Like one of my posts said previously, the Ministry responsible for Immigration can't be serious about the so call new policy when the allocation for repatriation for 2014 is the same as 2013. Show me the money and I will show you government intentions.
People only tend to carry out an action if there is a reward or a consequence. In the case of the policy there was no reward but a veil threat of a consequence(no registration, no school). The PM did away with the consequence when pressure came to bear. We need to demand that policy are properly thought off before they are announced.How can you announce an immigration policy that impacts the Ministry of Education without first talking to the Ministry of Education.
This is what Oswald Brown, an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs(Embassy in Washington) wrote about Fred Mitchell several years ago. http://www.weblogbahamas.com/blog_baham…
Fred Mitchel charade is starting to pay dividends. You really believe Fred Mitchell position on Haitians have change from the time he protested Loftus Rokers deportation of Haitians. Come on people don't be so naive.Why do you think Fred Mitchell waited until now considering he was Minister of Immigration from the time the PLP won. Fred Mitchell was my lawyer for a past case and he is all politics. Who goes on an island tour to announce a new immigration policy. His intent is to use this issue to remain in the public eyes to overshadow any other person vying for leadership. I can assure as politicians always do, you will be disappointing sooner or later.
Enforcing the new policy will be interesting.The only criteria the government plan to use to distinguish a Bahamian child from a Haitian child is the surname. The average Bahamian child from Bain town don't have a passport and his parent don't have a passport. A birth certificate can not be use to prove citizenship.
