The Bahamas' temperate climate, proximity, and ease of access to North America should be a winning formula to entice high-end universities, special education/vocational institutions, and retirement home developments from North America to expand here.
The benefits of local education opportunities would be limitless.
If the PM Minnis only wants to be surrounded by ‘yes’ men, he can only expect the guaranteed crash and burn political doom of Lynden Pindling, Hubert Ingraham, and Perry Christie! Had these men had fewer egos and more common sense, they would not have met such humiliating ends at the polls!
Many persons, myself included, wish there were several more individuals in Parliament as Mr. Chipman with the **"BALLS"** to buck the system and party leader.
Mr. Chipman had the foresight and fortitude to challenge do nothing Perry Christie and won and he now displays the same fortitude in resigning from the FNM!
I and my family would totally love having individuals as Mr. Chipman to represent them in Parliament!
Firstly, you have a color issue! What gives you the idea that Filipinos are all here legally? i know for a fact that hundreds if not thousands of Filipinos are here working illegally! AND, Filipinos that are here legally have a habit of encouraging and helping other family members to come here to work illegally the same as Haitians do. The result is we actually have whole Filipino families complete with cousins, aunts, and uncles working here, many illegally!
Why the hell do we need university graduate Filipino gardeners, maids and space cleaners?
Secondly, If The Bahamas would simply adapt and apply the immigration laws of a given countries citizens, we wouldn't have any immigration issues. For example, the Haitian constitution forbids ANYONE from obtaining Haitian citizenship unless they are of Haitian lineage. We need to return the favor! And the Philippians will not grant a work permit **under any circumstances** for employment, a Filipino can remotely do. Again, we need to return the favor!!
The Bahamas immigration laws are way past archaic, illogical, and full of loopholes for Haitian nationalist like Fred Smith, Louby Georges, and others to exploit.
Haitians and others now dominate blue-collar jobs while Bahamians have been regulated to soup kitchens begging for food. Entire work crews made up solely of Haitians can be seen all over the Island. I have never seen a Haitian or Filipino in a soup kitchen line!
In addition to seriously cracking down on all illegals in the country, we need to reverse the stupidity of indefinitely issuing work permits to individuals which encourages them to use anchor babies to apply for status.
Hubert Ingraham and Perry Christie totally betrayed the peoples' trust. They are 100% responsible for this Haitian invasion. We now have to get control of this problem and put systems in place to begin reversing the damage.
The Bahamas needs to take a page from the Dominican Republic and copy their formula for resolving their Haitian invasion. It may seem extream, however, Haitians totally refuse to abide by immigration laws unless under force to do so.
We must finally begin doing what is best for The Bahamas and Bahamians before Haitians, Filipinos, and others put more Bahamians out of work and into the soup kitchen lines.
McAlpine is out to lunch **again**! With all the problems facing us more and more daily, this clown can only think about a "National Debate On Gay Civil Unions And Abortion"?
The Bible already settled this conversation. Regardless of how they present it, McAlpine and other liberals will never override biblical principles!
Politicians really need to start conversing with their constituents before opening their mouths and making irrelevant, nonsensical statements that the majority of people could care less about.
We would rather discuss what Chipman and McAlpine think about forming an "All Bahamian Party".
Police Commissioner Anthony Ferguson and Security Minister Marvin Dames can shove their heads deep in the sand and play dumb as much as they like. We all know starting fires are typically what Haitians do whenever they don't get what they want.
Secondly, is it only just a coincidence that murders in the capital immediately spiked after hundreds of undocumented illegal Haitian migrants arrived from Abaco? Usually, police have leads and suspects in custody within hours or a few days of murders. Suddenly this is no longer the case. The police now have no idea who to look for in relation to many of these cold-blooded murders.
The government didn't have enough damn common sense to photograph, fingerprint and document illegals as best they could before setting them loose in Nassau? Did they fear being called inhumane, xenophobic and cruel by Fred Smith and his crew of Haitian loyalists?
Will Fred Smith, Louby Georges, Haitian pastors, and Rights Bahamas group of Haitians step forward and turn in these murderers, Haitian drug dealers, human smugglers, arms dealers, and fraudulent document hawkers?
We know Fred Smith, Louby Georges, and the Haitian pastors know all about these criminals, but there is not a single instance where any of them ever assisted the Bahamas in eradicating these or any Haitian criminal enterprises!
Until these Haitian advocates begin showing loyalty to the Bahamas, they should be totally ignored and censored.
As the U.S issues new damming travel warnings because of the sudden sharp increase of murders, the government better quickly get a handle on the undocumented illegals **"they brought here"** under the guise of humanitarian reasons. Common sense should have dictated these people be placed under protective custody and not simply let loose to potentially cause havoc on an unsuspecting society.
I hear you talking but 20 feet under the Domes is below depth for shallow well water. 50 feet would more than likely be unlimited seawater.
There are many other quick build systems available to withstand a cat5 hurricane. https://www.category-5.com
I think they are ugly. Minnis and crew may have rushed to a conclusion that works but may not be the most practical and aesthetically acceptable solution to the problem.
All most of us care about at this point is that our Abaconian brothers and sisters are properly cared for. It would be an expensive tragedy if the government invested tax-paying Bahamian dollars on these domes and illegal Haitians benefited!

We need an "all Bahamian" party if we're going to move our people forward. There are too many individuals in government with Haitian ancestry.
It is no wonder Haitians are the fastest forward-moving group in the Bahamas.
