They come here to build shantytowns and send money back to Haiti is what you must mean.

Listen, I studied and worked abroad at one point in my life, but I did not go and build a shack in the public park nor violate the conditions imposed on my ability to work, neither did I just cross the border illegally and then cry victim when getting sent home like they do here. There is a process for work permits, and conditions attached to them. Quite frankly, even the legal ones need to be sent home because most of them contribute to the shantytown problem (government has no balls to hold the employers responsible for them), refuse to integrate, work for multiple people while on one permit, and drive down wages for unskilled/semi-skilled Bahamian labour in certain sectors such as construction. There is zero benefit, economic or social, to having them here. Only greedy contractors who just want to produce the shittiest build without having to pay a proper wage/NIB are in favour of having them here. Government needs to crack down hard on that sector because I know for a fact that many of them end up stealing materials to take back and build their shantytowns with. Anyone found encouraging the construction of these shantytowns needs to be sent to prison, I am sick and tired of this problem. It is ridiculous that we are still having to deal with shantytowns in 2024.

Regarding the religious aspect, God gave every kind of people their own land. When directing the Israelite people to the Holy Land, he bluntly told them not to pick fights with Edom and their other neighbours on the way because that was not their land and He would not help them one bit in a war of conquest against it. This idea that Christianity supports mass migration and the destruction of entire nations is foolish and has no basis in Scripture or any tradition. Speaking the truth is not "hate", we cannot destroy our own country in the process of trying to "help" others.

You're right, I probably would, or I might wonder what foreign NGO gave it to them. Funnily enough I actually know someone who had to close on their property for 30k less than the agreed upon sale price because Haitians came and stole the doors, windows, patio, even the bloody hardi plank off the sides of the residence while it was still under contract (this was in the months after Dorian where there was zero police presence on Abaco).

It's not our problem that Haiti is a shithole, and Haitians have no one else to blame but themselves for turning it into one. They will come here and do the same thing if we let them, we already see it with the lawlessness involving the shantytowns and the feigned victimhood whenever someone with any balls tries to do something about them.

Obligatory "was she vaccinated"?

Nah, that generation needs to disappear from politics entirely. That generation is exactly why this country is spiralling into third world shithole status today, they let these problems fester doing nothing to fix them.

Yes, because it's very Christian to steal land, build shacks on other people's property without permission, steal utilities, and spread disease shitting everywhere in the bush right? Always the people who don't know anything about Christ trying to lecture on Christianity.

"We need to have illegal immigration so we can dodge NIB and pay below minimum wage for borderline slave labour" isn't the great argument that you think it is. Judging by the quality of the shanty homes that I have observed, they're not great builders either.

Government needs to take notes from El Salvador, a rare success story in a region plagued with similar issues.

Funnily enough you are statistically more likely to end up sexually abused by a public school teacher in lieu of a Catholic priest, at least in the United States. What happened to those victims is wrong, but the Catholic Church is not the only institution with those issues and certainly not the worst offender.

DeSantis doesn't care about the Bahamas and certainly doesn't care about how Bahamians might feel about what he has to say. He needs funds for his campaign and he knows exactly who has all the money for campaign donations; he is appealing to a very specific, wealthy, demographic with his comments.

Prayer is wonderful, but as Scripture says "faith without works is dead". God gave us (some of us at least) a functional brain to diagnose problems and develop solutions.
