You hit the nail square on the head! Nassau has the same problem only worse, with expats and second home owners.
They could care less about our laws, and why should they when there's no penalty and nobody has been fined for hiring illegals, secondly, immigration can't go into gated communities to look for illegals anyway.
The country is buried in illegals from all over the place being facilitated by expats and second home owners looking for the cheapest labour.
**Wannabe king** Trump will do whatever he wants to do regardless of court orders.
Bahamians need to follow the rest of the world ignore Trump, and simply move their students to Canada, Latin America or the EU.
The world doesn't "need" and can get along very well without America! In fact isolating America from the rest of the world would result in less chaos, wars, and dishevel globally!
The reforms the Bahamas truly needs to "unlock real potential" is to have lands systematically stolen from Bahamians starting with colonialism through the 1959 quieting titles act returned to the rightful inheritors!
Mr. Davis is correct that clever (dishonest) lawyers on both sides of the House continue to play leading roles in circumventing the law to benefit greedy clients to the detriment of Bahamians that cannot afford expensive legal representation.
The Chinese Ambassador Ms. Yan Jiarong has made a very important observation that everyone conveniently ignores by stating **"China does not coerce, threaten, sanction, or invade others."**
Since 1946 the US has been in numerous wars includes the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, and many other smaller conflicts. According to statistics from Uppsala University, there have been 285 armed conflicts since 1946.
This does not include any number of coerced regime changes involving assassinations of world leaders and interfering with countries governance by installing puppet leaders to allow US control of resources.
Not to be forgotten is the fact that the United States has a history of breaking treaties and committing genocides beginning with the indigenous American Indians and Mexicans, and is guilty of many other genocides around the world including the ongoing genocide in Gaza!
Alternatively, China has no record of this dark behavior and instead has become the number one preferred global collaborator for development across the globe!
Given the stark differences in reality between the Unite States and China, only a totally ignorant individual would trust the United States over China.
**FNM Member of Parliament J Kwasi Thompson has a very valid point!**
The increased number of suicides and attempted suicides is unquestionable confirmation that the public at large continues to see no end to suffering.
However, things were equally as miserable for the average Bahamians under the former FNM administration, if not worse.
Both governments are well known for totally forgetting the grass roots immediately after winning on election night, focusing on pandering to the more affluent, friends, family, and lovers.
We will never forget the draconian harshness towards the poor, less fortunate, and coconut vendors, by Dr. Minnis during the Covid pandemic, while he allowed the wealthy all sorts of freedoms. Then he was dumb enough to admit his failure by promising to "focus on the poor" during a second term.
Why Dr. Minnis thinks Bahamians would be stupid enough vote for him again now is totally mind boggling.
Poor Bahamians have gotten poorer under both governments and everyday they watch Haitians, Asians, and Latinos, move up the economic ladder into better jobs, housing, and cars.
This is not surprising. Every government allowed the cruise lines and corporations to abuse Bahamians forever.
Nothing has changed. Colonialism under British rule has been replaced by corporate colonialism today.
Africa as a prime example has more resources than the rest of world combined yet up to 75 of Africans live below the poverty line as big corporations continue getting away with robbing them of trillions annually.
"Independence" is a tool used to fool the masses into thinking they actually have a say in what transpires in their lives.
**National Security Minister Wayne Munroe's team unquestionably wins this one hands down!**
Surprisingly, the PLP have provided an immediate sensible solution to a serious problem.
Marvin Dames has offered no alternative solution and is wasting Parliaments time throwing an obvious unjustifiable hissy fit just to "oppose".
Any idiot can oppose everything. Politicians need to understand how damn stupid they prove they are when they oppose something without simultaneously bringing an alternative solution to the table.
This is the kind of immature stupidity that we the people have to pay for and endure when one party stops progress simply to "oppose" !
Normally, both parties are absolutely useless. However, in this particular instance the PLP has come up with the only immediate sensible solution to a serious national problem.
Both parties need to realize that "we the people" are not ignorant.
We do not approve of the vast majority of bull-skating and time wasted debating non-important stupidity in the peoples House while the people continue to suffer REAL issues daily !
