Comrades! A real illegal immigration enforcement or hypocrisy in its purest form bullshi@ red talk, has asks because when imigration officers under former immigration minister Freddy showed up at a certain workplace location to search for illegals - the then Her Majesty's Official Opposition party blasted the action by immigration officers whilst wearing their 'red shorts' how dare you.
Talking is not believing when this government knows but is unwilling to provide the public with the total number of illegals in the country...it shouldn't take eye surgery to read the numbers if the number of illegals are 80,000, or is it 180,466?
Can the PM and Immigration minister, assure the public that any 'red shorts' MP, Senator or Serving Board Member or Government Official found employing even one single illegal that they will be immediately dealt with FIRED?

‘In the first sort of couple months we deported 2,800 immigrants and $2,500 of them were to Haiti ‘. That alone must have cost a million dollars. And with the Bahamas economy expected to rebound, the numbers will definitely increase. Especially since Donald Trump has warned them not to come to the US. So what can be done to make the Bahamas less attractive or less accessible to illegals. If 2,500 can reach here in a matter of months, how many are actually leaving the coast of Haiti and how many are being lost at Sea? What agreement or efforts are being made with Haiti to discourage Haitians leaving. Doesn’t the US still have several billion in aid that was supposed to go to Haiti and wasn’t Hundreds of millions already stolen o squandered in Haiti. Should the Bahamas start using its diplomatic ties to ensure Haiti gets these funds and assistance in growing its economy or is Haiti still blacklisted from the treaty it made with France over 100 years ago?

I keep telling you DNAs that yinna need to "up ya game" from this stupidity like you talking here! "They een tell me what's the fine". . .you complained! What wrong with ya own dang eyes them? "Yoon know ha ta go look fer ya own information aye". . .it right there 'WHERE ALL THE OTHER LAWS" them are man! Go carry ya intellectually lazy backside and find out fer ya own sef! You gatta-be kidding us man/woman!

Comrades, in this story is the BS line you need really pay attention to..... Send Illegals Home By End Of This Week. We shall went to see who the 'so on and so forth' are that will be leg ironed to do da Bank Lane shuffle? Is the government prepared to arrest their own in the House and Senate, including family members and business associates, if caught employing even one illegal? I say smells cow manure!

Reminds me not to go east of the airport for the next few months. Unless Brent is lying, the traffic jams at the Immigration road-blocks are going to be of historic proportions.

I beg to differ. . .new sheriff and he merry men are effecting a new approach. . .they een bothering with them road blocks too much because they tend to get messy especially when lawyer Smith "see" an opportunity to carry on like Yosemite Sam and make a fool of our bungling officials! These new merry men are picking up with no real "rush" to "rundown" peoples. . .they are focusing on the job. . .a strategy we all always knew must be enacted to get any real impact. . .no job. . .less are the illegals on the streets in the morning times during rush hour!

All talk and nothing more. Just like the bogus threats made by Minnis to MPs who failed to file their required financial disclosure reports.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH bouy. . .can somebody gee these DNAs on brain to share among "theysef"! This country is going through trying times and these Andros Yard Chickens them talking fool! Let the government make its efforts and if they are to just "swing" us. . .then lets get on they backsides. . .

Comrade Sweet Baby Jesus, we is warm bodies over allowable capacity, so how can we not loosen our minds to Sandilands unless we lose 90,000 warm bodies in population before the 2022 general election from the 299,800 jammed into Nassau Town’s 7 miles wide by 21 miles long, a colony of islands with the unique distinction of having once had a pirate as our chief magistrate, a former king of England as we governor who was bedding with another married man’s wife, and a reformed bootlegger as we first premier - was never intended house over two thirds Bahamaland’s entire legal and illegal population alongside millions tourists. {You just can’t make up such a colorful exactly who and what we are history}.

How the Bahamas intend to fund mass repatriations has never been publically discussed. Either we're going to finally implement measures be taken seriously by these people about this or not.

One solution is to fine anyone caught hiring illegals the equivalent cost of repatriating at least 10 illegals. Secondly, among other deterrent measures, individuals found illegally gainfully employed should have all unlawfully gained income, valuables etc' confiscated by the state.

This whole illegal repatriation initiative can be made self-funding if we have the political will as the Dominican Republic displayed in resolving their Haitian invasion dilemma. Being nice and overly concerned about humane treatment has proved a total failure. It is time to remove the gloves, ignore the human rights activist, and do what works in the best interest of our country and people.

