"They’re a threat to major sections of our society " No fooling, Mr. P.M. Now that the shanty towns have been eliminated as promised, they will not have such a strong welcoming committee.

"a continuous influx of illegal immigration will affect our health system, will affect our educational system and eventually most of all affect our economy, which would affect our livelihood.” Such utter nonsense. These systems have long ago been negatively affected by rampant, unchecked illegal immigration. STOP PROVIDING THESE RESOURCES. If the bleeding heart humanitarians start bleating, throw the ball at them and challenge them to find a new spot on this earth for them and become their providers. Alternatively let them arrange a cruise for them to Haiti and go with them. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

By the way, why was there no mention of the effect on crime?

Why do we not have a list of all those prosecuted for hiring illegals?

Yes, no - while 91,409 comrades voting red shirts 10 May, 2017 have wondered, besides from cooking he pots "gifted" stewed fish - what else might we PM be busy he self in? It's official, the PM has been takin' creole square dance classes. Rumour has it, some PM's neighbors been calling 911 in bid get the PM to tone-down playing his too enthusiastically loud creole country dance music. Yes, no - true?

Tal, respectfully, have you ever considered writing clear, grammatically correct sentences, without all “da sauce”, which might help you get your point across? Half the time we dinna know wha’ you givin’ speaks to.

The phrase “besides cookin’ he pots gifted stew fish” can be awfully difficult to parse.

thank you Clamshell, I never read his writing, too bad as he may have legitimate points to share.

Take their biometrics and enact a law that says that anyone who enters this country illegally will never be able to apply for residency or work permits and any children they have will be denied the right to apply for residency or citizenship. Will the government do that? I doubt it!

Yes, or no ma comrade JoeBlow, wouldn't a blame da parent offspring policy not conflict with the financial glue which holds red shirts together as a political party. Yes, no?

Biometrics? Half the government has difficulty making change for a dollar, and you’re talking biometrics? Dream on, brother, dream on ...

... one can only hope!

doc is a true, true. liar he believes his own LIES. He said they have accomplished
much when it comes to illegal Immigration. .. doc that is not true. It is the same
just a different day.

Perhaps the illegals are coming to spend time with their cousins them. in every
facet of the Government.

> With no apparent change in aggression, Mr Newbold has suggested Bahamians were wrong to expect visible signs of ramped-up enforcement activities.

In other words, as long as these illegal immigrants are **not** aggressive, the corrupt Minnis-led FNM government will not ramp-up law enforcement activities in order to round them up and send them back to their home country. THERE YOU HAVE IT BLUNTLY SAID.....MINNIS AIN'T GONNA BE NO MORE DIFFERENT THAN PINDLING, INGRAHAM AND CHRISTIE WHEN IT COMES TO TACKLING THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROBLEM THAT ALREADY HAS SEVERELY UNDERMINED NOT ONLY OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, BUT ALSO OUR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC WELL BEING. What a joke! LMAO

Thought he meant aggression on part of our Government?? But in any event, it seems nothing of any import has achieved anything of any import. Just look around you, listen to the spoken language on the streets, it is soooo visible and audible. There is also quite an increasing influx from a rather large island to our south-west.

Such a Trumpian statement ............ poor, illiterate, unskilled Haitians have been a threat to our country for 50 years.

Das a big 10/10!

Since the start of the new year, 304 migrants have been intercepted in three separate incidents, officials said, while 600-700 were apprehended in 2018.

It's January 7th... and that's what have been intercepted imagine what got through!

“Nah nobody’s going to do that. What (the prime minister) says is ‘do what you’re supposed to do, follow the law, apply, get yourself straight or you are going to be prosecuted’. That is happening. What else is a big part of that is what is happening with the shanty towns. Of course nothing is happening with the shanty towns, it’s a matter before the courts. He says I’m going to enforce the law. We find you we are going to prosecute you, we’re going to send you to jail, whatever it is, the minister responsible has been speaking to that, that is what is happening but if people expect you will see buses riding the streets of Nassau rousting people out of their homes at night that’s not whats going to happen.”

