Don't blame Dr. Minnis, he was under strict orders by Michale Scott, Holoweskos, and the rest of the white knights that REALLY ran the country.

SP says...

@ deddie.....To make such a stupid statement you have to be one of them. Anyone with half a brain knows the lack of jobs in our country is mainly due to low-skilled migrants taking jobs that undereducated Bahamians should have!

Haitians, Asians, Latinos, and others are here literally by the tens of thousands occupying jobs that **should be protected for undereducated Bahamians**.

Why do we allow Haitians, Asians, Latinos, and others to occupy domestic jobs while Bahamians starve?

No Haitians, Asians, Latinos, and others should be employed in any positions that a Bahamian can fill.

Politicians have lost their way a long time ago and obviously don't give a dam about the welfare of Bahamians!

This must and will change in the very short term.

SP says...

Mr. Farquharson and the Department of Labour could facilitate 20,000+ jobs if they had the balls to address the domestic employment sector and train Bahamians for these easy-to-learn jobs.

How anyone could expect to move to the 6th most expensive country in the world and find cheap domestic or any cheap labour at all is one of the most unreasonable things our stupid politicians continue to allow.

Filipinos utilize a $250.00 government-sponsored loan program to take a short course in domestic work that qualifies them to apply for domestic jobs all over the world.

Mr. Farquharson and the Department of Labour need to focus on training Bahamians to fill the thousands of domestic jobs now occupied by Asians and Latinos.

SP says...

Lowest hanging fruit my ass. Your Haitians are the single biggest parasites in the Bahamas and Turks Islands!

The Grand Bahama Port Authority and the I-group in Mayaguana did not enter the country illegally, plunder every public resource, or steal the chances of the average Bahamian to make a living.

You Haitians have broken every law in the Bahamas with impunity thanks to political corruption, destroyed the way of life for untold thousands of Bahamians, and now want to play the victim.

Time longer than rope. You Haitians have long since run out of rope with Bahamians and now you are out of time!

Could it be these supposed "intelligent" Bahamians that always shouting support for Haitians but never support our own people are **"not our people"?**

Equality Bahamas director Alicia Wallace claims that the Haitian migrant community is “systematically targeted, scapegoated and blamed” for a range of issues that result from white supremacy, capitalism, and colonialism is 100% pure steaming horse nanny.

The Haitian migrant community makes themselves targets because they are the single largest group of migrants contributing to Bahamians suffering unemployment, inadequate healthcare, poor education, and shortages of social services. Their way of living is culturally unacceptable, (very nasty), and other social ills!

Whereas Ms. Wallace is correct that everyone needs a place to live and has the right to legal protection, everyone is also accountable to be subjected to the letter of the law and processes, all illegal migrants from anywhere automatically compromise themselves by entering the country illegally in the first instance. Everything these people do in the country is in breach of the letter of the law because they have no right to be here, and they should be treated likewise.

It is beyond ludicrous to suggest illegal migrants should be treated equally to individuals that went through the proper processes to enter a country. If this were so, why would anyone bother to do things properly?

Under the enormous cost and strain of supporting illegals, The Bahamas is well on the way to buckling and becoming another failed state as is Haiti, and for the exact same reasons. Systemic corruption, mass unemployment, lack of health care, inadequate education, poor infrastructure, shortage of social services, out-of-control serious crime, etc.

Illegals, firstly Haitians because of their huge numbers are the biggest of offenders, are making life unbearable for Bahamians. Low-skilled jobs that should be reserved for undereducated Bahamians have been occupied by Haitians, Asians, Latinos, and others leaving crime as the sole solution for survival.

I stand with Bahamians! The Bahamas needs to purge itself of **ALL** illegals.

social Services Minister Obie Wilchcombe is so far out of touch with reality he actually believes “This is very good. People who used to get **$84** for instance will now get like **$100**, so we’ve been able to slowly move it up and we’re very satisfied that since last year we’ve been able to now effectively make it happen,”.

What the hell can anyone get in the food store to sustain themselves and GOD forbid their children with $100.00 a month? Obie Wilchcombe is a Looney Tunes cartoon character at best.

First, these government clowns need to get rid of ALL nonessential blue-collar ex-pat workers and allow properly trained Bahamians to have these jobs!

The domestic training in the Philippines cost $250.00 and is sponsored by a government loan program. Why can't we do the same thing for our people?

Secondly, for those of you supporting the Filapino invasion and dominance of the domestic market and trying to justify it because of low wages, these people are protected by the minimum wage laws of the Bahamas.

Thirdly, why would someone expect to move to the 6th most expensive country in the world and expect to find low-waged employees? This is 1000% beyond unreasonably unrealistic, stupid!

SP says...

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is just more hot air. We can't believe the government is remotely serious until we see them implement the most important step to stopping illegals from coming here by prosecuting people for hiring illegals as a the main deterrent.

SP says...

police Commissioner Clayton Fernander’s policing plan reads like the foundation of a police state.

Hopefully "this time" the police crackdown on crime isn't simply harassment of law-abiding citizens to give the appearance of crime prevention.

Crime statistics will be the barometer of the effectiveness of the Commissioners plan.

SP says...

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Not one single inclination that the government will put an immediate end to the illegal migrant problem by severely prosecuting anyone found hiring illegals.

Just plenty of talk and promises for fools.
