Haitians and others from economically depressed countries have already destroyed our way of life!
Legal and illegal predominately Asians and Haitians occupy blue-collar and domestic jobs that Bahamians should have. These people purposely do more work for less than Bahamians thereby totally eliminating Bahamians out of the job market.
Entire groups of Haitians could be found any day in Old Fort, Lyford Cay, Sandyport, Port New Providence, Delaporte Point, Caves Heights, painting, on construction sites, landscaping, etc, while Bahamians are driven to fighting and killing each other trying to get a dollar.
Asians have solidly cornered the domestic sector. These individuals will do multiple jobs housekeeping, babysitting, cooking, landscape, specializing in ass-kissing, and anything else for minimum wage.
Our useless PLP and FNM politicians sold our people out for work permit fees to these blue-collar ex-pats as a means of making money for the treasury, never considering the economic and social damage they would create.
Crime will continue to spiral out of control as more and more Bahamians are forced out of the labour pool into a life of crime for survival.
Thank you PLP & FNM for destroying our once great country with over-employment and "leading" us into this cesspool of 40% unemployment and epidemic crime!
The ex-pat will work for the same wage or even less than a Bahamian, however, the ex-pat will gladly be a butler, housemaid, yardman, babysitter, cook, and especially spineless, brown-nosing, ass kisser!
Ex-pats domestic workers are from countries like the Philippines where the average income is **$250.00 per month.** So earning **$250.00 weekly** in the Bahamas AND living in to them is BETTER than dying and going to heaven.
**not true!** Firstly, these racist foreign **and Bahamian** employers hire an ex-pat FIRST then advertise with the ex-pats qualifications, knowing that no Bahamian or anyone else could apply without having the same qualifications as the ex-pat!
Employers should be made to **"prove why they need"** a maid with 5 languages and whatever else. Why the hell would anyone need a maid that speaks 5 languages in an English-speaking country to clean and make beds? Plenty of these ex-pat maids don't even speak a word of english!
Bahamians are all over the archipelago on islands and cays "living in" with "no day off for weeks on end" so finding someone to live in locally is no problem. Your argument is the typical go-to cop-out non-starter.
The government needs to stop standing around talking bullshyt in the peoples' House and do what needs to be done to train our people for these blue-collar jobs and get rid of all non-essential blue-collar, white-collar, and no-collar, ex-pat employees that are displacing Bahamians in the jobs market!
Filipinos pay $250.00 for 4 weeks of domestic training sponsored by their government which qualifies them to go abroad as a domestic worker. Why can't the Bahamas government implement the same strategy for our people?
Ryan Pinder must have just gotten off the Spanish Wells ferry. This predicament is prevalent throughout the country and especially in the blue-collar domestic workers' segment of the economy which has been allowed to become overwhelmingly dominated by ex-pats.
“The real mischief" lies in the decision that there were no Bahamians qualified to be housekeepers, gardeners, cooks, painters, and space cleaners resulting in 40,000 ex-pats displacing Bahamians for those jobs and forcing our people into begging and lives of crime trying to make ends meet!
John Pinder was on the right track just prior to COVID-19 disruption in identifying and removing unnecessary ex-pat workers.
If the PLP is truly interested in bringing down crime they need to start with solving the huge unemployment problem and put our people back to work!
Fred Mitchell knows better. He can issue 10,000 appeals to American authorities to make travel to the United States visa free for Bahamians all he wants to. The fact is, untold numbers of Haitians holding Bahamian passports have now made travel to the U.S. much more difficult for "real" Bahamians.
Corruption and slackness in the passport office facilitated 1000's of Haitians acquiring Bahamian passports. The U.S. knows only too well that if these Haitians were allowed into the country they will disappear and never return to the Bahamas!
I wouldn't encourage anyone to work for Sandals or any hotel. Their track record proves they don't give a dam about employees and our stupid politicians are so compromised they are powerless to intervene on workers' behalf.
