

The decision was made by Cabinet yesterday and announced by Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander at the post-Cabinet news briefing.
