There is not a single Haitian in Long Island that I am aware of - legal or illegal. Which illustrates an important point, bahamians have created this problem by hiring illegal immigrants. Then our successive governments failed to address the issue of persons born to illegal immigrants living in the Bahamas their entire life with no legal standing. So we reap what we sow. Stop hiring illegal aliens, hire bahamians, and regularize those that are entitled and deport as fast as possible everyone else. It is our own slackness that perpetuates this problem and the sooner we accept that and make changes the better. This unfortunate young lady is very much a product of her environment and it is one bahamians have tolerated and in some measure encouraged.

I hope this is throughly investigated and let the chips fall where they may. Unfortunately, the police force has a reputation for using excessive force, we should require all police to wear body cameras, much more professional training, and a large increase in salary so we can attract much better candidates. There is a dire need for a more professional force.

Good. It is long past time the FNM took a stand to preserve democracy and object to this injustice. We are watching to see if Mr. Minnis truly has the backbone to be prime minister.

Let the dirt be known! I am surprised Mr. Gomez would continue to allow his good reputation to be so sullied. We know he has already tendered his resignation twice, he must be a very conflicted man. When you lie down with the dogs you will get fleas. Very sad, he should leave before his reputation is destroyed any further, either way very sad for him and the country.

No worries CS, the AG does not enforce laws in the Bahamas, just ask VAG.

Mr. Wilson is either delusional or simply deliberately trying to dupe a bahamian populace that he thinks is stupid. Unemployment is at a higher rate than when the PLP came to office 3 years ago, the absolute value of delinquent mortgages is higher than when the PLP came to office, our national debt is currently at an all time high relative to GDP, We have a new massive tax- VAT - that is projected to raise 350 million annually from an already overburdened taxpayer thus removing 350 million from the productive private sector and give it to this corrupt, inefficient government, Bahamar is not open with no firm opening date in sight, the fear of crime is palpable and shows no signs of abating, BEC is more dysfunctional and has more load shedding and blackouts than ever, never ending scandals which are never addressed in a timely or fair way......... Yeah I think he is right, he has convinced me economically we are doing better. The Bahamas sounds like a wonderful place to invest now.

The more important story here and what should have been the headline was the net income miss by cable bahamas. I would like the tribune to question him on this as that is of utmost importance to shareholders and not just the positive spin Mr. Williams put by emphasizing revenue growth. Revenue growth is wonderful but meaninglessness if costs are not contained and net income increases. A decline of 19% in net income is significant and even more so the failure to meet cable's own projection at the time of a preference share offering that net income would be 15.4 million for 2014. This is a miss of 27%, why such a huge miss on cable's own projections, shareholders want to know!

The government should be congratulated in general and minister Mitchell in particular for enacting this legislation to assist with our long intractable problem of illegal immigration. The FNM failed to act meanifully but the present govt finally has. Also the grand Bahama human rights association in general and Mr. Fred Smith in particular thanked for his advocation of rights for the disenfranchised and for holding the govt feet to the fire. He said legislation was necessary and he was right, we are better for the bitter, angry debate on immigration. Especially with the creation of the belonger's permit the govt has the tools to finally deal with this vexing immigration problem in a fair and humane way. I pray that with all the necessary elements in place the govt will swiftly and purposefully move forward to regularize those that are eligible, this means processing people in a fair and timely manner, and deporting those that are illegally in this country just as swiftly.

Yes, it is time for the FNM to put actions behind their words. They should not let this matter drop if they truly believe as they said that this is a threat to the democratic process. We are watching to see if the FNM means what they say.
