This is just more Bahamian government lip service to a most vexing problem that has very serious economic and national security implications for our country.

All diplomatic representatives of the government of Haiti should be made persona non grata in the Bahamas until such time that Haiti undertakes concrete initiatives to repatriate (at its own expense) the many thousands of non-Bahamian individuals of Haitian ancestry who have illegally entered our country. The government of Haiti and its diplomatic representatives residing in our country have for decades refused to expeditiously repatriate their own nationals as and when they are made subject to a deportation order issued by our government. Haiti has in effect very deliberating stymied our efforts to deal with this problem because they now consider our country to be a vital source of the hard currency they so desperately need. Millions and millions of U.S. dollars are taken out of our economy each year by illegal Haitian aliens sending to their families in Haiti whatever they are able to earn while illegally residing in our country. Meanwhile these same illegal aliens pose a major drain on our limited social welfare resources, our public education system and our public healthcare system. It seems Minnis would rather buy hotels than deal with this problem which has already crippled our country.

... actually they want the votes that community gives at the expense of the national interest!
Its the third would mindset-- get elected to destroy your nation for personal gain!

You are both so right. The situation is grim and the politicians of the musical chairs governments are greedily and stupidly complicit.

Maybe let's go back a little further and repatriate all non Indians back to Africa.

Our ancestors were bought as slaves and they had kids and eventually claimed the Bahamas

These Haitians are here working like slaves (without chains
). And they have kids and are conquering "our" land.

What's the difference. A few hundred years right?

Slavemasters don't like there slaves to live one their own street. Right.

It's Bahamians creating the demand for the Haitians.

Every heard the expression "my Haitian", or "I got a Haitian guy ..."
It's Bahamian to speak of Haitians as possessions

Tell me I lie

If you're in the Bahamas legally, that's fine. If you're not, please turn yourself in so that arrangements can be made for you to go back to your country, presumably Haiti. It's wrong for Haitians who have messed up their country to think they somehow have the right to move to another country and mess that one up too, in part due to its scarcity of land and limited financial resources, i.e. the Bahamas. There's a reason why the Dominican Republic has a "shoot-on-sight" policy for Haitians who try to illegally cross its long border with Haiti. As a Bahamian, I'm fully entitled to voice my legitimate concerns about what the massive influx of illegal Haitians has done to the Bahamas. I suspect you have a very good and telling reason for not being similarly concerned.
