PRIME Minister Sheriff Dr. Hubert Minnis announced plans to accommodate students from Dominica displaced by Hurricane Maria as the first step in a series of moves to provide aid to the island nation is unquestionably the right thing to do!
Unlike illegal Haitian migrants that sneak into our country and become unwelcomed parasites and an unmanageable threat to national security, displaced Dominican students and adults are **"legal invited guest with open arms"** to our country.
The vast majority of Bahamians have no problem helping our Commonwealth brothers and sisters in their greatest hour of need to **"lawfully migrate"** to our country for as long as need be and willingly put our hands in our pockets to assist these people as best we could.
Puerto Rico although in a dire fiscal position themselves, set a fine example after hurricane Irma by reaching out with the little they had to assist sister Island nations and the Bahamas should emulate them by doing all we can to assist hurricane-ravaged sister Commonwealth countries.
PM Sheriff Minnis is to be wholeheartedly applauded and supported for this initiative.
We, as a people should be extremely grateful for having being spared the devastation of hurricanes Irma and Maria, and surely must easily appreciate what happened to Dominicans could well have happened to Bahamians and the shoe could have been on the other foot!
I welcome **ALL Dominicans** and hope they find solace in the Bahamas during this very difficult time.
**@ Banker** ... Ha! How quickly things have evolved for Haitians "welcome" to Montreal.
In a few short months with over 500 Haitians illegally crossing into Canada daily, **more than ten thousand migrants have walked across the border this year**. This is totally unsustainable and the country is buckling under the pressure. Canadians are now seriously demanding Trudeau get a handle on the situation!
Canadians complain "these people very first act in Canada was to break our laws."
Similar to what Haitians do in the Bahamas with anchor babies, they use a loophole in the law. This agreement has simply led aspiring refugees to cross into Canada illegally and **circumvent their immigration rules.**
It is truly sad and disheartening to see the plight of Haitians, however, we cannot allow them to take the Bahamas and Bahamians down to Haiti's level destroying us too. We did not cause Haiti's problems and certainly cannot held responsible for the well being of Haiti's people!
Please tell us the countries where legalized Haitians ever became "Real patriotic tax paying citizens" and why you feel they will uncharacteristically do so here!
**an anudda ting**..... This donkey said, "we need to have an adult conversation and Bahamian people have got to grow up and understand"?
Especially egregious and insulting to thinking peoples intelligence is that Jeff Lloyd has the audacity to feel he has the superiority to speak so condescendingly to "we the people"!
It is painfully obvious from his tone when speaking many times since being elected, that Jeff Lloyd has exposed himself as the kind of "dictator politician" we just voted OUT of our lives!
Donkey Lloyd then tries to pull a **"Perry Christie smoke and mirror special"** referring to "Our Education act is very clear, that's the Act, that's the law, all persons", however, he conveniently did not mention the Immigration Act (1967), pertaining to the arrest, detention, and deportation of irregular migrants, the imposition of criminal sanctions for status-related violations Act and the law regarding all persons found residing illegally shall be detained and deported!
We the people simply demand adherence to the law. Illegals and their offspring are to be apprehended, detained and deported. Children of illegals born in the Bahamas can apply for some status in the Bahamas at 18yrs of age....**from haiti.**
This would greatly alleviate the obvious national security risk we face, and resolve "oppressed, marginalized, and ostracized feelings" of these people. They all speak fluent Creole as a first language, love Haiti more than they could ever love the Bahamas or Bahamians, have great respect for their Haitian flag and culture and deserve to live amongst people they respect, understand and love.
Secondly, I call on PM Sheriff Minnis to fast-track the promised parliamentarian recall bill to be tabled in the HOA forthwith! Thereby allowing this democratically elected government to deepen our democracy by having the electorate voice their opinion at the polls on this matter.
Jeff Lloyd and Brent Symonnett are acting contrary to the wishes of the majority of the electorate regarding this vexing issue. I submit they are first to be recalled and replaced by individuals sensitive to needs and desires of the **taxpaying electorate** that are forced to support these people while we ourselves suffer and cannot make ends meet!
**STFU!** People like you who are financially secure, sitting comfortably in gated communities or behind tall walls with 24/7 security have **never been negatively affected by illegal immigrants!**
You **CAN NOT** comprehend the plight of average Bahamians competing for mere survival from what little the PLP and FNM left of our country for our people and children.
**Nobody "hates Haitians" as a people.** We do hate illegals of any nationality that negatively affect our quality of life. Illegal Haitians just happen to be by far the largest ethnic group, worse offenders causing the biggest disparities in the Bahamas.
You simply cannot "get it" because your insular and cannot "feel it!".......**S-T-F-U**
Jeff Lloyd is headed in the wrong direction and needs to "grow up" and smell the shanty towns!
"we the people" must stand against this move which would unquestionably encourage a new avalanche of illegals with children in tow for Bahamians to support.
Haitians, in particular, may feel oppressed, marginalized, and ostracized, however, these "feeling" are of their own making because they have absolutely no respect for Bahamian law, are unable to assimilate, control arms, human smuggling, and drug dealing, live in a totally parallel society and are a drain on the countries resources at every level.
If the government would stop pussyfooting around with these people, round up and send all of them and their illegal parents back to Haiti and cause them to reside in Haiti until 18 years old to apply for status, it would send a strong message for others that the anchor baby path to illegally staying in the Bahamas is over.
Jeff Lloyd needs to "grow up" and understand that we are sick and tired of successive governments passing the buck, dodging the biggest problem in the country and giving us the bill to support these illegal parasites!
former Education Minister Jerome Horn Nosed Fitzgeralds' hands are as clean as diarrhea soiled toilet tissue!
This arrogant, bad Junkanoo dancing pirate is the competing most reprehensible individual associated with **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder with Allyson "Da Witch" Maynard Gibson.
A forensic audit of the ministry of education might reveal the whereabouts of any number of millions!
Most Bahamians eagerly wait to see Jerome's bad Junkanoo dance integrated with the Bank Lane Shuffle.

If the Bahamas were devastated by an "Irma" who would be forced to foot the bill for taking care of tens of thousands of illegals?
