Well done Mr. Mitchell!!!

This is a sad situation especially as kids are involved, The kids are probably afraid, their parents ran away, adults are visibly upset and "police officers" are taking them someplace they don't know. **But** I don't see anyone being mistreated.

The parents are here illegally. Everyone knows illegal entry into any country results in deportation. Ignoring the illegal immigration problem has led us to where we are today with really serious health threat on our hands.

Wide use of outside toilets in these immigrant communities could lead to a disease outbreak. I'm constantly concerned about the possibility of the Ebola virus getting into some water system and being here in perpetuity. I learned this weekend that Ebola infected individuals in the US are not allowed to flush toilets before their waste is treated. What happens if an Ebola infected person shows up in one of these shanty towns? What happens when their waste seeps into the ground and mixes with God knows what water system?

In terms of disease spread, Ebola is probably the least of our concerns. Something has to be done. Too many illegal immigrants are flooding here. They have obviously been given the message that with enough bribes they can find work and a place to stay.

Please don't ease up Mr. Mitchell and kudos to our hard working immigration officers who carried out their duties in an efficient and respectful manner especially in dealing with the children. Those illegal parents who ran off and left their children should be the first ones deported! Trying to put the blame of abandoning their children on our people, hell to the no!

This is the most sensible thing the Government has done since election. I think we are finally getting somewhere. My only issue is with how long it took. They let it fester too long. Lots of illegals are entrenched in our country and do not want to go back home and are desperate enough to try anything. By the way, this is how they did it in the past. Leave the children with the hope that the country would retain them (especially if they are born here) to ensure that they still get what they came for - a better life - even if it's for their children. Sad.

Many Haitians send their children alone with friends or guardians to the Bahamas in search of a better life.

Unfortunately these children are now caught between a rock and a hard place because their parents decided it was worth the risk.

This is a most regrettable circumstance. However, Bahamians are not the cause and cannot be held accountable for these children's dilemma.

We must leave emotion out of the equation, understand the situation for what it is, and deal with the facts of the matter accordingly.

The bottom line is, these illegal "little darlings" will not remain children for very long. They will require healthcare, protection, education, social services and one day jobs and add to illegal activities, further exasperating an already out of control explosive situation that WILL AFFECT INDIGENOUS BAHAMIANS as long as they are allowed to remain in our country.

It is unfortunate for them, but not of our doing or problem. Send the illegal children back to Haiti where they belong.

LOl you cold now. You sayin send them back in such a nice way...KML But I hear what you sayin

“calmness and equanimity” , These idiots in the HOA do know that the grade average in the Bahamas is D, right? What ASSHOLES!

It is sad that this NEEDS to be done. It is very hard to say but... Good job Mr. Mitchell! Boy, I never thought I would say that.

Lol. Me either!

We dont need calm .. we need the friggin illegals GOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE

Sad to say, but I don't imagine these raids continuing on a consistent basis. I would bet my bottom dollar that someone from the top will soon interject sayin, "Now be careful Freddie boy. Ya don wan upset too much a dese people in the Haitian community, cause ya know we gon need dey votes." After which, the saga will continue...............

This is a Cabinet decision. Fred just got his marching orders and is the front man on this. I applaud the Government's efforts and now that they are finally dealing I for one will not be pessimistic.

Really now, how in hell can you Comrades be so damn concerned about immigration officials leading children away, and by all accounts carried out in a caring and respectful manner, but never said a damn word to these same parents when they risked the very lives their own little children placing them aboard overcrowded sailing sloops with no toilets, little food and water and in some cases children, along with adults, have drowned during the unsafe voyages from Haiti into Bahamaland's waters. Enough is enough - stop fixings your mouths on that Guardian Creole Talk Show, telling Bahamalander's how they are suppose to treat you. The Comrade Owners of Guardian Radio should be embarrassed for their actions. Did you get your Broadcasting License from President Haiti? How crazy is this?

Child, Tal you can't tell these people nothing. They been feeding themselves lies for years. Lies about their right to citizenship at birth and lies about how we treat them. Unfortunately, this is what happens when you let such issues fester too long. People develop a sense of entitlement. They are now in a tailspin because we have been talking the talk for years and never got around to actually walking the walk. Remember a drowning man will clutch at a straw. But don't pay any attention to it. We need to just forge ahead and stick together as authentic citizens and get our country back.

Social Service need to swoop in on these Bahamians homes now where the mothers leaving their children home alone to go clubbing etc. Not only immigrants leave small children unattended.

The issue here is illegals. Let's not get it confuddled with what other people are doing.