LOL

Yes...seems quirky there in an illegal breaking Sovereign nation border territory ....required to follow the law an turn themselves in...defeats the purpose of being here..likely none would do so.......an what possibility of applying...and getting straight....dey done broke the law wid no legal papers...Somewhere in there should be the possibility of by doing so turning yerself in...and deportatipn.....to be considered for points towards successful re entry application.....points also for persons who demonstrated good points...accumulated assets....etc.........Funny the Haitian Pastors Association didnt seem to be enlisted as a part of repatriation exercise.....but instead helps with the Re housing for settlement of Shanty town persons.....

First of all when the Bahamas becomes a member of the WTO, it will be required to relax its immigration policies, not strengthen them. Secondly as a member of Caricom, did Minnis ever discuss this vexing illegal immigration problem with member states? What have other Caribbean nations done or are willing to do to help eliminate economic hardship in Haiti. Rounding up migrants or intercepting them at sea is costly and not effective enough. Especially with Donald Trump in the White House. The Bahamas is now the preferred country to run to.

Yes, or no - if by some fluke this US president does not be one-term president - I can see comrade Americans by the thousands overstaying their visit our colony of islands - not rushin' return back their homeland. Yes, no - wouldn't be long before Americans risk their lives homemade boats seeking refugee resettlement?

Actually, Tal, the American marxstream commie media is full of shite.

Contrary to what these pressniks claim, Americans are quite delighted with President Trump's stewardship of the nation and want him for a second term.

However, should any of these commie demsheviks cheat their way to the Presidency in 2020 you will see Americans fleeing.

The Demsheviks these days are a vindictive, violent lot out to destroy anyone who isn't a demshevik.

Fake news. Sadly though, I suspect you really don't know the true history behind our geographical heritage. LMAO

" These people are a threat to our national security" P.M. Hubert Minnis.
" These people are a threat to our national security" Pres. Donald Trump.
These two clowns talked on the phone last week. Donald advised Hubert to build a wall
from Turks to Cuba!!!!!! ( Tweedle dumb & Tweedle dummy)

In addition to being a self-confessed 'Never Trumper', I suspect you're either of Haitian heritage or married to a Haitian. How else could you possibly not see what has happened to The Bahamas as a result of the Haitian invasion that successive PLP and FNM governments have allowed to go unchecked. It was SLOP and Loftus Roker who swung the door wide open for Haitian invasion that is now choking our country to death.

Loftus Roker opened the door to the Haitians? So much for his 'Bahamas for Bahamians' stance.

Don't worry--They got QC Freddy on speed dial!

Yes, or no ma comrade JackArawak, so you thinks I should post more grammatical Jamaican. Yes, no?

Threat or not,I really hate to see black people arranged like they on the Middle Passage

"Pm Warns: They’Re A Threat To Our Country"....No shyt sherlock, exactly when did Minnis wake up and notice that?

Maybe now Minnis has the impetuous he obviously lacked to begin fining businesses that hire illegals. If he just does nothing "again" and goes back into hibernation we'll know he's just as full of shyt as his predecessor without the stupid dance!

"well mudda take sic" ; I am very sorry to hear that your mother is not in good health.
Maybe if she had given her intellectually challenged son even a modicum of education
she would be in a more satisfactory condition. ( We Haitians smart eh?)

She passed 12 years ago....but don't let that stop you. And "Yes", being the Haitian invasion supporter that you are, you are probably much smarter than SLOP, Ingraham, Christie and Minnis combined. You and your kind have certainly outsmarted every government The Bahamas has had since its independence in 1973, and the number of illegal Haitian immigrants in our country today are a testament to that simple fact. So give yourself a pat on the back. ROWL

What is this "mudda take sic" crap. Is it meant to advertise that you are a bona fide
Bahamian patriot? I think not. "Me and my kind" & I quote really smells of fascist sympathies
that you no doubt harbour subliminaly. I am able to recommend a competent psychiatrist for
you to help you over your 12 year old passing.problem. Keep the Haitians,, send your kind
back to Bedlam. ( does that sound like a Haitian to you -- moron ?)

Now don't you start aggressively waving that Haitian flag of yours in front of me! ROWL, with some GROWL added for emphasis.
