Do you really believe the vast majority of D - educated Bahamians are capable of doing the kind of calculus you speak of @tetelestai? Suggest you just accept that corrupt governments the world over are prone to mercilessly preying on their country's citizenry by making it a point to keep the masses as uneducated and poor as possible, i.e. very deliberately dumbed-down and impoverished. Those who can, simply flee to other more desirable countries; hence the well known brain-drain problem that has afflicted the Bahamas for decades now. I'm in Montana enjoying the freezing cold ;-)

> No part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights suggests that citizenship is a prerequisite for human rights. Haitian migrants have the right to be properly housed, to access health services and to be educated. Not only is it the Christian thing to do (if we are still insisting The Bahamas is a Christian nation), showing brotherly love - but it is a legal obligation.

I suspect Ms. Wallace would have us believe that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that she refers to somehow trumps the national security interests of the Bahamas and all the related rights of the Bahamian people under their country's very own Constitution. Perhaps Ms. Wallace should explain to the Bahamian people why she believes opening up our borders to thousands and thousands more of Haitians fleeing Haiti (and then granting Bahamian citizenship to the many thousands more of their stateless children) will not jeopardize and severely harm the national security interests of the Bahamas and the fundamental human rights that all Bahamians are entitled to enjoy under their very own Constitution.

Is Ms. Wallace supportive of our immigration laws being vigorously enforced on a sustained basis by roundups and deportations that are not unduly delayed and defeated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that she speaks of? Is she the least bit concerned by the pitiful state of our public education and healthcare systems that have already succumbed to the crushing weight of the ongoing invasion of our country by Haitian nationals who have illegally entered the Bahamas and then proceeded to reproduce at a rabied rate? Is Ms. Wallace ignorant of the many wars that have been fought the world over throughout history (with much violence and blood shed) for the purpose of preserving human rights? Does she somehow consider these wars to have been unnecessary, inhumane or an egregious violation of human rights? It's always good to think in terms of ideal values, but even ideal values come up against the reality of limitations that exist in the real world. And these limitations quite often must be observed for the very sake of preserving the human rights of a citizenry under their own Constitution. It is for this reason we (the Bahamian people) must insist that our immigration laws be aggressively enforced even when doing so offends ideal values to which we aspire.

@twistedtweetybirdie: No Bahamian voter in their right mind would ever again vote for a PLP candidate running in their constituency. The PLP as a political party is corrupt to the core and well beyond any hope of rehabilitation. The vast majority of Bahamians today are for all intents and purposes enslaved to the point of being paupers in their our country thanks to the boundless levels of corruption by the political elite and their cronies within the PLP political party. That ship has sailed and been sunk!

> “We are creating economic opportunities for Bahamians through job creation, through greater ownership and entrepreneurship opportunities and by enhancing the shareholder society,” he (Minnis) said last night.

Who does Minnis think he's kidding? Never has our country had such a grossly incompetent PM - more corrupt, perhaps - but never one so totally inept at governing in the interest of the Bahamian people.

Minnis has demonstrated time and time again that he's only capable of increasing our taxes, our light bills, our food prices and our national debt. Meanwhile the back-room corrupt deals are cut that unjustly benefit and enrich the select few among the political elite, their family members and their cronies. Make no mistake about it: Minnis knows full well that the vast majority of Bahamians are on to him and no longer have any confidence in him whatsoever.

Sebas Bastian's partners are all based in Jamaica. LMAO

Sebas Bastians's partners are all based in Jamaica. LMAO

Carey, Laing and so many others like them are all on Red China's payroll when it comes to their support for the Bahamas joining the WTO to the detriment of the quality and way of life of all Bahamians. Nothing more need be said about these treacherous idiots who are all too willing to sell out our country to Red China's interests for many thousands of dollars placed in their own greedy pockets.

Aahhh yes, the big lending teat ("tit") of the IDB planted on our corrupt political leaders' thirsty lips. Tweedle-Dumb Minnis and Tweedle-Dee Turnquest love doing nothing more than sucking big time on the IDB's bountiful but deadly lending tit. That's their proven definition of governing. LMAO

Oh pleeezzzz....is that the best you can do? Address the issues, not me. Be rest assured I'm not the least bit flattered by all of your attention!

Not to mention that corrupt Tweedle-Dumb Minnis has done nothing to stop the Haitian invasion and just about everything to exacerbate it. The last thing our country needed after Vomit was this most corrupt and incompetent loser of a PM who kisses Sebas Bastian's butt for his supper!
