In 2006 Barbados was quite hostile to Guyanese.
1. These Guyanese clearly had to have been present in large numbers in Barbados prior to 2006.
2. Barbados would NOT be tossing out teachers and nurses given that these people were specifically recruited into Barbados mainly to work in gov't owned institutions and had work permits.
3. I draw attention to the fact that the CSME rules in force in 2006 were limited to professionals and to people in managerial and supervisory positions. Please outline how many Guyanese would have had professional, managerial or supervisory expertise to work in the tourist industry. Clearly then the Guyanese in Barbados UNDER CSME would have been there in OTHER occupations, the largest being in teaching and nursing!
Prof druggie does not accept your weak explanations. You have not presented the evidence of CSME rules in 2006 that restricted Caricom residents to only "skilled". Also like a sub rate student like d2, you missed this in the article you referenced:
How could they be there illegally if the prime minister acknowledges below? :
"If it were not for Guyanese labourers in this country doing work that Barbadians no longer seem to want to do, agriculture would have collapsed." Prime Minister Owen Arthur is fond of saying.
In addition you missed this, go Argue with Arthur, no credit for you this marking period:
He suggested that Barbadians were double-counting Guyanese immigrants because many of them were on short-term working contracts.
