I"m not sure why the hysyeria. they can't enter unless they have a bahamian visa. once their business is done, you ensure they leave. is the fear that we cant track them once they are here?
Gov't needs to be careful with this.. US Gov't now using economic pressure to have their way, so we are vulnerable. besides, what other non-first world country you know whose citizens can enter US using a police certificate? stop that and half the bahamas cant travel.

i guess they wanted them to come to work and not call sick one day a week. happy to see somebody trying to maintain a standard.

how many years you all say we have been independent? this article suggests otherwise.

its been decades now... we have to accept the limitations of our ability.

i think the burdened taxpayers would like more details not just the end result. i recall former PM Minnis crying about the accident prone RBDF and i assume he knows why he made his statement at the time.

i'm not sure a UB degree would be worth the paper its written on outside the country without some kind of internationally recognized accreditation. how is this any different from ISO standards for business? Strachan shouldn't let nationalist views cloud good judgement.

i dont support evicting members. they are put there by the people and ONLY the people who put them there should have the power to move them. similarly, i dont support members switching parties as they wish. in essence, they steal your vote by false pretense doing that.

this is a commendable socialist program but funding it means that after 52 years post independence, we need to start separating the sheep from the goats. so burdensome SOEs have to be privatized and their subsidies used here instead.

This whole thing (as reported publicly) waa a spectacle to witness. right now pilots from Jet Blue and British Airways are flyimg into the Bahamas proving that pilots cross borders yer these people argue they only want a bahamian exam. i guess they only plan to fly in the Bahamas and stay out of Colombia, Mexico or Central America where they might encounter volcanic ash which they will know nothing about.

We bahamians live in a fantasy world.. the people are broke , bankrupt.. how you think you gonna get paid? i know what the plan is most likely.. govt, you pay us.
