@John, while SP may be ranting, you are being politcally correct and therefore, not completely truthful. I believe the average is more like 5. Even the few Haitians who have made it as a story line in the tribune have no less than 5, including a 21 year old woman. If Haitians made there way to the US as cleanly as you state, by having one or two children and returning upon adulthood, there would not be the massive backlog of applications there is today.
Thanks for your honesty SP. Only a couple of folks here touched on this truth. Since 2005 officials have known that foreign births outpace births to Bahamian mothers and it was never addressed. Not sure how 'black people breed too much' can be discussed by anyone who does not acknowledge this fact.
He needs to address repercussions for the students who attempted to interfere with the officer, while making no effort to stop the fight, at least three of them did. If this goes unpunished, students will truly have no fear of the law.
@birdiestrachan Izmirlian is not being treated with any concern either. In fact they seem to be taunting this man over his substantial losses almost daily. At least Christie is speaking up on behalf of some of the homeowners. He seems to be working against Izmirlian who could have provided thousands of jobs for Bahamians...some of those homeowners included.
“If, as he states, Mr Izmirlian is in a position to, and wishes to work with, China Export-Import Bank to deliver Baha Mar for the Bahamian people, then he should engage seriously with Perfect Luck and its advisors,” the Prime Minister’s Office said.
That quote just sounds bad. Why would the PM not want to help in delivering Bahamar for the Bahamian people? Why would/should this be Izmirlian's responsibility alone when the government appeared to do all they could to wrestle it away? I thought after egos simmered they would work with him, I guess it's not important enough.
She is not the only professional sprinter that has agreed that the so called dive was not intentional. Diving would have slowed her down, she lost her balance on a premature lean and instead of giving up she propelled forward in an attempt to win...and she did.
We should all be congratulating her for her fight to the finish, not criticizing her and implying she was not an ethical sportsman.
It actually looked like she tried to lean in in order to get ahead of Felix, but she was too far from the finish line and couldn't recover. It was either propel forward or suffer a clumsy fall, and no medal. Even Michael Johnson, and a couple of other sprinters said it was not intention. Either way, it was a good race and she came out the winner.
Foreign investment is a mutually beneficial arrangement. If investors did not see the Bahamas as a place where they would have substantial return they would have invested elsewhere...perhaps Haiti. So give me a break with your nonsense...every country reserves the right to handle citizenship processes as it sees fit...regardless of foreign investment.
Why doesn't the Haitian ambassador take some responsibility for this backlog caused by thousands of Haitians? If these illegal persons registered their kids with the Haitian embassy at birth or during childhood, and not waited until their 18 birthday to begin the process the situation would not be like it is today. This is what and who he should be addressing. Not speaking on how inefficeint the process is because he is really only suggesting and complaining that an authentication process is being followed. I prefer inefficient over none at all.
He has some nerve suggesting citizenship laws for the Bahamas. He needs to address the Haitian constitution above anything else because it affords the children of Haitian nationals born abroad citizenship, instead of complaining that Bahamas does not. As if rewarding illegal entry and irresponsible procreation is the solution. We need look no further than Haiti to see what overproceation can do.
He is talking about the inconvenience caused to Haitains, over a situation they created. What about the thousands of Bahamians who are similarly inconvenienced? So tired of hearing the victim stories when it comes to Haitians. They very much helped in making the bed they are currently lying in. Stop blaming everyone else.
