He is not the owner. Not for long anyway. He seems to have just figured out that the contractors and the government are friends. No one is on his side.
TalRussell - leave the reporter alone. At least some people have the courage to put their name above what they write, unlike all of us here typing under the safety of assumed names. We are cowards by comparison to Khrisna.
ispeakthetruth - can you prove the "massive strain" being placed on the country? She is not the only one who likes to speak in the absence of any facts. I am not saying illegal immigration is not a strain, just that I have never seen a single official report saying this is the case, and to what extent. All that is just anecdotal evidence, that may or may not be true. The only reports that I have seen actually suggest the opposite - that the bogey man of "illegal immigration" is used by the authorities in the Bahamas as an excuse, to justify woefully substandard health care and education services, which would be disasters in any case - illegals or no illegals. Far too much is is just taken for granted on this issue. No facts, no stats, just noise.
licks2 - how you arrive at the conclusion that we are toeing the line? The IACHR presidents said: "We have responded and agreed to a hearing out of a legitimate concern to interrogate an immigration situation that we believe may have an important impact on human rights. That is our only concern here today." She also asked a series of questions that The Bahamas simply cannot answer, considering its current immigration activities - https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=92…
All those defending Gray are delusional. If the magistrate needed advice, he should have sought it from the Office of the Attorney General, the Chief Magistrate, the Chief Justice, etc. Never from his boss. That is a straight up, clear, conflict of interest, whatever was said.
I agree banker. It is very telling that they have left Mitchell way out on the branch by himself on this one. I think they are biding their time, willing to take credit if the policy prevails, but ready to jump ship if it sinks.
