When will The Tribune's Editorial Staff ever shed a tear for the many thousands of Bahamians who have been made to suffer a miserable existence because of the invasion of their country by hordes of illegal Haitian nationals and their offspring?!

The tears of our corrupt government officials and The Tribune's Editorial Staff for these illegal Haitian nationals only serves to invite many more of them to come our way and does nothing for the crippling effect they have had on our public school system, public health system, social welfare programmes and our unsustainable national debt.

Where is The Tribune's compassion for the many thousands of suffering Bahamians who have cruelly been made to become second class citizens in their own country because of decades of successive corrupt governments refusing to protect our borders with a very hard-nosed, but entirely warranted, stance to illegal immigration??!!

And lest The Tribune forget, our problems with illegal Haitian nationals began long before the human trafficking trade became such a big profiteering part of highly organized criminal syndicates, both here at home and abroad.

Is that a trick question?

all the issues we are faced with today can be traced back to one Lynden Oscar Pindling. He had the opportunity to take the bull by the horns but he fired the school teachers and encouraged the civil service to wear fuzzy slippers to work and suck chicken bones while serving a civilian. Every single MP to date (with the exception of today's first timers) are GUILTY of gross negligence. ........side note, what was the graduating average grade in 1973......anyone?

C+ in all the public schools except for GHS, and B for GHS and the private schools, i.e., QC, St. Augustine, St. Andrew's, Aquinas, etc. But keep in mind too that the grading scale back then was based on a much higher standard of education. In other words a graduating average grade of C+ back then would easily be the equivalent of an A or better today.

And Glenys Hanna-Martin is in the process of doing what many of her predecessors have done, i.e., water down the grading standards in an effort to make herself shine as minister of education.

**DEPORT** immediately.

**But keep in mind too that immediate deportation would not allow our corrupt elected officials to bilk the public treasury for the money they are keen to put in the pockets of their lawyer friends who will be engaged to represent these illegal Haitian nationals.**

**It's all about the money, which is why our corrupt elected officials continue to do nothing of any consequence to stop the ongoing flood of illegal immigrants into our small nation.**

It would also help if the US weren't controlled by Socialist "Democrats" that openly signal and encourage illegal immigration/open borders, exciting these hordes to feel emboldened even more than usual to pass through the Bahamas and Mexico.
