It is in the national security interest of the U.S. to immediately start assisting the Bahamas government in any way that it can with the repatriation back to Haiti of the more than 60,000 illegal Haitian aliens in the Bahamas, most of whom are now on New Providence Island. Only the U.S. government is able to exert the intense political and economic pressure needed to force Haiti to accept the repatriation of its own nationals. These illegal Haitian aliens are an unsustainable burden for the Bahamian people and are destabilizing the Bahamas to the point where the Minnis-led FNM government will soon have little choice but to accept the contemplated generous offers of very significant financial support from the Xi-led communist regime of Red China.

Hurricane Dorian has unfortunately created a desperate situation for the Minnis-led FNM government and the Bahamian people, effectively putting the Bahamas up for sale in terms of global influence and alliances to the highest bidder. The U.S. government can ill afford a wait and see attitude given the track records of the last Christie-led PLP government and the current Minnis-led FNM government in cosying up to Red China's growing capital investments in, and and foreign aid to, the Bahamas. The Xi-led communist regime will undoubtedly use the crisis situation caused by Hurricane Dorian as an ideal opportunity to strengthen the foothold it has been endeavoring to establish on the door step to the U.S.

For the past two decades the Red China communist regime has been steadily going about building up anti-Trump and anti-U.S. sentiment within the Bahamas. The U.S. government needs to much more aggressively fight what has been happening and one easy way of doing so is to assist the Bahamian people in resolving their destabilizing illegal Haitian alien problem.

Bahamas Immigration officials with the help of our Defense Force personnel must start aggressively identifying and detaining illegal Haitian aliens at designated detention centres, where they can be held humanely pending their repatriation back to Haiti. This will not be an easy task because many of these illegal Haitian aliens are likely carrying fake documents they have fraudulently obtained (i.e. bought) from corrupt elements within our Department of Immigration itself.

The US has difficult immigration problems of its own. Don’t see why they should be expected to solve the Bahamas’ immigration problems as well. Should they also be expected to keep the power on over here?

The U.S. could do nothing and eventually simply end up treating the Bahamas and Bahamians as it has done Cuba and Cubans. Meanwhile the Xi-led communist regime will continue its expansion and influence in the Caribbean region as it has done on the African continent and as it is also now doing in Venezuela. But remember, just as no man can be an island unto himself, no nation (including the mighty U.S.) can be without its friends around the world.

Which is why Haitians are trying to establish a relationship.

You're obviously a proponent of a borderless and lawless Bahamas under the deceitful guise and accusation that Bahamians are not a Christian and humane people simply because they wish to stop and roll back the harmful invasion of their country and way of life and culture by illegal aliens who have no regard for the rule of law and order, but prefer instead to live in a free for all society where everything is regarded by them as theirs for the taking.

What a sick Bastard

I suspect you are either an unpatriotic Bahamian or an undocumented illegal alien, or possibly a foreigner legally residing in the Bahamas but with family members and friends who are undocumented illegal aliens. If you must, just make a voodoo doll called Well_mudda_take_sic and start sticking long sharp pins into it. That might just help you...who knows?

You are wrong on every count. Not Bahamian, not an illegal human like you. No family in Bahamas, Neither am I there. Salvation Army send regional director living in Jamaica and because he is Haitians you block him.

You go on a tirade about Red China but you defend into intellectual chaos about Haitians. If you did not have corrupt Police and immigration. Bahamian business could not pay bribes to get working papers for illegals.

That being said, can you think about this human catastrophe for once. That the lives of human beings àre affected and are at stake?

Your answer is based on the foolish premise that the Bahamas is the center of the Universe. Bahamas should be prosecuted for murdering hundreds with inadequate preparations. It should also be prosecuted for allowing statelessness buy not conferring citizenship by birth even when one parent is Bahamian. The Constitution also degrades women by trying to control them so they won't marry men of choice.Is marry Bahamian men or swethearting.

Whoa! You really are a certifiable nut case.

The world is watching!
Won't the refusal serve but single bowl grits and tuna with slices of avocado, not tell the world community about colony's internal meanness. Why should the world help those that turn their backs on the hungry right front them, yes, no .... no one has demanded of any local to first fill out a proof of nationality questionnaire - before being served hot bowl grits .....

