Agreed

First of all the thousands that you are so scared of are already here and working.

Secondly,
when you make someone a Resident or a Citizen they will be paying the taxes that they are not now because they are not legalized.

Thirdly, as they will have a permanency in The Bahamas they will feel that it is safe enough for them to invest and keep their money in The Bahamas, instead of sending their earnings out of the country.

Fourthly, with all of that they will probably boost the economy and job opportunities for many the unemployed of whom you speak.

There is much more but the above should suffice.

Read Article 10. Think on who is a Bahamian person. A Bahamian person can be a man or a woman.

Answer this, can a Bahamian woman who marries a foreign woman get her spouse Bahamian citizenship?

Read the comments in the paper made by Fred Smith about same sex marriage.

Your "no" well may in fact be "yes" to same sex unions, not to mention citizenships you don't want.

Birdie, read Article 10.
What if a foreign woman marries a Bahamian woman outside The Bahamas and then they come back.
Can that foreign woman get citizenship?
She married a Bahamian person.

The "no Sayers" need to **read** the Constitution carefully. They also need to **read** the cases, what the judges actually said, and how they ruled.

Yup, you will need to **read, read, read**......and comprehend what is there. It is not easy so expect it to take 5 to 10 minutes per page. You will need to set aside hours.

Stop making all your silly comments and become truly educated on the subject.

Have you **read** what Fred Smith said in the paper couple of weeks ago anout same sex marriage?

Maybe Mr. McWeeney has a valid point. But for you to know you will need to **read**.

**Also , if you have not **read** **the Constitution from front to back, don't write or say anything, because you clearly don't know what you are talking about.****

They are scared of the FNM Council which is full of old has beens. This old outdated Council lost touch with the electorate years ago and are dumb enough to re-elect Minnis again.

Most of them are in their 50's to 70's. You are hard pressed to find many under 40 and they would be lucky if they have more than 5 members of Council under 30.

It is the Council that is destroying the FNM.

Hi Tal, I agree. Indeed, if the Defence Force, Immigration and Social Services had done, or permitted, to do their jobs we would not be in this mess.

With computerization and all the additional staff the Fred Mitchel says have been hired, you would have thought that we would be further along.

Residents and citizens pay taxes and are more likely to feel a part of the Bahamian Community than apart from the Bahamian Community.

Those who feel apart from are more likely to send their money abroad and not to invest here.

It is not rocket science. Then we would have a much better picture of who should be here and who should not.

Minnis lost my support months ago. His talks of Trump.

Maybe he plans to build a wall around each island in The Bahamas and charge Haiti for it.
