Prime Minister defends migration policy: Trinidad and Tobago comes first
Dr Keith Rowley
THE Prime Minister paraphrased a quote from US President Donald Trump to say Trinidad and Tobago citizens come first in TT, even amid a humanitarian policy to Venezuelan migrants, as he addressed Thursday’s post-Cabinet briefing at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s. Saying Trump has said the US Government’s first priority is US citizens, Dr Rowley said, “TT has the same position.”
He said TT has accepted 16,000 Venezuela migrants with brotherly love but had been falsely accused of causing the recent tragedy.
At length he denied TT had any hand in the recent drowning of a boatload of Venezuelans, saying Venezuelan (opposition) political activists were involved in protests at TT’s embassy in Caracas which had alleged the contrary. Saying the drowning victims had died in Venezuelan waters, he flatly rejected any claim that TT had violated their right to life.

Notes by Robert L Brown Share:
Stephen Denyer is Director of Strategic Relationships at The Law Society of England and Wales. He spoke to the International Committee of the Senior Lawyers Division on December 9, 2020 at its monthly meeting. The committee is chaired by Bob Lutz and Aaron Schildhaus.
Stephen emphasized his talk reflects his personal viewpoints. Later, he noted attorneys in England have lots of opinions on the topics he will discuss, and many are likely to be very different.
BREXIT unexpected but less impactful
He felt BREXIT was both unexpected and unwelcome for attorneys in United Kingdom (UK), with the vast majority of his contemporaries not seeing it coming. Nevertheless, he noted the arguments pro and con are over and done – the referendum was 4 years ago. Later he stated Brits are not fighting old battles. The train has left the station. BREXIT is happening, so UK must get on with circumstances as it
