excellent!
The Minister must be commended for putting this extraordinary measure together.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Thank you Bahamas Officers,Turks and Uncle Sam.

Its a Catch 22 for every govt. Democratically elected govts parley our birthtighr to attract FDI who come with conditions to drvelop, cheap labour is key component, br it Turks ipslanders for lumber, indians for Crysyal
Palace, Mexicans for PI, Chinese forBshamar. Haitiams for agriculture.
In the latter coupled with this shangrila they going to find ways to evade lke shanties and wid free schooling, medicals zmd gpvt offocials who do not follow constitition and laws facilated growth.
These Haitians are extremely smart people and coupled wid lax Bahamian law enforvement will survive and grow.
Go to the source of the problem fpr the continustion that is the MP. Talking and getting yinna vecation al yuk up aint gon work. Blaming haishuns pdem fer how long aint works. Call the MPs and speak yinna mind.
Our Immigratiom policies need to be followed,
Apart from being colonizrd by the Haitians, we have the money gone through the banks by the Foreign Investors and Bahamians who go to them for loans have profits repatreated to foreign countries an we is left wid?....
Lets also do forensic investogation in Immigration to see how it is one can break the law and be rewatded an change some of the facilating processes that exercerbate the exponential continuous growth.

See...Sheep.?..we all agree....Tal, MadHatter, RealityCheck , on the Haitian rooster winning....so far.

While we vote govts in and out listenkng to all the slogans, on trust, on Bahamisns first, Bahamas for Bahamians. Nationalism, Patriotism, National Pride, everybody since the last 10 years wid a
Bahamian flag on dey suit etcetcetc we have now become a dual language nation. Dual govt signage some places.

Our Bahamian forefathers died in struggle to build a Bahamas for us. Bahamians Couldnt go to school past 14 years old dey came out to work, Bahamisns couldnt go into Banks, Bay st, Bahamians werent worth the same vote as property and a business, got paid 4 shillings a day by Pleaszmgville while others got more, majority voted for one party in 62 but didnt win, Bahamian forefathers parents sacrificed to make ends meet, throw da Mace out, shared robinhood flour cloth bags clothing, whampas shoes....building a nation......and NOW some govt officials wid dey slackness allowing other nations people illegally come here and be Bahamian more than we??
Sure everuone is pissed the Haishuns clearly represent a clear and present danger and they are united and have no intention of leaving.
Its time Bahamians come together to reclaim what our Bahsmian forefathers struggled, sacroficed and died go leave their offspring. If no inhabitant in the shanty cannot say what a whampas is or what robinhoof hood flour bag represents, or slam bam, or Burna road, Cat an Fiddle, Banana Boat, fire engine is or bippy......send them back.
Tell the MPs to stop all the shantytown illegal activities NOW!!

Common sense.
How long has the creme de la creme of the business leaders, been in leaderdhip positions in the Chamber of Commerce been here to figgure on staggering out licences instead of many businesses all made to deal with licemce fees the same time??

The so called treaty perhaps had something to do with
Inagua where the Haitian official had some summer residence and at one time Inagua? had the General Post office.
Mmany Haitians got stuck here when the Abaco farms went bankcrjpt znd the govt even had yo pay electficity bill gor them. Living in the shanty provides cheap labour for the wealthy who are part of the nomenklatura. Its unfair competion for Bahamian labour following the laws outside and it will always be unfair competition.
Something new has to happen to right side yhe ship.
Everyone who flies into the airport looking out the window sees the shanties.
For decades this is going on and nothing seems to be done as new shacks grow outwards.
It would not be surprising to know that these constructions usually done with minimal to get the most shelter or ever use cement casements for cesspits to separate material and if ever a Honey truvk did visit the innermost dtructures to empty cesspits.
Given flow of illegsls from Haiti and bringing disease it is a miracle no tourist catching a disease and taking it to their home country.
The responsibklity for carrying out the law has to lie someshere and those officials be charged for collecting a paycheck and illdgalities continue whlle other govt workers getting laid off.

Disasters such as these are almost inevitable. Epidemics and disease outbreaks are extremely possible. Lack of Buildong construction rules, setbacks, proper electricals, hurricane clips, bolted down plates etc is a must in hurricane zone. Proper sanitation disposal of waste critical not only to inhabitanys but to foraging animals whose meat may be sold to the public.
So many illegal items affecting many but the naton has a duty to assist those suffering.BUT not before those officials responsible for the illegalities yo exist and flourish are brought to trial and the cat o nine punishment still on the Bahamas law books is used for those found guilty.

...not the first time. Overhead walkway or underground passway needed. Recover funds from alleged staff overpay and build one.

No dispute on the culture bred by the leadership...or lack thereof but these leadership must NOW be accountable to someone, and the Boards of Directors Chairmen and Directors and the Minister. Governance have changed we now have a CEO in charge.
There is no excuse for all these years LongIsland now in the 21st century is getting water, and PMH has run out of beds.I know you can add to this list.

Sad. Whats with all the violence against the Mackeys??

The Minister needs to get jungalist and carry on dead bad and correct any shortcomings of his Ministry. Our laws and Constotution are a projecton of ourselves to the world and our laws must be projected as a sovereign nation. Right is right and wrong is wrong.
