Wow! Haiti sure is brazen and I believe that it is thanks to this corrupt FNM practice of flying Haitian nationals back to the Bahamas when they never applied for citizenship. Soon they will refuse entire planes on the grounds that it will cut into their GDP. Meanwhile, the UK is steadfastly deporting people that were born or brought to the UK as children when they cannot prove that they are citizens.That is how a country operates when they respect law and order. The Bahamas really needs to stop the slackness. This man should not have been in the detention center for four months. He should have been returned to Haiti.

On a lighter note, at least he got to see the mother land

LOL!!

I don't care what anyone says here. For those born in The Bahamas this is a cruel practice. There have been persons who applied for citizenship when they turned 18 and are now around his age and still waiting. <br/>
We all know the slow pace of our government. <br/> <br/>Despite what callous remarks that will be made here, I try to think about what it would be like if I was in their shoes (being born here and not knowing any other country, then suddenly being shipped off to a strange place.) <br/>
Just because my deceased parents were Bahamian, doesn't mean I can't empathize with the plight of these people. <br/>
[Okay now commenters, give it your best shot to say something unnecessary and confrontational... God bless all of you anyway. Much love.]

WOW can we also apply your logic to when your descendants arrived in the Bahamas as well ,it's only fair, what's your opinion

The constitution is based on the rule of law. An illegal act cannot receive legality, therefore, citizenship applications have been wrongly processed for those born here illegally. Even with a D grade average in this country, any who can read what the constitution says would note that the right to apply at 18 is given to those born to parents who are here LEGALLY.

This is the law. And if I were in his shoes I would have applied at 18 and even stayed in application limbo if I did not want to be sent off to Haiti. Personal responsibility and common sense has to kick in at some point for all of us...Haitians are no exception. He was (allegedly) fortunate enough to be born outside of Haiti, but did nothing to ensure it remained that way.

Now he needs to apply based on qualifications outside of his birth certificate. Despite the bold irresponsibility of Louby Georges and company to make it appear so, the Bahamas is not a birth right citizenship country. A birth certificate and school records, as yet, are not legal proof of lawful presence. Any lawyer or judge who promotes or enforces this lie should have their license rescinded.

The average wait in the USA is about 7 to 15 years. . .and you can't be in the states when ya number comes up. . .if you are there you must leave!! This bitched-up case was floating around last year. . .NO GOVERNMENT WILL SEND ITS CITIZEN BACK TO ANY NATION THAT DEPORTED THEM JUST ON THE VALUE OF THE DEPORTEE SAYING. . ."I EEN GAT NOBODY HERE SIR".

It is a waste of time talking to you. . .carry on in your ignorance. . .WE WILL JUST CONTINUE TO CARRY OUT OUT LAWS UNTIL WE CHANGE OUR LAWS OR THERE ARE NO MORE HAITIANS BORN HERE TO DEPORT!!

YOU ACT THE JACK ASS AND NOT WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING EXCEPT YA OPINION. . .THEN WE WILL DO WHAT WE DO AND BE DAMNED WITH YOUR OPINION!! CARRY ON SMARTLY!!

The average wait in the US to become a citizen can take anywhere from 5-10 months from time of application to interview date in lesser populated areas. 2 years or more for heavily populated areas. You have to be a permanent resident in order to apply and have to establish permanent residency for 5 yrs. If you are married to a US citizen the wait to apply for permanent residency is 2 years and citizenship is 3 years. You do not have to leave the US.

where did you get your information from?

that was nice! thanks

A country is not a charity and countries do not run on emotions and sob stories, if the plan is to be a successful nation. The rules for citizenship are very simple. By now, his people should have long established best practices for obtaining citizenship in a timely manner. Instead it is his very people that are clogging up the system and committing fraud resulting in the extensive delays. They know that sometimes all they need is a good sob story to get around the law, and that is not how it should work. The Bahamas needs to set the right tone so that they take the law seriously. The fact is they live in a country within a country and are only Bahamians when it is convenient for them. The average Haitian in the Bahamas knows more about Haiti than they do the Bahamas.

Yes, or no - be cruel punishment going against we Colony of Out Islands established Christian ways to deport comrade Haitian nationals back their Homeland during the improvised country's growing violent street outbursts. Best we requests sailors Queen's Royal Navy for sea patrols assistance for the many more who be setting sail search Colony's calmer harbour, yes, no?

Wilken welcome home. (Don't worry about the racist, bigotted, inarticulate, xenophobic,)
a*****holes who are going to reply to this post, Bring it on!

... those trips might aid in the growth of shark populations!

LOCK THEM UP, LOCK THEM UP. ( Now where did I hear that before?.) Oh no, that was
Michael Flynn. Sorry.

Your overwhelming preoccupation with the procrative habits of our Haitian neighbors
Is somewhat concerning. If this is indicative of some hidden neurosis please do not
Be inhibited from consulting your local psychiatrist. Remember Johnny Depp just
Played the " madhatter". It wasn't for real.

