No. You are an idiot. You should apply for permanent residency in China. Bring me your paper to countersign. It would be a pleasure.

Thank God for Bowers !!!
Thank God for Trump !!!
Looks like they are both gearing up to drag this country into the 20th century (no don't even dream of 21st). I would be grateful if they could drag us forward to the year 2000. Im tired of 1859.

Correct. It is amazing how many people think that someone found "not guilty" scammed the system to "get away with their crime."
Amazing as in amazingly ignorant.
Maybr we could reduce the divorce rate by requiring all marriage license applications to be signed by a police officer. Since police officers are never wrong, surely they would know whether the marriage would last.

The US should help us to staff and build a large more moden prison system with proper monitoring and visits by international human rights groups.

They could do this easily by charging a 10% "Export Tax" on all good leaving the US en route to the Bahamas via ship, cargo plane, or even personally.

Do this for one year, save the money on our behalf for one year and the bring in a US contractor to do the work.

Yes prices will go up in our markets, but then what is the cost of freedom and democracy? Priceless.

Even if you don't have to interview, wouldn't you still have to somehow get the Visa stamped into your passport? How can you do that? Would you send it in via DHL, the same way they send it back?

I think it's a nice idea, but at the same time, a visitor visa lasts for ten years and I don't think it's too much trouble to go in every ten years. You have to do the police record and employment letter thing anyway, and like I said above - somehow the visa has to actually physically meet the passport, and your passport expires every ten years too.

Passport replacement is another whole adventure. You can't renew it without getting a birth certificate and all your original affidavits done all over again (hoping the people who remember that history haven't died yet). It's like every ten years you are branded a terrorist.

You can go on a trip to Canada 2 months before your passport expires, for say a week, and when you return to Nassau suddenly 7 weeks later you are automatically a vicious criminal who has no identity and no way to prove your identity and have to go around begging for signatures and affidavits and plead with the Registrar's office to try "find" your birth certificate. Were you born? I'm not so sure. Maybe you weren't. Maybe you would have been better of not to have been? One wonders sometimes.

Thanks to the US Embassy for trying to make our lives at least a little bit easier and hopefully they will keep up the pressure against our Fox Hill gulag.

In addition, I hope nobody goes ahead and makes such a facebook group or page. The laws of libel and defamation are very very strong in this country, and you would only find yourself before the Courts. Don't do it. People can use their own eyes.
It's the philosophy of ONE person making a difference that counts. BE that one person, or else we can all be the suffering many persons.

Yes - but there is no movement, or facebook page/group to expose employers who employ the wrong people, and boycott their businesses. Bahamians need to unite against them, and cut off the money supply. The money supply is the only thing that will work. Instead, Bahamians actually shop in the illegal stores/shops located within shanty towns.
A famous Bahamian politician once said "There is no solution to the Haitian problem because ... Bahamians want to get rid of ALL of the Haitians - except their own Haitian, and everybody has one."
It's like road litter. One person throwing one KFC box out of their car window does not make the entire island look bad. It is 10,000 persons each only throwing ONE piece of rubbish out of their car window that makes the island look bad - and we are programmed to believe that because of that "Me not doing it, won't make any difference."
People need to STOP doing it, and therefore truly making a difference.
Stop the money flow. If you see them in a store, then shop somewhere else.
