Wow - Duppy - I thought you was against VAT???? Don't you realize you havin to pay VAT to educate all these foreigners?
How about list the names of some Bahamians in schools in the USA without student visas? I know I needed mine, and had to pay for it too.
These policies need to come into force along with many many more like them to flush these parasites out, or make them pay like citizens do for the things they consume.
Otherwise, we should order the Defense Force to simply go around house to house and KILL all Bahamians in cold blood, and turn the country over to anyone who wants to come here and take our country from us. Let us all just commit suicide or otherwise die or go away and leave it to them. That is in effect what is happening now. We need to choose to survive or not.
First, the policy says nothing about Haitians and Jamaicans - it mentions children of immigrants or foreigners or any country.
Second, if you can't put your hands on $125, you shouldn't have any children. What are you feeding these children? Food that doesn't cost money? What store can I get some from? What medicine are you giving them? Free medicine? Where can I get that? Clothes? etc.
Children cost money. They are not just the leftovers or biproducts of sex. The value of human life needs to be elevated. Don't just breed like dogs in the street and then say you can't find $125 to help the country that you wish to live in operate and provide the services that you consume!!
These people are thoughtless, lack responsibility, and careless.
Wake up. Children are not free. You are responsible for people's lives. Take that seriously.
It's either $125 for permits, or $1.25 for condoms. Your choice.
I must give credit to Mr. Miller for admitting a mistake. It takes a big man to do that. Like that old Purdue Chicken commercial used to say "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken."
Mr. Knowles you don't need more personnel. You need more technology which is quite inexpensive. Infrared beams that send a signal if broken, video cameras, motion sensors, but especially the beams. The double beams are the best.
A guardhouse with monitor screens, and 2 guys per shift with 2 golf carts (in case one is broken) and some paint ball guns, radios, and phones.
Somebody like me would never get a contract for security of such a place, because the govt and owners really don't want the culprits caught. Something else is going on here. Don't know what, but it just doesn't make any sense.
No, Economist. It is not xenophobia I was discussing, but homophobia. My point was that if Mr. Mitchell is gay (and I say IF because I have never been in his bedroom like most Bahamians claim to have gone), that it should not matter regarding his potential as a PM. If he were PM I would be happy for him to work on making this country better for me to live in, and I would not want to install spy cameras in his home.
As for the xenophobia you mention, I found the following definition: "Xenophobia is the unreasoned fear of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange. "
Our so-called xenophobia about illegal immigrants in this country is not xenophobia because it is not "unreasoned." If you drive by any of the shanty towns, you will see one reason. If you are in the area where a crowd of them are speaking and refusing to use English, you will hear the reason. If you go to pay for your child to be in private school, because of the crime levels in the public schools, your wallet will feel the reason. And as the economy continues to go down due to the need for VAT and other higher govt fees to pay for "free" clinics and schools for immigrants and as a result you can no longer afford to buy the kinds of foods you are used to - but are more and more forced to live on "breadbasket items", you will taste the reason.
Therefore, it cannot be xenophobia - because it is not unreasoned. It is a palpable fear, demonstrated to be based on tangible results over many years now.
These particular immigrants are like the Muslims in France and England and other countries in Europe. They do not wish to be European. They only wish to come to Europe and set up their own way of life there, taking up more and more square miles every year until Europe is simply an extension of the middle east. They do not want a better life. They come claiming hardships in their own land, hunger, war, disease, unequal rigths for women, whatever. They make the U.N. feel sorry for them and say "Oh, can't we help these poor people?" The answer is NO we cannot. Because they do not want help. They want to live HERE exactly the way they live THERE. If they want to live that way, they can do it quite well in their own country and save the fuel for the trip.
They don't want to be Bahamians. They want to be Haitians in the Bahamas. That is why they call themselves haitian-Bahamians. That is why they come out in full force to celebrate Haitian Flag Day. That is why they got our Govt to create Majority Rule Day on Jan 15th to remind us that our time remaining in charge of this country is very limited - because soon they will be the majority, and they will rule.

Symonette trying to secure the illegal Haitian vote in 2017, that's all this is.
Too bad for him, there won't be a Bahamas for him to be a ruler of by then. Like the rest of us, he will follow orders from Port au Prince.

I thought the FNM wanted the bank cleaned up??????????????????????????
The culprits are now being fired, and still they complain?
Do they instead want them to start hiring people straight out of Fox HIll Prison? Would that satisfy the FNM ?

Yes, Mr. Christie has a big decision to make. Does he want the Bahamas to be taken over by Haiti or by China.
That's a tough call.
May I suggest a coin toss ?
