It is never an easy path at immigration. They will sit on the application for 10 years or so and take a look at it and then put it away for another 10 years or so.
And we wonder why our economy is so bad.

Whoever wins the next election is going to have to govern for the benefit of the Nation and make very, very hard decisions. We have left the rot for so long.
There will be many who will be disgruntled as no one, especially us Bahamians, likes change, but change we must. There will be protests and people in the streets.
14(1) relates more to a woman having a child, outside The Bahamas, to a foreign man in circumstances where they are not married.
This is where our **Constitution rewards a Bahamian woman for having a child out of wedlock** as it gives the child automatic Bahamian citizenship and **punishes a Bahamian woman for having a child in marriage as the child is considered a foreigner** and may apply at 18.
This would be corrected if we vote "yes" to Bill 1 so that a married Bahamian woman's child would also get automatic Bahamian Citizenship.
We are talking about a person who knows of no other country as home except The Bahamas, feels that she is Bahamian, her dad is Bahamian. why on God's earth would we not want her to have her citizenship?
Instead we are telling her she is not one of us, she is a foreigner, she is different, she is not as good as the others that she grew up with.
What a bunch of small minded, scared, ignorant bigots.
Why is government paying for anything in relation to Carnival? They paid out the money last year to get it going.
It should be self funding this year. Where are the sponsors? When the Bahama Games were done, may years ago, there were sponsors like IBM and Aquapure and others who funded the games.
Who is paying for the TV rights etc.?
Must stop all these armatures being involved with these things. This is why the Country is going broke.

Just see how long they take to give that Belongers Permit; 5 maybe 10 years.

You mean showing up on these shores like the young girl who was in the newspaper the other day. Born of a Bahamian father in The Bahamas.
You must be a very scared person to want to punish people like her. People who only know this as their country and would work hard to make it better.

The only Bill is No. 4 that could cause anyone to vote "No" on.

This is the Report is just the first step in the process. We have to have the "where we are" starting point.
As I understand it, the next step is to discuss on how to fix it and then the plan to 2040.
