Hang in there Mr. Bain, you have the support of the majority of Bahamians.
What we are witnessing in Haiti today started many years ago when drug dealers and gangs became the people's leaders by default as the government became almost totally nonfunctional and the people began relying on drug dealers and gangs for everyday necessities.
Corruption brought Haiti to where it is today and nothing short of rooting out that corruption is ever going to lead to any measurable meaningful change.
The same systemic corruption among the elite class in the Bahamas also now has us fast-tracked to becoming another Haiti! Indeed serious crime and murder are now the norms, and the government has no idea how to stop the carnage. In essence, the government is already past the stage of losing control of crime.
PRIME Minister Philip “Brave” Davis and caricom can meet and discuss Haiti until hell freezes over, regardless, Haiti and the Bahamas could never change until corruption and the unimaginable graft among our leaders and their cohort of leeches are rooted out.
Singapore was in the exact same position until they decided to get serious and "make corruption a crime" to enable them to prosecute crooked politicians and the elite group of leeches that were destroying the entire country.
The Bahamas needs to follow Singapore's example however, this can only be achieved if "we the people" stand up in mass against stifling systemic corruption and unimaginable graft among leading crooked politicians and their supporting cast of leeches, friends, family, and lovers.
PRIME Minister Philip “Brave” Davis has been dancing around this issue for quite some time but he never admits to Haiti's biggest problem which is the government and the elite class's greed and systemic corruption that is the real cause of the mess known as Haiti!
They are reaping exactly what they sowed, and the only way out is to put the well-known political and elites in prison where they belong and restructure the governance to avoid the recurrence of the massive graft among "friends, family, and lovers" that caused the economy to collapse into the hands of gangs.

**Nothing tangible will come of the caricom focus on Haiti** because they don't have the gravitas to call a spade a spade and acknowledge corruption is the main issue that destroyed Haiti and has the Bahamas on the same slippery slope and finds ways and means to deal with the corrupt political and elite class in Haiti and the Bahamas.
Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson needs to be seriously looked into!
Haitians, Haiti, Haitians, Haiti, Haitians, Haiti, why is solving Haitians and Haiti's problems our governments' number one priority?
The Dominican Republic is joined at the hip with Haiti, it has the biggest problem with illegal Haitian migrants, and is logistically the best choice to stage help for Haiti, so it should be the one taking the lead to help Haiti. Why the Bahamas?
Our country is in crisis on many fronts. Serious crime is off the chain, rampant and worsening unemployment, inadequate health care, runaway inflation, uncontrolled school gang violence, poor standard of education, seriously overwhelmed social services, etc.
Were these matters discussed with Mr. Trudeau, the French or the U.N.?
We need to change the focus and narrative from Haitians, Haiti, Haitians, Haiti, Haitians, Haiti, to Bahamians, Bahamas, Bahamians, Bahamas, Bahamians, Bahamas, Bahamians, Bahamas!
PM Davis is throwing this, death threats, and anything else including the kitchen sink against the wall in a desperate attempt to change the narrative away from the Haitian invasion!
Your feeble efforts cannot work Brave because our country is so inundated with Haitians they are the first people Bahamians run into every day and all damn day!
We see and hear more Haitians than Bahamians in most of our country.
Pindling must have seen this coming prompting him to say **"if Bahamians are not willing to fight for their country, they don't deserve to have it."**

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What intelligence was collected from these illegal migrants?
Who financed their journey? What contacts do they have in the Bahamas? Who was their contact in Haiti/Cuba?
These people are broke. How did they acquire funds for the journey? What is the government doing to dissuade Haitians/Cubans already in our country from engaging in financing and facilitating human smuggling?
Illegal Cubans, Haitians, Asians, Latinos, etc' only keep risking their lives coming to the Bahamas because they have family and friends here helping them find under-the-table employment here.
To stop the tsunami of illegals **arriving dailey** the government only simply needs to stringently enforce the laws of hiring illegals. Haitians do not go to Long Island because Long Islanders do not employ Haitians. Likewise, they would stop coming here if they knew no one would hire them.
