Comrades is this the same republican Ros-Lehtinen who has defended former fugitive Velentin Hernández, convicted of murdering Luciano Nieves, a fellow Cuban exile who supported negotiations with the Cuban government? In the 1980s, Ros-Lehtinen lobbied for the release and pardon of Cuban exile Orlando Bosch, who had been convicted of terrorist acts and has also been accused of involvement in the 1976 bombing of Cubana Flight 455, which killed 73 people? PM Christie and Minister Freddy should place this woman on the "stop list," forever forbidding her nutty backside from ever visiting our Bahamaland, something she has never done. For until it served her own self-serving political interests, not the Cuban nationals, she could have cared less about the interests of what goes on in Bahamaland.

Ms go f yourself please talking fool

I'm surprised the Congresswoman can spare the time to be messing with Bahamaland's democratically elected government when she and her radical Tea Party cohorts are so damn busy with their old tricks of rising costs for seniors by ending Medicare guarantees, including her own fellow senior Cuban/Americans, all the while protecting tax breaks for her Republican millionaires and big corporations. Unfortunately, as nutty and politically self-serving as she is, it's still advisable for PM Christie to step in and quickly defuse the situation.

This woman does NOT speak for the US Government and it appears as if she, and likely her staff whom she relies upon, do not have the facts. In any event, while as a country we want to respect and honor the terms of international treaties on human rights, we simply do NOT have the resources to address the cost of caring for Cubans and others. That's the reality.

What about the Haitians and others detained in the Bahamas? It appears that the US Congresswoman seems partial only to the plight of Cubans. What does she have to say about the US Government routinely sending illegal Cubans back, many of whom may be crazy or criminals. Who wants them? I guess it's acceptable because it's the USA. Not so. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, regardless of size of country. Imagine if we relent and give in to these illegals coming to the Bahamas, the floodgates will be open and I can assure you that no country, not even the big bad USA, would give us a single penny to deal with them. Who pays for uninvited guests?

No Mariel boat lift here.

I surely hope we stand up and hold firm to not only refusing to meet with this big mouth uninformed US Congresswoman after running her big mouth and putting the cart before the horse just like a typical bullying American but that we keep on sending the illegals back regardless of where they come from. If they want change in their countries, it is not OUR headache. Let the people rise up and take their country back, then there will be no need for them to flee Cuba or where ever and it will NOT as it should not ever be, a problem for the Bahamas.

Who the heck does she think she is?

feel better ? bigger ? now that you have generalized everyone in the U/S ..is Obama a "typical bullying American "?? Do you realize that through the U/S presidents directive at the state department 400,000 americans visited Cuba last year through the cultural exchange program ..Next time you go to Ft Lauderdale look at the ads featuring direct flights to Cuba for americans ,,the tour company pulls the permit under the cultural exchange program .. Are you also aware that our stopover numbers have not rebounded since the recession while the DR ,Jamaicas and TCI have increased .,.I don,t think spewing derogatory comments at 90% of our visitors and our very lifeblood really helps our number one industry ,,, although it may make you feel special ..........
