Marie Helen Bruce said her family survived the quake in the town of Carrefour, where half the buildings collapsed, including theirs. Read the rest here http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=161585450

The Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Wednesday that it held no position on allowing Haitians into Trinidad on humanitarians grounds.

It was a matter for the National Security Ministry, the Express was told, but the National Security Minister has no power to grant such entry, according to the Immigration Act.

Folly writ large.

Do we have a Foreign policy on anything??.....

[Queen Macoomeh]

Eric Williams once said that T&T's foreign policy was to have none - concentrate on the homeland. (I'm paraphasing).

20 years ago she left her daughters?

Dat eh true.

De UNC Government did let een thousands a Guyanese when dem was in power.  It couldn't be based on nutten else dan humanitarian grounds needahh.

PNM under Eric did let een thousands of small islanders...grenadian, vincy, etc fuh de same reasons.  Plenty of Laventille is dem chirren.

Now de REAL reason in both cases was voter padding...but humanitarian grounds sound better.

National Security Minister Martin Joseph is being asked to exercise his power and allow the children of a Haitian-born woman living in Trinidad to be accepted here on humanitarians grounds.

The two daughters of Marie Helen Bruce survived the earthquake that destroyed much of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince two weeks ago. Since then, they have been living in a tent on a street outside the family’s collapsed home in the town of Carrefour.
