expatkz, First of all the onslaught you talk about in the U.S.is a joke. The ratio of illegals in the U.S. is about 3.5 % of their population while here in the Bahamas it is more like 16.5% of our population. We can not afford that ratio. If their shacks where LEGAL we would not remove them, nobody is burning their shack except themselves when their highly unsafe shacks catch fire. Also for your information and if you missed it in the news, nobody TOOK children away from their parents, the children where abandoned and sound alone because their parents had fled and left them. We have humane laws on the books and if these set would follow them we would not have this problem. So please stop saying The Bahamas is the bad guy in this situation, we actually are the ones that are being overrun by a people whose country is a piece of trash. Why not make noise about Haiti, the real problem?

The sip sip is that the fix is already in and the deal is done. Has been for while. I would love to be a fly on the wall to see whose proposal changes after each round to give it the upper hand. I also would love to see how many politicians will have shares in the winning bidder. This is The Bahamas and we all know that our public officials are crookeder than a steep mountain road.

This woman is living in our country because HER country is a a disgrace. She should be thankful The Bahamas has been so generous. These people are an invading force that is trying to take over and destroy our country just as they destroyed their country of origin. Their attitude is disgraceful and should warn Bahamians. I for one will never hire ANY Haitian again. You want to harm my country well Miss you just screwed your people because now I see you as the ENEMY!

Nothing new, that is how the government of The Bahamas roll's. As a taxpayer in this country you have been getting ripped off from day 1.

We need to get rid of the bleeding heart Privy council for Criminal matters and start to hang some of these rabid dogs.

Sir L.O. Pindlings government did the exact same thing in the 80's. I will never forget a certain Haitian fellow cussing his employer and saying he don't need no work permit no more because he get passport for his vote. Politicians only care about the next election!

If the criteria for getting something sorted out is that it is "unfair" then I say it is "unfair" the Bahamian people have to put up with this government. So when is the election?

1) Yes the are people that are breaking the laws of The Bahamas thus they are illegal aliens. 2) The 2.2 million you speak of is what we spend to RETURN these illegals to their country of origin. Now add in the money they remit to their country of origin, the cost to school their children, the cost to give them healthcare, the cost to try and stem their flow into the Bahamas, The cost to try and control their shanty towns (not to mention the environmental cost of said shanty town) and the list of cost to The Bahamas goes on, so your 2.2 million is absurd. The amount of money that the illegal Haitian remits to Haiti helps the Haitian government in many ways. It is injecting money into THEIR economy. Think before you want to berate someones post

The simple fact is Haiti see's the Bahamas as a cash cow. How many millions do you think the illegals send back to Haiti each year from the Bahamas? Haiti and the Haitians are bleeding The Bahamas dry. Why would the Haitian government stop this lucrative business?

Mr Wilson, pigs can fly and I have a bridge to sell you to Lala Land.
