Bird beak. What is this? Is rights Bahamas a shareholder in the Tribune? Let me go pop some corn.

I have a suggestion. create a low cost community right in lyford cay for the illegal migrants. The residents won't allow a slum to pop up, they can pay wages to adequately compensate the immigrants for suitable housing and their labourers can easily commute to their places of work.

Exactly! These people are NOT living in the real world!

...
They're not many species living on Planet Earth.

Mr Bethel was absolutely correct.
The Bahamas is no position to continue breaking its own laws to enforce birthright citizenship because a few bleeding hearts, and illegal Haitians, demand it. It also cannot end deportations whenever an international agency, same agency who callously pulled out of Haiti mid crisis, demands such. The Bahamas cannot realistically sustain all Haitians that enter its borders, or the many children they decide to have without sinking itself.

Poor uneducated Haitians cannot develop this nation. This is why those who fight for the Haitain/Bahamian status quo, never seem genuine. And the UN simply doesn't care that one black nation is pulling another down, that is status quo for them. And they don't have to challenge world powers to do better or lend assistance
We cannot let the few well off Bahamians, the ones who can afford to hire Haitians, visit private clinics and enroll their kids in private schools make decisions that negatively poor Bahamians without regard for them.

If editorials like these are meant to be taken seriously, and not a tool for "Rights" Bahamas, it should refrain from using dishonest phrases and intentionally misleading situations. Yes, the PM was chastized for kicking down the door of a shanty town home. However, the accusation was from a useless organization with the same agenda as "Rights Bahamas". Please use your public forum to tell the full story, the truth. It was an unoccupied already destroyed home in the final phase of demolition...and using brunt human force is a method employed to do just that. Most people know this, and this is why it did not gain traction the first time around. This fake imagery, is onky meant to project the lie to the world that Haitians are being brutalized from the top down. It's digusting and very misleading.

I can never wrap my around how false narratives, speaking down to Bahamaians, never addressing how to improve poor Bahamian lives thru Haitian immigration is seen as an effective tool in the fight for Haitian acceptance, and making the path to citizenship easier. I am appalled at the lengths that the few who benefit from Haitian labor and the out of touch elitists would go. They'd rather see Bahamas fall, and to see already down and out Bahamians suffer than present meaningful solutions that can benefit everyone.

Exactly! And it seems as if the radio talk show hosts take the same stance in this illegal migrant debacle. It's as if they are all basing their feedback on emotions, instead of hardcore facts. How ironic since those who hold the represent the forth estate should be objective. I can't believe that these people live in the same country as we do!

Countries have laws, the governments responsibility is to enforce them for the general well being! May they continue to enforce the law in all things, including immigration!

I never believed the day would come that I would read a "fake" editorial in the Tribune - probably written by Fred Smith from his recovery bed. Such garbage!

for the elite is has become the fashion to defend the poor Haitians. so long as all of us black
folks stay at the bottom of the ladder looking up at them. so they can glory in their "I am
so much better than them"

I will believe their bleeding hearts as soon as shanty towns are on the Eastern Road and
in Lyford and Smith Point. Smith Point which has nothing to do with Fred Smith.

The real problem sending a few Haitians back does very little to reduce the 125,000 entrenched into communities. Just how do you weed them out? r this point it is not going to happen so the Bahamas at this point should focus on stopping

It beats doing nothing at all, Mr. Mckenzie. But I believe that this and other tactics must be adopted if the Bahamas government is to make a dent in this problem!
