" it cannot be misused to spread propaganda, create hysteria and perpetrate deliberate inaccuracies to accomplish a specific agenda"
I wonder who determines this?
Human Rights, Who needs them anyway? All those Chinese nationals seem happy except for the ones in jail. Look at Russia, great country to live in, as long as you keep your mouth shut. We should trust our leaders implicitly, they have always been totally honest and honourable, none have ever done anything corrupt or told a lie. Human Rights, Who needs them? Well. me for one.

Excellent and crystal clear, Mr. Bethel!! Perhaps Government should make up posters and banners outlining Bahamian sovereignty and sing it from the roof tops! It is high time the guests and nationalized residents in our country treat it with respect.

Fred Smith is a joke! The Haitians are not fools..do you really think the illegals will walk our streets openly and challenge our immigration officers about some misguided rights lol. The only thing we need to do when they are caught is to treat them humanly

*Repost:* This is what happens when we, the Bahamian people, have a feckless Minister of Immigration (Symonette) and even more feckless PM (Minnis). The pandering by our politicians to voters of Haitian descent, the vast majority of whom acquired Bahamian citizenship through illegal means of one kind or another, must stop. The Haitianization of the Bahamas is our number one imminent national security threat and Minnis (and Symonette) seem quite willing to ignore this most obvious fact notwithstanding the horrible plight it poses for all other 'true' Bahamians.

I agree. The bullsh** has to stop. This administration is looking to be a one-term administration. Immigration will be the death of it because I promise the first party that runs on a campaign to fix it will get my vote.

Ma Comrade DDK, consistently this Imperial red government does knows how urge on the loyalists among us to call for the return our islands simpler life days when but a colony. I bet far too many have forgotten how sungs the song words to Rule Britannia.
God save our Queen across the pond.
Comrades, this Independence thing might not have turned out for all she promised, of course the politicians from both major political parties seems have their knickers caught up in it..... wealth wise... Since Independence have you ever seen such a richer bunch men's of all colours sitting up in House?

Rule Britannia (with da sung's words)

Are you advocating that we beg forgiveness and return to Dominion status as Bermuda or GC? Because if so, it is the first sensible thing I have read from you :)

Ma Comrade OldFort2012, all I know is a Queen's Counsel under colony would have known what are the rules regarding signatures on contracts? The shadiness surrounding some signature seems not attract attention this AG, as much as some human rights pamphlet?
Whatever happened to colonial days when the key importance of the signature affixed agreement was proof that an offer has indeed been considered and accepted. by ya government? How much more this agreement FAKE?
Fact, is the public has not a clue if a widening switcheroo took place, or if material facts contained HOA might have been altered, deleted or changed before it made its way floor House.
We the public does certainly not trust the actions this messy Imperial red government.
To the credit PLP AG, she did launch an investigation into allegations made against then minister V. Alfred. I think we're beyond mere allegations of a signature switcheroo?

There are a LOT of things which would NOT have happened under Colonial rule.
Let's name 2 BIG ones:
1. we would not have become the servant accomplices of drug runners and become morally bankrupt as a people.
2. we would not have borrowed $7bn which we will not repay in a month of Sundays

Oh for the Good Old Days---Maybe when Charles is King he will bring back the Union Jack!!

Who remembers when the video was posted about the detention center and Immigration
officers and the Cubans and the Haitian woman Campbell protested against the Bahamas
where was the FNM Government Did they stand up for the Bahamas,?

Remember the Drama King would like to form a Haitian Political Party in the Bahamas
perhaps he has the numbers needed. The man never cared for the Bahamas. he compares
our Country to Hitler's Germany and he and others feel as if it is all right.

The Bahamas and Bahamians are in trouble with this group. and does Joe agree with all
this just for a few dollars added to his pension?

Ma Comrade TheMadHatter, somethings for certain kinds upscale loyalists have remained pretty much same or even improved materially - except, Papa Hubert, a black man's, rose became PM and relocated Kelly's dock to Kelly's Island. {Even Ma Dear Comrade Pierre Dupuch does know, I couldn't possibly make this stuff up}.
God save King Charles and Camilla.

