that's not the problem, the problem is that the Government does not follow the law. If the Government acts outside the scope of law it results in uncertainty for all others concerned. The immigration laws foresee a clear conduct and procedure, and there is no reason why that procedure should not have been followed. The outcome will be the outcome, if Rufa and Co have broken the law, then there will be consequences, such as deportation.
So, this may be all good and right what you are saying. why is this not prosecuted? if Mr. and Ms. Salvisburg have a record of criminal conviction, that would obviously warrant a different approach. But "not liking" is not a standard to apply laws and deny or grant rights to persons. This is the problem in this country. We all the laws we need, we even regulate drones, and no one in the government gives a damn about following the laws.
an unheard of statement by a Union official to accept even minimal layoffs, seems all the parachutes are in place. many new consultants coming onto the market soon.
High time we join the WTO, then at least everybody else (who was not invited to bid or was kicked out because of the wrong color of their shirt) has some recourse against this government. Other than African countries and the Middle East, I think the Caribbean and the Bahamas is the last place on this planet where contracts like that have to be publicized and offered to the general public for tender.
I have a good idea for an investment @BISX: buy BOB, I heard the stock will skyrocket (as in "explode"). Other than that, nah. not much of substance. who wants to invest into a depressed economic model?
