Fact is the man has no constitutional rights in The Bahamas. Point blank period... and the constitution unfourtunately does not provide for persons in his position, persons who are outside the legal window of application.

At this point I say give the man status, and get the constitution amended to deal with these kinds of situations.

Let this be a learning platform and quickly fix all immigration loopholes such as this one.

I fail to see why the public transportation system isn't ran as one operation. They do it all over the world, why can't we.

Pay these guys a set salary with benefits and give them a route with set stops and times to be at each stop.

I'm so sick of the slack lawless behavior in this country. So friggin rogue...

Maybe now they can give an accurate accounting of what really happens.

What they need to start doing is escorting them right back to Haiti one shot. Then when they arrive confiscate and sink the boat in deep water before heading back to The Bahamas.

English TalRussell....literate English please.

Personally at the end of the day I feel it comes down to a few factors.

Uneducated, overworked, and underpayed people living in a society that is overpriced and only caters to the who you know and not what you know mentality.

So in essence we've created a group of people who have a ghetto mindset. Take or be taken...

People are not rewarded for hard work and intergrity, but for having family with connections and no fear of putting said family up the totem pole regardless of qualifications.

Very few people are making it, to many are living hand to mouth, pay cheque to pay cheque. The minimum wage is far less than the average cost of living, yet we have politicians talking about raising the parliamentarian salary.

I can go on and on, but bottom line is this will only get worse. We've past the point of return...the mentality of this country is such where we are no longer our brother's keeper, but rather steal from our brother and kill him.

As usual Bahamians hear what they want and ignore the rest, to the exclusion of context.

She did not condone beating women, what she said was act like a lady and be treated as such.

There is no justification for domestic abuse from either sides of the marriage. The question needs to be raised on how can we better teach conflict resolution, because it's becoming very clear most Bahamians lack sensible conflict resolution.

One pack of lies... they didn't leave any measures. Smh...

I'm so tired of this... easy fix

Have the man apply for a Haitian passport to which he is entitled. Then have him apply for legal resident status in The Bahamas.

It's very simple, but no they looking to grant automatic citizenship to a man who obviously diaregarded the law for years. He's friggin 35 so for 17 years he hasn't made any application for legal status in The Bahamas.

I say send his arse back to Haiti and be happy they aren't making you pay for the flight.

This country to slack with immigration... ridiculous

I don't completely disagree with her. If you want to be treated like a lady then act accordingly. There are consequences to every action and people need to learn how to respect one another.
