I have a few ideas!

What a bunch of horse shite! Why do we pretend so much in this country? Everyone and his uncle knows even the good minister himself knows that the crux of the problems lies within his own department. The department is corrupt to the core! Stop allowing your team to catch illegals then release them once they can pay a couple thousand dollars. Ilegals are not afraid of immigration because they know they can be bought. Grab a pair of nuts and put your foot down! Do you job then you can come to the people to ask for their cooperation. The time has passed when officials can spoot out a bunch of empty talks and think that the people are impressed! Oh and by the way, the Tribune investigative staff sucks!!!

ah, he was out of the stagelight lately. Welcome back. Couldn't stomach being not in the public's eye? So here is how 99% of the developed world countries work: 1. get the job done and 2. communicate after, unless you need more funds allocated by the Parliament to get the task done. Here in the Bahamas, it is all talk, and talk and talk. Nothing will happen.

I would not want to see how the detention center's conditions are. Any pictures?

If "the government" were really intent on solving this problem they know full well what should be done. From prosecution of smugglers, boat captains can be identified if everyone is arrested and prosecuted (the migrants will give them up if they themselves are subjected to fines and jail time); "Bahamian" employers prosecuted, abolishment of the policy (or Constitutional amendment) which grants "citizenship" at 18 even for "illegals". Undercover operations in Haiti and the Bahamas to identify all those involved in smuggling including Bahamian officials. Proper finger printing and documentation of those apprehended, and showing respect and concern for people in general. If we did care, we'd do what was necessary to end this modern day slavery-like servitude.

This system is corrupt to the bone. Some people in high places are being paid sweet dollars for all this smuggling and our Government is powerless or choose to remain powerless to stop it. We are the laughing stock of this hemisphere. We might as well just open the fri__n borders and let them come in. They coming in anyhow.

And this Minister is full of hot air. How many times must we read that they are "about to put measures in place.....yada, yada yada". I say stop the talking and do something that we can see and not hear!

No PLP can riles them Comrade reds more to go running up to Cooper's Town for they's Papa Hubert's return than when Minister Freedy announces that drastic measures may have to be taken to stop the “revolving door” of immigrants (mostly Haitians) who are repatriated only to quickly return to the country illegally. The red's leadership is done on the phone, summing a return of Haiti's President to once again rally he troops for the reds, come 2017. Hey you red shirts, the Haitian President's "unofficial visit" strategy backfired on your Papa in 2012 or did you forgets? Too many reds listening to that Creole Talk Show airing every night on that Creole Guardian Radio, but at same damn time are tuning out what Bahamalander's does really think them and they Papa Hubert.

Now you know that is balony. Both the FNM and PLP pander to the Haitian element.

Hubert Ingraham is the most powerful Haitian in the Bahamas. Is he also the mastermind behind illegal Haitian smuggling?

We are already overrun by Haitians. Go anywhere except long Island and you will hear people speaking Creole. In Abaco I would say that there are more people of Haitian decent than Bahamian. Here in Nassau, if you live in the city most school age children speak passable Creole as they want to fit in. The politicians give these people citizenship for their vote, I know that for a fact, seen it with my own two eye's in the past. Bahamians have sold out their own country and when their children are forced out by the Haitian, Bahmians are the ones to blame! We are just smart like that!

Most Bahamians know that the Bahamas Government sends the illegals back on the plane and they come right back on the boat. if they get pass the Defence force on Monday the children will be in the school, the women will be in the hospital giving birth. and the men will go to work. and if they stay long enough the government will give them Citizen ship so why not come.? They are coming to stay with their family members who are already here.

Mitchell is a flaming jackass. After 41 years of lip service PLP and FNM continue rattling sabers and doing nothing tangible about the Haitian invasion.

The proof is undeniably evident that PLP and FNM policies greatly encourage illegal Haitians and others to come.

Illegal Haitians have more rights in the Bahamas than they do in Haiti at the expense of tax paying Bahamians. There are no free schools and medical care in Haiti.

Haitians hate Bahamians and openly disrespect our country. Why the hell should we pay to care for them?

Now this jackass PLP government is heaping VAT tax on the shoulders of poor Bahamians to pay for illegal Haitians?

We already have no jobs, our power is off, our phones are off, our water is off, we are losing our homes, we are losing our business's, we are losing our cars, we cannot afford medical bills and cannot access government medical care because of dam stinking Haitians.....HELL NO!

Where are the disincentives for Haitians to enter the country illegally?

Where are the laws punishing people for hiring illegals? Why are illegals allowed to enroll children in our school system free of charge without fear of immigration followup on weather their parents/guardians are legally here? Why are pregnant illegals allowed to clog our hospitals and clinics with no fear of deportation?

Haitians are dragging our country down to Haiti's failed state level with the full blessing of government who plan to grant citizenship to thousands of them in exchange for votes in the next general elections.

Go to hell Mitchell and take your big head chief idiot Perry Christie with you.

Dr. Andrea Rollins is 100% correct. The country is in desperate need of new leadership as the jackass leaders we have now are NOT REPRESENTING the will of Bahamians!
