Gya: Multiculturalism has limits

THE Government is moving to launch a campaign against trafficking in people to Guyana and the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security will be leading the effort.
...
"Anecdotal evidence suggests that trafficking in persons may be taking place in Guyana. The extent and the impact would be part of ongoing studies into the social aberration," he said.

He reported that the Ministry of Labour, Human Services and Social Security has been tasked with generating a national strategy and implementing this to combat trafficking in people.

The President noted that while the Government remains hospitable to citizens of other countries, the administration is working to implement regulations to monitor the irregular movement of people into Guyana.

According to the Head of State, Guyana is open to visitors, but there is a limit to what can be tolerated. He noted that often foreigners bring with them varying cultures and behaviours, and in some instances, this is not good for Guyanese.

Consequently, President Jagdeo disclosed that the government was seeking assistance from the United States administration on a law to deal with the trafficking of people in Guyana.

The legislation being looked into will prioritise forced prostitution and forced labour, especially among children, it reported.
When will the Bush administration move to take action against the "irregular movement of people" at the U.S. borders?

The Bush administration is warning Americans to expect a terrorist hit before the November 2 presidential election. However, constant repetitions of such a warning by NSA Condoleeza Rice and President Bush himself will not be enough if terrorists are found to have infiltrated through the southern border, and that is because the administration is perceived as failing to do anything to stem the tide of illegal immigrants into the U.S. via Mexico. What can prevent President Bush from being re-elected? A terrorist attack made possible by illegals coming in through the U.S.-Mexicana border.
