MP Charles: Review migrant policy, lock down borders Rodney Charles - NAPARIMA MP Rodney Charles has the solution to TT's Venezuelan illegal migrant crisis: effectively and completely lock down the country's borders. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, he said: “Once our borders are locked down, people will not leave Venezuela, they would not risk it because they know they are going to be stopped. A UNC government would have handled this thing scientifically. It would have been data driven. It would be fact based and tied in to our absorptive capacity.” He called on Government to seek regional and global support for a well thought out migrant/refugee policy – one that is humane, consensually developed, recognises international treaty obligations, TT’s absorptive capacity and national security concerns.
