Voltaire always appear out of nowhere whenever there is something about illegal Haitians. ***"We in this country are serial abusers of vulnerable people who ended up here out of desperation and in search for a better life."***

Stop playing the sympathy card. It is getting old. No one is desperate who can cough up $2000 to pay to get on a sloop to travel miles and miles to a foreign country. I can't even find $2000 right now and you talking shit 'bout desperate people? Y'all really think Bahamians fool ay?. Maybe Immigration need to check your household, cause you come off like one dem smugglers yaself. Maybe Bahamians would be more symphatheic to you and your kind when y'all stop demanding and having hundreds of damn children. First control your bad habits, then people can say maybe these people are looking for a better life. NO... your people are not looking for a better life. They are looking for a country to plant their seeds, that's what it is. Do sit small and stop demanding. What you should be saying is that you are so grateful that the Bahamian allowed so many illegal Haitians to come into our country and shared our healthcare and educational system.

@baldbeardedbahamian, you ever hear the Smokey song, "Born Dere"? Well das me. I am a proud Bahamian! With that been said let's talk Solutions! I agree 100% with DonAnthony, enforce the laws.
1. The government must bring down the whole armour of the law against those who aid and harbour illegals migrants.

2. The government must begin to relocate residents in shanty towns or make them evacuate over a certain period and then destroy these shanty towns as they were not build within our codes. Make them green spaces and take back the land papers from the owners,

3. Stop processing applications for cheap labour out of the Bahamas. Insist that all applications be submitted from Hatii. The Bahamas Consulate Office to the Republic of Haiti is located in Port Au Prince. Get some staff over there and Use it!

4. The Department of Immigration must begin revoking the permits of holders who are found
working in areas that are not outlined on their permit. For instance, a permit holder of a "Labourer" postion should NOT be working at fish fry.

5. The government of the Bahamas needs to revoke the permanent residency status of anyone who is found guilty of committing any crime, harbouring illegals of defacing any of the Bahamas' national emblems. Y'all remember those ungrateful SOBs that dragged the Bahamian flag on their flag day. Not a word from deranged Fred about this.

6.(This is an important one) The government of the Bahamas must bring a referendum to the people for us to decide whether or not to amend the constitution to make it crystal clear of who is eligible citizenship. Both parties have failed to do this because they know that the results would be a resounding YES for change to the Constitution which will stop this anchor baby syndrome in Haitian woman.

What was so funny was a a video circulating around social media with this Haitian lady's response when asked by Immigration officers if she had legal status. She proudly blurted out that she had 39 grand children! Go figure.

It is time for every right thinking Bahamian to step up to the plate and take our Country back from these freaks we hired to lead. It is obvious that they don't give a damn about us Bahamians.
Finally, for those who think that the empty sloop was a conspiracy and that no one came off that boat, please read the report! It was reported that residents in the area witnessed several cars driving in the area to pick up the illegals. Yes folks, the same damn Haitian descendants that we rewarded with citizenship are the one aiding illegals and we sit around sipping coffee talking bout conspiracy. Keep sipping... If you believe that you are immune from the illegal immigration problem just because you live behind a gate, then you gat another thing coming. God forbid that these people ever bring some life threatening disease on one of these sloops, then you hear everyone blaming the government!

The apologists in this forum are always good for a laugh. Certain people always try to muddy the water by turning this issue in to a human rights issue or by throwing out catch phrases, such as "Bahamians being inconvenienced" or "rogue immigration officers". The hardcore fact is that these same people offer no solutions. They never openly speak out against the law breakers that enter our country illegally, or the Haitian descendants who aid these illegals in their illegal activities. Bahamians are not in the mood for this type of BS that is being spewed by these people, who obviously have an agenda that is certainly not in the best interest of the Bahamas. Although I am sure that it will never get to this, I could give a shit about carrying around a passport if it helps to eliminate or diminish this illegal Haitian issue that has been plaguing our country for decades. This problem by far out weighs a little inconvenience.

The reality is that lot of Bahamians are suffering. Anyone who thinks that the majority of right thinking Bahamians will just stand by idly fondling their arms while illegals sneak in their country to steal jobs is dead wrong. Fred Smith and the government will soon begin to see the mean side of Bahamians, when we begin to rise up against those who try to make us second class citizens in our own country!

lol

*"Our Minister of National Security (Marvin Dames) needs to fully explain to the Bahamian people how this most serious and embarrassing breach of our national security was allowed to happened right under the noses of the RBDF!!"*

Well_mudda_take_sic, he did! His explanation was that it is impossible to control the entire border of the Bahamas, and these kinds of things happens in every other countries. Then he went on giving examples..bla,bla,bla...Why did the Bahamas ever wanna become independent now?

I am seriously considering joining the Johnson's in Canada.

Well said!

I see your point

Not even a saint would want to work for such a measly salary. But I think the problem here is not the plan for salary increase, but the fact that Minnis sincerely promised that these types of actions will NOT be priority on his government's to-do list. We must all admit that there are more pressing needs in this country other than the good ministers salaries.

Any questions???? SMT

So who is the only miserable person NOT smiling in the photo. People who are mean and bitter and miss living of the public's purse should NOT be involved with the people's business!
