It would be prejudice if I thought that this would be the result only here and nowhere else. I do not. I maintain that this would be the result if it was enacted anywhere. New York, Beijing, London, Moscow....anywhere on this planet. Greed and stupidity are universal.
Spot on. They are destitute because of the way they think, not the other way around. But this will be an excellent scheme for them. They will buy vehicles & equipment without duty and find a way to resell them to someone not entitled and split the duty. A nice little earner for all concerned. The profits will go on more alcohol and gambling. All happy.
Hmmm. I wonder if you lot would complain so much if these guys were building your home, or something that belonged to you? I bet there would not be a peep out of you then.
I never laughed so much! "means you can go to a certain location and see who owns a piece of land". Yes, you need to call up Bahamasair and get a return ticket to Internetland.
What a bunch of ignorant people. You can do all this and blockchain it in 6 months. As data is added by the Courts, you add it to the database. It's soooo simple.
20 years? People have built rockets and gone to the Moon in less time from scratch.
If they are going to knock down all properties not built to code, they might as well start with Parliament. I bet that building would not pass.And then continue and bulldoze everything Over-The-Hill.
I just do not understand why these guys insist on trying to re-invent the wheel. We all know what a wheel looks like and have done so for a very long time. And it works perfectly. No need to tinker with its shape.
An immigration offence is an offence like any other. Sure, you CAN give the Director of Immigration the power to order a deportation, but the person upon which the order is served still has the power to appeal it to a Court.
Have one special Immigration Court sitting 8 hours per day and let it work by video link to anywhere in the Bahamas. Guys get caught in Inagua. Immigration issues a deportation order. You appeal? Yes...great, switch on the video link, get case resolved in 2 minutes. No? Deported. How frigging hard is that?
