@Jamaicaproud Jamaica has never faced an onslaught of illegals like the Bahamas continues to experience. There is an extreme difference in resources needed to process hundreds every few years versus thousands annually. To hold Jamaica as the standard on how to process illegals, is absurd. Jamaica has an emigration problem. There are more Jamaicans outside of your country than in. That speaks volumes about the quality of life for the average Jamaican.
The courts are not needed to examine fraudulent documents. The various departments responsible for issuing them, should be the first and last stop in this process. And immunization records and school records are not proof of birth or citizenship.
Also when was the last time Jamaica successfully dealt with an illegal immigration problem even close to the Bahamas'? People tend to run away from, not to, Jamaica. So I'm sure your court has the capacity to entertain fake documents in court proceedings for the ten extremely desperate illegals who go there.
What Rights Bahamas is failing to mention is that 3 of the 5 are minors who were deported along with their parents. The law is clear they can apply at 18. It does not exonerate their parents of their crime or a means to regularise them.
Also why are they quoting Symonette's personal feelings on deporting persons allegedly born in the Bahamas? For a group so concerned about maintaining the integrity of the constitution they have to his personal feelings does not constitute law.
@Jamaicaproud 1.Birthright citizenship is not Bahamian law. The Caribbean community has no say in this. Just like you sat by and watched the Dominican Republic revoke citizenships of generational Haitians, you will have to sit this one out as well. Btw, wasn't the PM of DR presented with some award by Jamaica, this year?
2.The individual in question could not provide the officers with provide the officers with proof that he was born in the Bahamas. Immunization cards with distorted birth dates, fake graduation certificates and school ID cards, may work in Jamaica..but it's not sufficeint in the Bahamas. He should have gotten his documents where the other fakers get them.
Why should there be signs of him when he was deported to Haiti? Whether or not he's in contact with his family and immigration lawyer in the Bahamas is a personal matter.
Of course they are. The well off Bahamians who hire them keep jobs out of the economy because they can hire an illegal more cheaply, than a Bahamian. He needs to address these people as well.
