Upon seeing the headline, I thought this was another "Hope & Promise" being given to Freeport. We don't need anymore here. We are chock full of hopes and dreams and promises.

But then, it became clear this was another proposed Nassau investment.

It wouldn't have mattered - because Freeport wouldn't have gotten it even if he did intend to open it here.

“But we’re working with that,” the minister added, “and we’re now talking about expanding our scope in the recruitment of teachers and so those issues are being addressed … but wherever we know there is any form of deficit, we have sought to fill them through the virtual school which is not ideal … but it’s a stop gap measure while we ensure that we get teachers there.”

What rock do these people live under? Nobody wants to teach in Habaco because you need to speak two languages. When persons are taken off the boat by Immigration, they should be asked if they were a teacher back home - and if yes, then shipped immediately to Habaco and somebody put a chalk in their hand. Problem solved.

Father's Day cards and Mother's Day cards should be against the law in the Bahamas - Customs should prosecute and ship, plane, or person in possession of one when entering the country.

People in Germany are educated and hardworking. Maybe we should invite 50,000 of them to come here and give them work permits and free land to build on.
Since we are "uneducated and lazy".
Good idea?
What do you think?

Mr. Pintard, respectfully sir, we don't need a committee. There has been enough talks on these matters since Roker's time.

We simply need to enforce the laws already on the books.

You guys did not enforce them last time you were in, and the New Day government is not enforcing them either, and neither did they 2 times ago when they were in.

Enforce the law. Very simple. I get a ticket if a police sees me roll through a red light. why??? why do i get a ticket? Can't I just give him an excuse and go about my business?

Now passports can be printed at night in Cat Island and placed on defense force boats ready for distribution, whike the enbassy in Haiti is closed.

When it reopens, the Cat Island office will suddenly become unavailable.

Pintard, you still calling for more reports? Too bad your FNM Party did not see fit to enact the Freedom of Information Act. No info for you, and that's good for ya. Be blind like regular citizens now until it's time to buy back the $200 t-shirt government again.
The people are ready now to throw out the PLP and of course the only other option their feeble minds can consider is the FNM, so you got no worries. You will be PM. PM of whatever is left of the Bahamas by 2026. Are you taking Creole classes? Hope so.

JokeyJack says...

Wonder how many blank passports and work permits they left behind? My guess is 12 million of them, enough for every man, child, and microwave oven down there.

Bahamians voted for a Haitian PM, now we follow orders from Port au Prince.

On Minnis: We have an immigration crisis
