And how do we know that you are not here illegally, maybe you have a fake birth certificate, maybe everyone of us has fake papers. Who is to deceide, you and me or a court of law?
It is not the law that would have to be changed but the Constitution with the usual referendum.
But the court interpreted the Constitution by using cases from other Common Law jurisdictions and Commonwealth countries.
This would never have occurred if we Bahamians had stopped his parents before they got to The Bahamas or followed the law and deported them as soon as they arrived.
We are slack people living in a slack country and now we are paying the price. If he was born here, legally or not, he has rights.
So where is the Grand Bahama Port Authority in all this? The GBPA is supposed to promote business in the Port Area. They have done nothing for 10 years or more.
Government needs to find a new owner (with real money) and force the useless St. Georges and Haywards out.
Just try to get the evidence against the hackers and see how far you get. Western Air has daily flights out of Andros.
Ask yourself why these passengers did not fly Western?
Probably Western was more expensive because it has to meet maintenance requirements, insurance requirements, pay license fees, pay crew a proper wage, and so on.
Maybe we need to remind ourselves that there is a life threatening risk to flying with unlicensed and unregulated pilots and planes. These are not airlines as you have to be licensed to be an airline.
May also find that your life insurance is not valid if you fly with a hacker. So don't expect your life insurance policy to pay out.
