Emac, "when we speak out we are perceived to be xenophobic". I firmly believe that if a country and its people are pride of their land, food, heritage it can not be xenophobic, unless you act, speak and mean all of this exclusive of others. If we Bahamians think we are better or closer to God than the Haitians (or anybody else) that would be a wrong exceptionalism and xenophobic. I do believe if our nation was strong, thriving, full of energy, jobs and good emotions, we would not have an immigration problem. The issue is, we act fearful, exclusive and angry, because we are afraid that someone is trying to take away what we have (or the Government is promising us). So here is the thing, we need to stop getting illegals to the islands, we need to determine which ones we want, we can use (yes we can be selfish) and that can help us build our nation and the others need to be sent home. We however also have to apply a sense of humanity. Don't send back children, that don't have any concept of a home other than the Bahamas. Keep them, raise them, show them the right way, how to work hard to build a Better Bahamas.
unfortunately nothing will happen, unless and until the company is forced to clean up all and "spend the millions" that they announced to clean up. Don't expect anything from the government. They are neither willing nor able to act.
Mr. Miller, it is your job to run BEC successfully. That is why managers like yourself get paid. Thieves and overtime and the price of a cup of tea in China are irrelevant.
