That is not quite correct Islandboy242242 - this money is to pay for the legal costs of STB in successfully fighting to have Nygard held in contempt for violating an injunction and continuing to dredge. He was found guilty and has yet to be sentenced. Dis just the gratuity... many more consequences coming his way. It is safe to say that unless he has lost his mind, he will not disrespect the court again and the environment out there is now safe.

The government's own study said 95% of the people in shanty towns are either Bahamian citizens or have a legal right to be here. You might want to temper your mouth-drooling, knuckle-dragging ethnic hatred with some actual facts.

The government says that a great deal of over the hill has been built illegally, just like the shanty towns, should Bain and Grants Town also be demolished? Or is that only reserved for the ethnically inferior among us?

Our lifeblood is tourism. And the international community's opinion of us affects tourism. "Who cares?"... idiot.

The rights enshrined in the the constitution apply to every human that finds him or herself in this jurisdiction automatically and immediately. Among those rights is the right to be treated as innocent until proven guilty. So no one can be deported until they have been proven before the courts to have violated the Immigration Act. The government does not get to grant those rights, that's not how it works. And deportation without a court order is illegal

70,000? Really? Where you get your numbers from?

The government says many homes in Bain and Grants Town are illegally built. Should they bulldoze those too?

Utter alarmist, insecure racist nonsense. Illegal migration has been going on for more than 50 years in its current form and there are 7000 people living in shanty towns. Out of almost 400,000. They are really about to take over??? Give me a break. Its just a way to justify hatred of a group you want to see 'cleansed' from the country because of where they are from.

What are you people talking about? What illegal immigrants that built illegally on the land? The government's own study says that only 5% of shanty town residents are illegal immigrants. So 95% are citizens, residents or work permit holders. Go back where? And as far as building illegally is concerned, the lawsuit points out that Over the Hill has the same challenges. Should we bulldoze Bain and Grants Town too? Please try not to let your ethnic hatred run away with you and actually use your brains.