You are going about it the wrong way. You don't fine the poor immigrant working for starvation wages. That is pointless. He has nothing. Fine the problem: the BAHAMIAN employer profiting from his labour. He is the one making money and he is the one with the money.

You fine both because they both broke the law. The government is not a charity or church organization and shouldn't be operating like one.

A breath of fresh air . . .they always knew this was the master strategy for halting the growing problem of illegals working in this country! Yes I agree the "lil" poor man is not the major problem. . .he/she is being "used" too. . .greedy people using them for their own gain. . .paying no benefit mandated by law for fair labour. . .carrying home all the grave while the undocumented person "get catch" and sent back home with an empty pocket!

Someone asked about the Government tender M.V. Eastore that back in the day - used to transport hundreds of Haitians back home ........ Maybe Loftus Roker can tell us what happened to the Eastore ......... Now that we have the new RBDF boat Lawrence Major ......... that can take back thousands each week ......... Just fill the new Eastore to the brim and shackled them on deck and send their illegal asses back to Haiti ........ Please do not waste time getting all other illegals as well from the Chinese to the Latinos.

So how much does it cost to send a Chinese back home to China. And what is the process? Let’s suppose there’s a racket going on where Chinese are smuggled into the country. They work for 3-4 years and now the employer wants to get rid of them. He owes them several thousand dollars. So immigration comes into the picture, determines the person is illegal and deports them at the expense of the Bahamian tax payers. In the main time the person who smuggled them here got four years labor from them just paying their room and board. Now government has to foot the expense of repatriating them. Then the cycle starts all over again going on year after year.

There is a serious human smuggling operation going on in The Bahamas with the USA ......... Bahamians get paid to smuggle all nationals to the USA from Abaco, GB and Bimini ...........The cases are there in the public domain.

And while Donald Trump is still gabbling about building a wall on the Mexican boarder do you know 80-90% of crops in California andyhe South West States are being harvested by illegal Mexican immigrants? They cross the border during the planting season then most of them go home and return for the harvesting.Why isn’t immigration rules enforced against farmers and illegals workers? Well from time to time farms are raided and farmers get small fines. But the economics of blocking these migrant workers completely or hitting farmers with heavier fines will send food prices through the roof.

YOU NEED TO GO AND RESEARCH THE "DAY WORKER" PHENOMENON IN THOSE INDUSTRIES AND YOU WILL SEE THAT HIRING ILLEGAL WORKERS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ALLOWED BY ICE OFFICIALS. . .THE DAY WORKER CONCEPT WAS STARTED BY CONTRACTORS WHO ARE CONTRACTED TO PROVIDE LABOUR FOR FARM OWNERS. . .OWNERS WILL NOT TOUCH ILLEGAL WORKERS WITH A TEN FOOT POLE. . .ICE WOULD MASH THEM TO POWDER!

Agreed. However, Industries don't hire illegals, Industry hires companies to provide shift workers and those companies hire illegals.
I just read an article about this in the slaughter house industry.

Correct. . .they pick up the day worker from beside the road and have them back by quieting time and the illegal workers just "fade" back into the population like a ghost and don't reappear until needed next morning! ICE knows that contractors can easily say: " I just need a few day workers. . .no need to check for IDs. . .a small thing even if ICE gets rough with them. . .the farmer stays in the clear!

Speaking of Mexicans and the American southwest: Many years ago I remember either hearing or reading that the late President Lyndon B. Johnson had informally agreed with the sitting Mexican president at the time to go easy on the border crossing enforcement rules since Johnson understood that with the rapid rate of population increase in Mexico and the level of government corruption, there had to be some sort of "pressure relief valve", if you will, to reduce the risk of another Mexican Revolution similar to or more destructive than the one that started in 1911.
Also, keep in mind that the border between those two countries moved quite far north after the Mexican-American War of 1846-1847.

It moved south. . .TX, CA, NA. . .Mexico was pushed out of those states as they were annexed by renegade Americans until the US government made those lands a part of the continental USA! Remember Santa Anna and the Alamo? The Texans were deep into Mexico and captured the Alamo.

Please allow me to correct my earlier comment: The border between the U.S. and Mexico moved quite far SOUTH after the Mexican-American War of 1846-1847.

Comrades, Our Jamaican Cousin Preaches Hope!
