I think the problem is too far gone, and clearly not a concern, for inept leaders to address. If 105,000 Haitians illegally migrated to Chile (11 hours by plane) within a year...imagine the real numbers to Bahamas over decades. Plus the high birth rates of Haitians entitled to citizenship at 18. If laws were enforced over the years on deporting and the entitlement window, there'd be no issue. Now only something similar to what the Domincan Republic did would be effective.

After the riots, then what? Haiti becomes even more uninhabitable, then a new excuse surfaces that it's too inhumane to send them back. They're provided with amnesty for a few years...and within that time four times as many "entitled" Haitian/Bahamians are born. The government has to stop making emotional decisions that impact poor Bahamians the most.

The people who are sure to come during this chaotic time would have faced more violence en route to the sloop, than from the international airport. Better yet, transport them by sea back to the Haitian beaches they travelled from.

This group lacks credibility. I would be surprised if this is another made up story, like the high speed chase that supposedly injured a child.

This is the law. And if I were in his shoes I would have applied at 18 and even stayed in application limbo if I did not want to be sent off to Haiti. Personal responsibility and common sense has to kick in at some point for all of us...Haitians are no exception. He was (allegedly) fortunate enough to be born outside of Haiti, but did nothing to ensure it remained that way.

Now he needs to apply based on qualifications outside of his birth certificate. Despite the bold irresponsibility of Louby Georges and company to make it appear so, the Bahamas is not a birth right citizenship country. A birth certificate and school records, as yet, are not legal proof of lawful presence. Any lawyer or judge who promotes or enforces this lie should have their license rescinded.

Not there, sorry. But I'm sure that's where you'll find your missing brain.

Now youre just being ridiculous. Illegal Haitians who are supported by other illegal (and legal) Haitians, and people like you is a real problem. Continue to bury your head in the sand and more of this will inevitably happen.

Believe what you want, but that funeral was not filled with strangers overwhelmed with grief. It's not the survivors, but the surviving relatives in Bahamas, that would have supported them all. Take your head out of the sand. Even the multiple boats that were caught last month was known on social media before they were caught.

No conspiracy, just facts. THEY really came and bodies were identified within 24 hours. Or do you honestly believe it was Haiti's hi-tech DNA analysis and computerized government that led to the quick identification? La La Land might be nice for you, but I have no intention of visiting.

We need a plan, first and foremost, to question and hold accountable those mourners who identified the deceased and facilitated this dangerous voyage for them. Many were not strangers, let's not continue to play dense. Haitian-Bahamians are well aware of the schedule for these illegal trips.

We understand. We also understand that a porous border made up of poor, uneducated, unskilled workers is disastrous for the Bahamas. We will become Haiti. To skip around this glaring reality, and pretend all we need is love is immature. Or do some of us have to wait until Bahamians wash up on Florida beaches to understand.

The only way to help Haitians is to help them remain in, and rebuild Haiti. What's stopping the author, the "Haitian rights" group and Haitian Bahamians from doing that? Im guessing it because lip (and pen) service is a lot easier than actually doing something.

This country cannot sustain it's existing population. Haitians and other immigrants would double it within months. So I don't believe you're serious with that comment. The only thing that will do is prompt Bahamians to take an equally dangerous voyage to Florida. The real solution, for Haiti (and Bahamas) are homestead communities that exist completely outside of the economy, and government infrastructure.