True to form Tal: You're always coming to the defense of your Haitian brethren who have illegally entered the Bahamas. I suspect you couldn't care less about all the havoc wreaked on the lives of most Bahamians for the better part of three decades now as a result of the huge unsustainable burden associated with the extraordinarily large number of illegal Haitian aliens in our country; at least 60,000+.

Many, many Bahamians have been donating and donating to these established shelters. We cannot, however, help make any illegal migrant magically legal. They have reason to fear the future and they know exactly why.

So true @still waters. After the dust settles, the government has to address those who find themselves illegally on our shores. There is only so much that we can handle. Supporting illegals is not one of them. I do believe, however, that we are obligated from a humanitarian stand point to at least give them the initial help that they need after such a devastating tragedy.

Ma Comrades, why lots say in favour withholding single serving hot grits, but not damn word about why aren't the unscrupulous employers not being arrested and jailed, without bonding, for not paying NIB the deductions monies collected out their workers paycheques, yes no....

Persons who illegally entered our country are not eligible to be enrolled by NIB. The fact that they were illegally hired by greedy unscrupulous employers and got duped into having payroll deductions wrongfully disguised as national insurance contributions does not somehow now entitle them to receive benefits in respect of deducted amounts that were never paid over to NIB.

When the dust settles. Dear so called Christian country. The Bible warns nation's to take care of the widow, orphan, and foreigner. This is a test.The world should not send another bottle of water or food if the criteria is people must provide papers. People done tire of you all foolishness

Ma Comrade Jamaican Proud, it's right there 324 times written in Bible's bold print - what would be the required elements qualify for our colony - becoming a Christian group Out Islands, yes, no .. we's still long way, away .... be brave, go ask, Jesus, how unchristian-like deniers but bowl hot grits - should dare be's so boldfaced to make such claims ....

Anyway Haiti? Government of Haiti, stop being so useless. How can boatloads of people be smuggled and you don't stop it. How comes Dear Haiti you have provided no assistance consular , monetary or logistical to your citizens? This is bad, very bad. Stop making excuses and assist your people.

The first sensible thing I've heard you say.

Somebody must have hacked jamaicaproud's account!!!!!!!;!

Trump has it right! Illegals are not just "foreigners in our country", they are lawbreakers from day one, everything they do for survival is also illegal, and should they be treated as such!

Nassau is already facing an acute unemployment issue and simply cannot afford to absorb thousands of illegal migrants.

Anyone with half a brain knew this situation was inevitable, it was a totally preventable disaster just waiting to happen. Unfortunately, the PLP and FNM are incapable of seeing beyond the tips of their shoes.

We better come up with **two new political parties** fast, or we can kiss the Bahamas as we know and love it goodbye!

Ma comrade SP, **don't be consumed fret be Happy!** Hurricane Dorian, done planted seeds solid caliber new political parties strike back at two mainstream political parties" ....

Why is nobody asking for the arrest of Edison key he should ve in prison.

Most Bahamians don't know that before Edison Key entered active politics he made a small fortune (millions of dollars) from his ownership share of a very large scale farming operation in Abaco. The farming operation's profits were greatly enhanced by its extensive use of low cost illegal Haitian labour and its products were exported for the most part to the U.S. Edison Key soon began cozying up to SLOP and vice versa. Edison needed official papers for his farming operation's low cost Haitian labour and SLOP needed more PLP votes on what had traditionally been predominantly FNM turf. A match made in heaven ensued which planted the seeds for the explosive growth of both the Mudd and Pigeon Pea communities in the years to come. By hook or crook Edison went about securing legal documents - permanent residency certificates, birth certificates and citizenship papers for children of illegal Haitian aliens, passports and, of course, voter cards for those who could quickly be made able to vote with the understanding that they would support their new Papa Key. This paved the way for Edison Key's long career in active politics across both political parties - there has never been a more successful switch hitter in the history of PLP and FNM politics. Edison Key had created for himself a huge base of Haitian voters loyal to him and him alone. This allowed him to cross PLP and FNM party lines several times, whenever he got fed up with one or the other not treating him as he felt he should be treated. Yes indeed, Edison Key alone can lay claim to the Haitianization of Abaco. And there's your history lesson for the day!
