You seem to hate paying Bahamians a fair wage. Sad.

Several decades? Are these people for real? Not a single qualified Bahamian in several decades. Wow. Says a lot about what they think of Bahamians and how selfish and cheap they are. It is so called Bahamians like this that are destroying our country and have the temerity to complain.

Save us the sad sob story. You have contributed to this problem by hiring foreign Labour. In all these years you could not find a single Bahamian to fulfill this role. Give me a break. Has this man any family here in the Bahamas? Has he fathered any children here that are a burden on us tax payers? You are a hypocrite and should recuse yourself from all discussion on this matter save to pay and make recompense for the problems you have caused taxpayers like me who have never hired a Haitian. This is nothing more than a pathetic sad excuse to save money instead of paying a fair wage to a Bahamian.

I am most certainly a Bahamian but I am no hypocrite like most of my fellow Bahamians who have exploited Haitians for cheap Labour and now that the time comes to pay the bill wants to wash their hands clean. Mine are clean how about yours?

It would be wise to educate yourself before you write such fictitious drivel. Long Island is the worse place for any Haitian sloop to land. It has happened several times and invariably every Haitian is rounded up and deported to Nassau. There are no Haitians living here to hide or help them, or people like you who hire them and help them.

Wrong again. I have no Haitian ancestry, I have no Haitian friends, I do not personally know any Haitians. I live in Long Island where there are no Haitians and unlike a self acknowledged hypocrite like you I have never hired a Haitian in my life.

By the way I live in Long Island and we do not have a Haitian problem here. In fact I do not know of a single Haitian legal or otherwise living on this island. We do not have Haitians here because no one hires Haitians. I have never hired a Haitian in my life. Bahamians have their own greedy, selfish selves to blame for this problem. So as Bahamians we need to help fix it.

We do not know the breakdown, but your point is well taken. We are still left with the vexing problem of 2000 homeless persons in our shelters who are overwhelmingly Haitian and who overwhelmingly have legal status. Are we going to drag these persons out, most of whom have children born in this country and deport them? I can tell you that will never happen. Do we simply turn them out homeless on the streets? It seems to me we have to help provide some assistance in providing shelter. We may not have a legal obligation but we certainly have a moral one. These Haitians are here because Bahamians want cheap Labour. Many times Haitians have been exploited. It is persons like mudda sic who would rather have cheap foreign Labour than to pay a Bahamian to do the same work. Then these same hypocritical Bahamians complain about Haitians. Stop hiring them and they will not stay here! So our hands are not clean we are very large contributors to this terrible problem so we should be expected to help fix it.

The govt is satisfied and states that 80% of these residents have legal status. Case closed. No one gives a hoot what conspiracies you have concocted in your mind.

Wrong again. My family was granted crown land and settled in 1782. I am as Bahamian as there comes! I have just stated the facts, you may not like them but they are facts just the same. 80% of these persons have some form of legal status, just like the Haitian you have employed who you are so fond of. So you said before you are all for legal Haitians so I expect you will fight for these Haitian’s rights as well. Wonderful to have you on our side.
