NIB would have been viable if governments would stop using it as a go-to fund. The more NIB collects the more the government takes. No amount of money will help NIB if it is constantly been used to fund hospitals and clinics.

The Bahamas has free education all the way up to college. If you find yourself having to compete with uneducated immigrants that is on you. Yes, the little man get the sh...y end of the stick, that's why I stop been the little man.

What way of life are you referring to. Bootlegging or drug trafficking. Maybe you are referring to offshore banking/money laundering. The lack of jobs in the Bahamas is mainly due to under qualified Bahamians not Haitians. In fact, there are thousands of jobs available. The private schools are 60% foreigners. The medical field especially nursing is in desperate need of workers.

Haitians have been the lowest hanging fruit for a lot of activists anxiously waiting to become politicians. The biggest land grab in the Bahamas was by the Grand Bahama Port Authority (Fifty thousand acres plus) and the I-group (ten thousand acres) in Mayaguana but no one is protesting them. All the Shanty towns combine doesn't add up to one thousand acres.

An analysis should be done to determine whether an independent Bahamas is better off compared to a non-independent Bahamas. How is present day Bahamas faring versus the Turks and Caicos, Bermuda and the Cayman.

If it cost $800 round trip to Haiti, why would it cost $5000.00 per person to be deported. Even if you throw in salaries for Immigration and Defense Force officers to accompany the flight, the amount seems a bit high. I guess when they utter these figure's their reasoning is that our "D" average population will not take notice.

A lot of our kids are not returning home because the so call first world countries provide incentive for them to stay. These countries realized that for them to remain vibrant and growing they need a constant flow of educated individuals. They also realized that they cannot look inhouse due to the malady that is impacting their generational citizenry. That grouping has become lazy in most countries. The Bahamas needs to open its doors and at least compete for the second tier educated class or else we will continue to decline. The Bahamas needs a national policy to attract individual from the Caribbean, India and the Philippines. We did it with nurses but also need to do the same in other areas.

What the airlines are probably not aware of is that the Bahamas want to provide Air Traffic Control Services to all of its airspace. It's the USA insistence that the Bahamas allow them to control it because of National Security concerns. An aircraft doesn't have to identify themselves until they are about to penetrate the Air Defence Identification zone which is in some cases five minutes from the USA mainland.

The law that allows for deportation of children born to foreign parent was and still is impractical.
If the law was followed by the letter the Bahamas would have had thousands of Haitians kids applying for citizenship upon turning eighteen with no connection to the Bahamas. Better they stay in the Bahamas and get a Bahamian education and learn English.

Wayne Munroe short coming is the fact that he is not a politician. He bleeds the law. He is not going to tell you what you want to hear. He gonna tell you what the law says and what he believes. Our preference is someone who speaks with flowery words, innuendos and false truths.
