Diane, why doesn't the U.N. look at it as an opportunity to distribute birth control pills and education to these people in their countries of origin?

If we accepted 50,000 immigrants this year and put them in good positions where they are benefiting the Bahamas, as you suggest, the only thing that will happen is next year another 50,000 will arrive, and the year after that, and the year after that, and the year after that ... and so on.

We do not have an unlimited capacity here - and whatever capacity we do have for population expansion should be done by our own people. We don't need to import a whole bunch of people who know that the straight thing goes inside the round thing.

I often tell people if you find a syringe on the road and you don't know what is in it, do not inject it.

This is good news. Hopefully it will go bankrupt because only Haitians would benefit from it anyhow.

Yes, it will take that much money to feed all the Haitians.

It's nice to know that BPL staff are geniuses and require no training on any generator system since all systems in the world are the same. LOL

In other words, foods and jobs for shanty towns. I asked my son what he wants to be when he grows up (currently in grade 8) and he replied "An illegal migrant".

Even the children can see what is happening.

So now i have to check with my food stores to make sure where my leafy greens come from, just to be safe.

Sir, flights leave for Haiti every day. You are at liberty to get on one and go down there and help them with whatever problems you wish. However, in case you haven't noticed, there a lots of them here, and soon we will need help ourselves. Who are we going to ask?

What a shame former Prime Minister Minnis did not put in place the Freedom of Information Act while he was in power. Now, as an ordinary Bahamian - like the rest of us - he would be able to benefit from that Act and obtain the information he seeks.

What goes around comes around.

Wait another five years sir and when you become a dictator again then you can get the info. In the Bahamas we have "elected" dictators. There is no democracy here.

No Freedom of Information Act. No freedom. No information.

The people of the Bahamas keep voting in the same people half-decade after half-decade - the same people, the same Parties, the same results. The Bahamian people have received their end of the bargain - paid in full.

The agreement was, come out get your chicken and drinks, listen to the free music at the rally, dance and sing - get your t-shirts and bumper stickers, hats and pins. Then go and vote for the people who could afford to put on those big shows and give you those trinkets.

They did their part by providing all of the above THEN you did your part by voting them back in power. It was an arranged deal, completely fulfilled by both sides. I don't see why there is reason to complain at this late date.

That chicken, the one that comes home to roost, just got a tattoo on his leg last week. It says FTZ. I figure that's pretty good spelling for a chicken.
