I agree! Who cares about what his intentions were before, or even now. The crux of the matter is that the majority of the Bahamian people support these new policies and wish for him to implement them. So no campaign that seeks to disparage the brave minister's name, just because of what he is doing now, is invalid in my eyesight
I am sure there is some ulterior motive as to why these policies are just now being introduced or enforced. Maybe it is vote related. Maybe during his second term in office as Minister of Immigration he is beginning to see the light :(
I agree though:We do have to see where this goes. But I am hoping for the best.
This may be far fetched to many. But I would say that if the brave Minister Mitchell goes full force ahead with his plans, without being dissuaded by the ranting of the anti-Bahamians Fred Smith and the other Grand Bahama guy, then I would support him as the prime minister of the Bahamas. Bahamians need politicians who are willing to look out for their interest, period. Fred has two big ones unlike the flakey leader of his party. Let's face it. The immigration factor will play a large role in which party wins the next election. Nough Said!
Well i support this new policy to be introduced by Bahamas Immigration. As a matter of fact, I would go on record to say that I was NEVER a supporter of the PLP. But because immigration reform is so important in this dam country that I would move into Fox Hill just to vote for Mitchell during the next election :(
When all as has been said and done, the average Bahamian is one that suffers from a broken immigration system. Those who oppose this new policy are entitled to their opinion. They are certainly not in touch with reality or what is going on in the rest of the world, or even the extent of the problem in the Bahamas. Ultimately, the Bahamas should be for Bahamians and all those who visit our shores legally to contribute to our growth. I often speak with many teachers who feel that this move is necessary in solving over crowded classrooms in public schools, which will result in Bahamian students and Legal immigrants receiving a better standard of education.
Yeah but some people turn themselves in whenever they receive information that police is looking for them and they know they were not involved with the incident in question. A suspect doesn't necessarily mean that the person is the actual perpetrator of a crime,

Sounds condescending to me. But anyway. How can we differentiate a Bahamian child from that of a Haitian child? Dem high cheek bones, dats how. How u think immigration officers can spot a Haitian from a mile off?

Agreed. But didn't the good Education Minister say that he supported the brave Minister of Immigration and that their decision was resolute?
