As Mr. Cruz mentioned in some of his letters, leaders are just passing laws to make people see that they are working but in reality they are not.
To the leaders of Rota, I urge you to stop this habit of passing bills and then realize that they need to be amended again.
It’s better that leaders think of the livelihood of the people instead of creating laws to make the lives of the people more difficult.
Consider, for example, the Foreign Resident Status Act of 2008. I cannot understand this bill. We all understand that the U.S. Congress passed the federalization bill and now it’s U.S. Public Law 110-229.
What are we trying to do?
Not all people work in the private sector or the government and they depend on fishing knowing that they cannot use a gillnet (chenchulu) and the only net they can use is the talaya but if they don’t know how to use it then I believe that more of our people will line up for food stamps. Not all people like this because they know that they can provide food for their family by going fishing.
LIFT THIS LAW THAT RESTRICTS FISHING SO THAT OUR PEOPLE CAN LIVE BETTER. STOP THE CREATION OF LAWS THAT WILL MAKE OUR PEOPLE CONFUSED. MAKE LAWS THAT WILL BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY.
Don’t make the indigenous people suffer by passing laws for alien workers.
