What happened? I can't believe Mr.Louisbin Foreste didn't want to stay in his beloved Haiti to celebrate Haitian flag day, speak Creole 24/7 and display his Haitian flag everywhere!

Damn Haitians want to turn our country into another Haiti for themselves.

The government is not being reasonable at all. In fact, they are defying the constitution when they encourage and even facilitate Haitian nationals being returned to the Bahamas to apply for citizenship. Failure to apply in the allotted time frame means that that he rejected the option of citizenship and not that he gets a do over when he gets caught. This government continues to change the rules as they go along to facilitate illegal immigrants and their ungrateful offspring.

We need to understand the particulars of this case. . .if there was a court injunction against deportation before they send him to Haiti the department of immigration was in violation of a court order!! We cannot violate court orders as we see fit. . .NO MATTER WHO IT IS FOR OR AGAINST!! The law is the law. . .

If we learned anything from the Jean Rony case, it is that some judges will overstep as they see fit. Constitution or not. Even if there is irrefutable evidence that he was born in The Bahamas, he himself admitted that he did not apply and he is now 24. The constitution is very clear about that window of opportunity. Otherwise, both the Bahamas and Haitian constitutions agree that he is Haitian. The constitution does not provide alternate measures or do overs for those who miss the deadline. The real questions are on what grounds did the attorney base his argument for the injunction and what in the constitution did the judge use to uphold it? Are the players in this administration capable of upholding the law even when they personally disagree with it?

Bring him here for what????????? ........... Take him straight to the Privy Council, please.

“This shows what a reasonable government we are,” More like STUPID!

When are those responsible for these so-called "errors" going to be held financially and job accountable for these on-going "errors". Why do heads not roll? Why do BAHAMIAN tax payers have to continue to support the GREAT HAITIAN NATION? Do there exist any BAHAMIAN politicians who actually have the intelligence and brass ones to know that enough is finally enough in this ramped-up take-over of our country?

WHY OH WHY BRING HIM BACK??

This is good news as our elected State Officials are obeying the instruction of the judiciary. Anything else edges the country closer to totalitarianism.

The government has been practicing birthright citizenship without legal authority for decades. Partial adherence to the law is nothing to be excited about because it pleases you. Prioritzing self interests over the good of the country is exactly why this illegal immigration problem exists.

Based on the law, why do you deserve this citizenship, more than this brother? Acting as if Bahamaland is heaven and you are the gatekeeper. KMBRCT

Some my fellow comrade blogger's darkened post - paints such negative picture of having gone too many rounds in ring with darkness.

Brought him back so the rest of the Haitians are spineless a$$****s and that will give them incentive to start a riot !!! The judiciary needs to start by ejecting Fred Smith to whatever country would take him then do as the Dominican Republic did and evict all Haitians legal and illegal so we can deal with our own Bahamian issues who are NOT shipping our economy to Haiti via Western Union !!!

Oh wow, there are some really cold comments on this platform. These people are still human beings, whatever you may think about the judicial system.

I agree with you. No good deed goes unpunished. A case of “Damned if you do and damned if you don’t”.

This country is not the commonwealth of the Red Cross. The line between humanitarianism and law has to remain clear. The Bahamas morphing into Haiti is not a benevolent act, it’s stupid. However, the final decision on the two individuals in question goes, it should not reaffirm any entitlement outside of the law as they both opted out.

The man is Bahamian born, went to school with you and your "childrun". Stop the hate.

I leave the hateful, ingorant comments to faux humanitarians like you.

I can assure you under Bahamian Law if they were to follow the letter. Who knows where they would deport you to.

Hallelujah

It is always interesting to see this Jamaican troll show its ugly head whenever there is an immigration matter in the Bahamas. One would think that they have enough problem of their own to deal with. In short, proud Jamaicans should be the last people on the planet to even try to use any word that is related to "rights"! My extra senses are telling me that this person has an axe to grind with the Bahamas and in particular, the Immigration Department of the Bahamas.
