Welcome to the club! The Bahamas has a "functioning government" and also cannot care for our own people right now, so we certainly better not be dupped into trying to care for illegal Haitians!
Regardless of Haiti's political and social problems, The Bahamas and tax-paying Bahamians **are not responsible** for their illegal migrants.
These people were an unsustainable burden on the country long before Dorian, and the situation is now quadruply magnified. Minnis and crew better get this right and immediately begin repatriating illegals at all cost before they cause more irreparable damage to the country!
I cannot believe you people are arguing among yourselves about biblical interpretations and allowing Minnis to get away with directing the narrative away from successive government stupidity.
What Is Truly A "Near Unbearable Wound To The Country" is Pindling, Ingraham, Christie and now Minnis are the architects of the shanty towns illegal inhabitants and now we taxpayers have to foot the bill of $100's of millions to house, feed, and care for them! It would have made far more sense and cost the country far less to have borrowed funds to humanely round up and repatriate illegals. The Dominican Republic successfully did it, and so can we if Minnis had the fortitude!
To add insult to injury, the international press looking for sensationalism is giving Bahamians and the Bahamas two serious black eyes by focusing mainly on the shantytown pile of rubble and depicting its former inhabitants as "Bahamians" not illegal Haitian migrants.
This inaccuracy has to be clarified if tourism is to rebound sooner rather than later. The minister of tourism needs to find the fortitude to address this misconception and be man enough to declare to the international press that those photos, people and destroyed communities being flashed across the globe every 20 minutes on every TV station are not bahamian but "illegal haitian migrants & their shantytown communities"!
Being politically correct is one thing, but for our government to continue being politically stupid to the detriment of the entire country is just asinine!
Same as PM Minnis, US Senator Marco Rubio is purposefully refusing to face the fact that undocumented illegal haitians are 90% recipients of all relief donations.
Donald Trump is correct. However, he too didn't have the gonads to identify illegal Haitians as the main threat preventing Bahamians ease of entry to the U.S.
From a humanitarian viewpoint, illegal Haitians must indeed be helped, followed by repatriation. Minnis cannot possibly be so stupid to believe illegals will register for his "tent city-dwelling" initiative. Not one illegal Haitian will set foot anywhere near tent cities!
It is no coincidence that murders and other crimes have already spiked since Minnis brought in 1000's of undocumented Haitian illegals. The stupid government didn't even have enough sense to fingerprint these illegals before setting them free to terrorize Nassau!
Asinine stupidity continues to be the order of the day with the government.
Every time the government changes one of the very first initiatives of the newly elected government is to throw $100M to BEC for power upgrades. Then comes the promise of no power cuts for the upcoming summer season.
This shuffle, bob & weave routine is always followed by power cuts, brownouts, and blackouts throughout the summer months with absolutely no account of what happened to taxpayers $100M!
The FNM and PLP take us for fools. However, let me remind them, he who laughs last, laughs best.
Illegal Haitians will not register for tent city dwellings out of fear of deportation. They will relocate shanty towns in Abaco and Freeport, and disappear in Nassau shanty towns, turning back to crime for survival and cause havoc in the capital city the likes that have never been seen!
The FNM and PLP are 100% responsible for this illegal Haitian mess and the coming onslaught crime wave that will shock the nation in the short term.
Trump has it right! Illegals are not just "foreigners in our country", they are lawbreakers from day one, everything they do for survival is also illegal, and should they be treated as such!
Nassau is already facing an acute unemployment issue and simply cannot afford to absorb thousands of illegal migrants.
Anyone with half a brain knew this situation was inevitable, it was a totally preventable disaster just waiting to happen. Unfortunately, the PLP and FNM are incapable of seeing beyond the tips of their shoes.
We better come up with **two new political parties** fast, or we can kiss the Bahamas as we know and love it goodbye!
We just can't get a break! From Pindling to Ingraham, to Christie and now to Minnis, every prime minister to date has catered to Haitians at the expense of Bahamians.
Now we are totally inundated with illegals in Nassau who we all know will not find employment and will have to turn to crime for survival.
The PLP and FNM created this mess against the wishes of the electorate. It is about time we demand our voices are heard before the PLP and FNM finish destroying what's left of our country!