The Haitian government long ago threw down the gauntlet that it was not in Haiti's interest to assist The Bahamian government with the deportation of Haitians who are illegal immigrants under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. Instead, the Haitian government regards all Haitians illegally residing in The Bahamas to be an important source of hard currency for the Haitian economy. And our pathetic elected officials regard these same illegal Haitian immigrants to be an important source of new votes for the party in power that grants them citizenship. In the meantime the ongoing Haitian invasion of The Bahamas with the backing of the Haitian government is sucking the life blood out of The Bahamas. LMAO

What is wrong with you people? Haitians, Jamaicans, Bahamians.etc. We all come from
an African slave population. The Americans and Europeans had one philosophy --
"divide" and conquer. Look how well it has worked. Each little island blaming the next little
island for something. Meanwhile Uncle Sam and his European cohorts sit back and smile
saying those dumb n*******.

... and in spite of our common ancestry, we have obviously taken different paths in creating sustainable viable economies.
If Haiti's leaders combined return the monies stolen from Haiti and invested it in the country and its people Haiti might have a chance, but Haiti's own leaders don't care about their people, but we should continue to allow social and economic parasitism to destroy us? No way!
Haitians are their own worse enemy!

It is really too bad that the members of the international community who cannot stop MEDDLING in Haiti's internal affairs, have no concern or compassion for the havoc their constant interference wreaks on the people of that island nation, and, consequently, ours as well.

Haitians are going to destroy the Bahamas and the USA. Thats a little over the top, even for
you my myopic friend. Heh lets be friends and have a "tea party", even if its for the mad
hatter and Alice.

If you have information on cases like these, who do you contact?

The UN and the USA have done more to destabilize Haiti since Baby Doc has been deposed.
Just look at what has happened with illegal immigration and human trafficking in our country in the past 20 years. It has become a huge underground business for some.

If the Guardian story is true ........ and each illegal sloop passenger pays on average of $2,500 for the trip ........ Then this is more profitable and less dangerous than dealing drugs now.

Bear in mind that very rarely are we ever told who owns these trafficking vessels and who are the captains, outfitters etc. ............ Sounds just like the Dominican poachers ....... HMMMMMMM

The most sad and dangerous aspect of this situation is this person is 28yrs old and dropped out of school in the 8th grade Bahamian or not he surely has to have a D IQ, and that is Dangerous

Meanwhile, as we speak today ............. Haiti is in social, economic, and political chaos ........ Mobs are burning down and looting the cities ........... The Haitian Government is unable to respond and bring order ..........US & Canadian embassies are shut down ................. International relief agencies are evacuating .............. What do you think will be the natural outcome of this??? ................. another 20,000 boat refugees this year?????????

Let me educate you on the human migration between Haiti and the Bahamas. I will
admit to being in this lucrative line of entrepreneurial enterprise until my recent
retirement. A new sloop ( 40 - 45 ft) costs about $20.000 US. ( have import the lumber from Miami. All trees gone now along the northern coast from Cap. to Port de Paix) So we buy up old boats that have been used for fishing or transporting goods. We get them for as little as a
$1,000. patch them up and we are ready to go. This is the best time of year as the winds
are favourable for Nassau. I put the word out all along the coast, including Tortuga and wait for
clients. The price varies according to the number a applications for passage. If things are slow the price can be reduced, or visa versa increased. Once the sloop is full, monies paid, a
date is set, I pay the captain his share and away they go, heading north. Its a one way trip.
What happens when the sloop goes over the horizon is of no concern.

You must be joking ............ Anyway, tell us how the Haitian passengers get their ticket money to pay their boat fare. After all, the average annual income for Haiti is about USD$120.

You need to take a trip south. You sit comfortably here pontificating about Haiti and you don't know shit. I bet you don't even have a passport. How do they get the money? They sell every christ thing they own to get the cash together, or get it from friends and relatives, I often say
Why they would want to come to a place where the general population is as racist, ignorant,
Inarticulate and bigoted as you are. Have a nice day.

You openly admit here that you trafficked Haitians ....... now you catching feelings??????? ............... What a crazy world!!!!!!!

You seem to be "blowing smoke". . .I suggest that you are also sitting here making up stories about how it is done!! Don't worry. . .we here know how yinna do it. YOU THINK WE STUPID AYE? Stay right there playing ya games. . .we know how yinna do it!! Nice try. . .we gat yinna number. . .

Do you understand satire? I guess not. Literary adventurism. Its not Shelley,Byron or Keats
but it is fun.

I've been thinking about starting a new ' triangular trade route' just like the good ol' days,
only this time between Nassau, Cap Haitian and Havana. It could be profitable.

This is not a joking matter ......... except you are a white Trump supporter

Your investigation attributes leave a lot to be desired my friend. Your last comment is so
far out of left field I can only surmise that the "Rat Bat" was involved. Please in future write
your posts with a sober head otherwise I won't play with you anymore.
