Vexing Venezuelan questions

THE EDITOR: What is expected of the government and people of this country regarding Venezuelan asylum-seekers?

Does having a certificate from the office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees mean that one can remain forever in TT, no questions asked? You cannot be deported? Do we have to provide three meals, accommodation and employment while these Venezuelan refugees await transitioning to a better life?

So where do we put them to live? Which hotel? The Hilton or the Hyatt? How many of them and for how many years?

So is Trinidad and Tobago supposed to be one huge specially-designed refugee camp for Venezuelans? Should we, the citizens, stay silent? Accept castigation from any and every ignorant, self-centred Venezuelan activist?

Will TT face being blacklisted by the UN?

And what about poor TT citizens who may be facing similar personal problems? Who is supposed to come first? Us or them?

I am just asking.
