Dear Editor,
If the 13 Jamaicans who were sent back from Trinidad by immigration authority have legitimate cases they should have sought the help of their embassy in Trinidad and contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade on their return. They instead chose to come to your newspaper for photo ops and a story. Now Opposition MPs and other political activists have begun calling for the boycott of Trinidad-made imported goods.
This whole scenario comes on the heels of the excellent work done by the Government of Jamaica in handling the Shanique Myrie case, with the Caribbean Court of Justice coming to our shores for a part of the trial.
This all seems key to this orchestrated campaign against Caricom unity.