"What appears to be a long-running ‘silent invasion’" this is the understatement of the century!

Anyone that cannot see Haitians is serious about succeeding the Bahamas from us **AND** successive PLP and FNM administrations have secretly aided and abetted them, simply do not want to face reality.

It is totally egregious that **Not one** of the multiple clandestine treaties under Pindling, Ingraham or Christie signed with Haiti on behalf of the Bahamian people over the decades benefit the Bahamas or our people. Bahamians had no input and absolutely no idea what treaties we "supposedly" agreed to. This should be criminal!

Conversely, these "treaties" actually encourage Haitians to illegally enter the Bahamas! Case in point is the "treaty" rewarding Haitians with our tax dollars for entering the country illegally, being captured and deported. WHY are we gifting Haitians hundreds of dollars upon deportation? How does this benefit Bahamians? What group of jackasses thought this was a brilliant idea and why didn't the opposing group of jackasses cease this stupidity when they returned to govern?

Questions that must be seriously contemplated by all Bahamians are **WHY** are we granting "citizenships" to Haitians and or their offspring that entered the country illegally decades ago? How and why the hell does breaking our countries immigration laws qualify generations of illegal Haitians for citizenship?

This is totally asinine, nonsensical, and reeks of ulterior motives!

We must demand that all treaties signed on behalf of the Bahamian people be exposed for our perusal!

This entire Haitian invasion dilemma doesn't pass the smell test and somebody must be held accountable for destroying our country.

I could not have said it better.

100% agreed!!!

I believe that, for the most part, loyal Bahamians wrote the laws, choose whether or not to enforce them, took bribes to allow what is going on to continue, eviscerated the laws on the books by their selfish behaviour, and continue to elect those who decry the status quo, yet refuse to do anything about it.
Three cheers for hypocrisy.

SP is just another example of how the Aspect of Fear is controlling Bahamians at the pinnacle of whatever false conspiracy that is circulating, I'm sorry, but I had to tell you this. So apparently dealing with Haiti means that we're selling out? Not really, diplomatic meetings are meant to strengthen countries, and now Haiti is blacklisted? Both sides need to put an end to this so-called "silent invasion" that is being said on social media. Haitians aren't invaders, because they're too busy surviving, and even then. They don't have the money to commit such an act.

Haitians to me aren't even a threat, even if they are, it's a minor issue. The fear and hatred should have been directed at criminal gangs that are physically killing us, and threatening the Bahamas to destroy the tourism product. To usher a new age of a narco-state, and to enslave us into the drug wars against our allies. We should be calling for the government and the US Federal agencies to enforce an iron hold on the gangs, and enhance our police and Navy to combat the threat.

From this point, Haitians are the least of our concerns at this point. Most of them don't even bring gangsters or guns into the country, and if they do, we do the job of taking care of the matter. Our gangsters have been responsible for the thousands of deaths from the 80's, Haitians are worried about this place as well. Put down the fears of immigrants, and set your sights on gangsters.

Even among the commenters who usually display reason here, I am surprised at the rabid and irrational fear mongering that is spewed forth.
I think it is also rather telling that most Bahamians will personally hire a Haitian over most Bahamians. So, if the Haitians do invade, maybe we will be left with a trustworthy, hard-working, honest work force, for once, since the the last 30 or 40 years. Bahamians have created the unacceptable and poor social conditions in this country. Haitians had nothing to do with this decline.

@ Aegeaon...Your statement "Haitians to me aren't even a threat" may be well and good for YOU, however, Haitians and others have displaced the most vulnerable blue-collar Bahamian in the workforce to an alarming unacceptable level!

Agreed, diplomatic meetings are meant to strengthen countries. However, please expound how treaties with Haiti remotely "strengthen" the Bahamas.

Haitians are historical invaders as proven in the Dominican Republic.

Until EVERY Bahamian is fully employed, Haitians and others never be welcomed in the Bahamas!
