Sadly many of these so called "recruited" Cuban medical workers are not as qualified as our corrupt government officials have led us to believe. The quality of healthcare training in Cuba and the entire Cuban healthcare system have significantly declined over the last three decades and the quality and standards of Cuban doctors, nurses, medical technicians, hospitals, medical schools, etc. are nowhere near what they once were.

The Cuba of yesterday is not the Cuba of today as evidenced by the fact that its corrupt communist regime cannot even provide the Cuban people with the essentials of everyday life like food, electricity, water, medicines, and yes, even basic medical care of an acceptable quality.

And the presence of the evil ChiComs in Cuba have done absolutely nothing for that country as is the case for most nation's that they seek to greatly exploit for their own purposes with little regard for the needs and interests of the indigenous people.

The Cuban medical personnel being recruited by our healthcare officials are for all intents and purposes seeking political asylum, but they are at the same time being taken advantage of (abused) by corrupt government officials in both the Cuban and Bahamian governments in what has been transformed into an illegal profiteering human trafficking scheme.

Our government must avoid announcing that it is willing to open our country's door to political asylum seekers as doing so could have dire consequences for our small nation with its very limited land and other resources, especially given our many existing problems associated with an already unsustainable population of illegal immigrants.

Keep in mind that the failed states of both Cuba and Haiti have enormous populations and telling their suffering and destitute people that we are willing to open our doors to asylum seekers would undoubtedly have disastrous implications for The Bahamas and the Bahamian people.

And let's not forget for one moment that the present U.S. administration is hell-bent on purging itself of illegal aliens by sending them back to the last country they were in before illegally entering the U.S.

The simple truth of the matter is the Bahamian and Cuban governments should not be involved in human trafficking activities for their mutual benefit that abuse the fundamental rights of the humans preyed on and made subject to the illicit trafficking. Such crimes against humanity are illegal under international law. It's really as simple as that.

And let's try not forget that the ancestors of many Bahamians had their rights seriously abused when they were sold to the highest bidder and trafficked across borders to become cruelly treated as slaves many moons ago.

Our brain-drain problem is a direct result of decades of failed social and economic policies because we, the Bahamian voters, have been foolishly allowing corrupt and incompetent politicians to seek elected office with the intention of feathering their own nests while representing the interests of their financial-backers and cronies rather than the interests of the Bahamian people.

Whatever the U.S. government may or may not do itself is irrelevant.

Whatever you say.

LOL. Who needs "trumped-up charges" to detain/arrest the criminals within our ruling political elite (and the criminals among their wealthier cronies and financial-backers) when so much hard evidence exists that has been gathered by the U.S. intelligence agencies in recent decades.

> Asked yesterday about the local situation, Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell declined to comment.

This slimy SOB has for years been telling his political colleagues that the human rights abuses being committed here by The Bahamas are perfectly justified by the U.S. continuing to "poach" from our small nation newly trained, qualified, and experienced, Bahamian medical doctors, nurses, and medical technicians.

But what sleasy Fwreddy Boy refuses to accept and acknowledge is that the U.S. government is fully aware the very corrupt leadership of our political parties, especially the PLP, is responsible for creating the poor social and economic conditions that have caused the very serious brain-drain our small nation has been suffering from since the 1980s.

You seem to have forgotten the golden rule: Elections have consequences and he who has the gold rules.

The above article is so poorly written that it seems intended to confuse readers. I therefore strongly encourage interested readers to visit the U.S. State Department's official website to read for themselves what is actually said about The Bahamas in the annual international narcotics control strategy report for 2025.

Secretary Rubio and his State Dept. leadership team likely now have The Bahamas squarely on their radar in ways not touched on by this somewhat dated report; ways that no doubt will much more appropriately address the national security concerns President Trump has about The Bahamas given both its close proximity to the southeastern border of the U.S. and the ever growing cosy relationship its corrupt current and former senior politicians have developed with the ChiComs.
