Does anyone have statistics on exactly how many people were rehabilitated at the "Bahamas Department of Corrections"?
I have never heard of any individuals that were in any way "corrected" by the prison system. Alternatively, I know of many instances where people went to prison for minor offenses and came out of prison to commit serious crimes.
The UNHRC said refugees should not be detained or punished for unlawfully entering a country? So they expect us to just open the gates and allow so-called asylum seekers to enter at will?
The folks at the U.N. have to be on some very high-quality magic mushrooms to dream up this sort of nonsense and expect countries to agree!
The Dominican Republic's policy dealing with Haitians who had their birthright citizenship stripped by a Constitutional Court ruling in 2013 should be followed to the letter!
The court decided that only people born in the country to **Dominican parents or legal residents can be citizens**. The ruling was applied retroactively to all people born to ex-pats in the republic from 1929 to 2010.
The Dominicans felt it necessary to adopt such strict policies to protect their country for their citizens regardless of the displeasure and loud objections of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Successive Bahamian government's behavior of painstakingly protecting irregular migrants to any lengths instead of supporting the rights of Bahamians points to "a criminal plot" underway "to change the demographic makeup of the Bahamas".
This United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees article is more than likely in collusion with the PLP and FNM as a tool to open the floodgates for Haitians to migrate to the Bahamas.
The Bahamas is already overwhelmed with Haitians to the point of being outnumbered. As Haitians like to say "There are more of them than us". We are now facing a national security issue and simply CANNOT support any more migrants
The Haitian dilemma cannot be resolved without international boots on the ground intent on removing the corrupt elite and crooked political class that caused the mess and actually controlling drug dealing, human smuggling, weapons dealing, gangs, and any number of nefarious activities.
At best the Bahamas can agree for U.N. agencies to use a Southern Island in the Bahamas as a transit location ***for Haitians seeking migration and asylum to other countries.***
This guy and all the trans-gender others need psychiatric help. His pretending to be a woman does not make him a female any more than my pretending to be rich makes me wealthy!

Arawak Cay fish fry is supposed to be a "Bahamian experience" too, but it has overwhelmingly become a little Port Au Prince, Haiti!
On innumerable occasions, we refer guests asking about Bahamian food to the fish fry and after visiting Arawak Cay the guests come back asking what language do Bahamians speak.
It is infuriating to visit Arawak Cay because all one hears is Creol spoken throughout the fish fry.
Businesses at Arawak Cay were initially all Bahamian. What happened? How did the government allow original vendors to sublease their businesses to Haitians? What kind of resort experience are we trying to provide for tourists?
Taxi drivers are among the biggest thieves in the country! These people have no scruples and couldn't care less about tourism.
Taxi drivers are on the front line of visitor experiences. In far too many instances tourists arrive at a hotel with a negative perception of the Bahamas because of unprofessional, crooked taxi drivers.
I don't know how the government intends on policing this group of pirates, but something has to be done with taxi and jitney drivers, and immediately.
There has to be a written fee structure published for taxis to abide by, and anyone caught overstepping the boundaries should have their license revoked. Either we are going to be serious about tourism or not.
There is no room for wrist-slapping and multiple warnings. The bad apples must be weeded out as quickly as possible.
360-degree jackass Bell must be fresh off the mail boat. He needs to stop standing around saber-rattling and **ACT**!
Bell warned illegal Haitians to leave and the dam Haitians turned around and invited all their relatives and friends to come and join them in the Bahamas.
Persons advertising positions at low salaries locally with all sorts of ridiculous requirements attached and then hiring a non-Bahamian at a significantly higher salary, plus all kinds of perks has been the norm for decades.
It is common to find Asians and Latinos employed as domestic employees that do not speak one word of English. The government is sending a message loud and clear that Bahamians are too stupid to fill domestic jobs!
Mr. Bell should explain to the nation how it is possible that Asians and Latinos that speak no English are employed doing jobs Bahamians can do.
When the PLP came to power in 1967 there was over-employment. Bahamians had the luxury of having two or even three jobs if desired. The PLP decided the country was underpopulated and as many of them were and still are of Haitian heritage, opened the floodgates encouraging Haitians to migrate to the Bahamas.
The construction industry was the backbone of Haitian infiltration, putting Bahamians out of work, and a $250.00 repatriation bonus for Haitians was the incentive for Haitians caught illegally in the Bahamas to return with even more family and friends.
The government then allowed Asians and Latinos to dominate the domestic industry, causing even more unemployment for Bahamians.
The impact of these immigration policies of the PLP and FNM is double-digit unemployment for decades which forced Bahamians to lives of crime for survival and the high serious crime rate we now suffer as a country.
Free National Movement deputy leader Shanendon Cartwright is making a bigger ass of himself more frequently than ever. Any jackass can stand around pointing fingers and talking crap.
Mouth could say anything. Why doesn't Shanendon Cartwright present his crime-fighting to the people? If the FNM had any such plan, they certainly kept it under wrap during their tenure.
They need to stop the ridiculous policy of locking up people with small amounts of so-called "dangerous drugs" and get all the petty drug offenders and others with minor offenses out of prison to make room for these hardened murderers.
