LOL...the only political leader in this country with the credentials to debate Perry Christie is Hubert Alexander Ingraham. Minnis and McCartney have no legs to stand on. Perry Christie is many things, and one of them is a masterful orator.

I too agree that it seems foolish to have a pedestrian crossing on a major highway like TWD highway. Cars are travelling at high speeds on these roadways, it makes no sense to put people's lives in danger this way. I am very sorry for the mother and her two children and pray to God that they make it.

They do this in New Zealand and Australia where pedestrians are issued tickets for improper use of the road. This is a very good idea, which means it probably won't work here.

Wonder why there was no comment on this article? Oh, I know, because this article actually mentions "praise" for the Bahamian government from an outside entity. How partisan we have become in The Bahamas.

@birdieshrachan

You will be in the minority with this one.

Was wondering when the negative comments would begin. Any good news about the Bahamas or the economy and it must be false or some trick. So sad that partisan politics has caused some of us to be so pessimistic.

And they wonder why Freeport is in the state its in...

I am with all my fellow Bahamian brothers and sisters in saying enough is enough!! We've simply had enough of this Haitian onslaught that's been besieging our country for far too long!! How can any Bahamian open up their mouth and defend these people is beyond me. The argument that their treatment has been poor and inhumane? I say where is the proof! The argument that children have been separated from their families, again I say where is the proof, when these same family members and parents were the ones who ran off to save their own skin and left the children abandoned and alone. Like one other poster said, we need to wake up as Bahamians. We are being overrun in our own country and we don't even realise it.

Our forefathers fought too hard to give us a land where we can call home and enjoy the freedoms and prosperity that comes with it - for us to just sit idly by and watch our very borders come under constant attack from these criminals. Yes, that's what they are, criminals. Anything done illegally makes you a criminal. No one is saying that they can't come here, but do it right and come through the front door. And if it take too long, I say so what. You expect to come here illegally by whatever means and expect to get citizenship overnight, enjoy the resources of the land, what is the right of true Bahamians? I say the devil is a liar from the pits of hell!! I say go through the process and get it the right way, however long it may take. And if you get it, good for you - atleast you would've earned it and done it by the books. And don't even get me started on illegals who because they born here believe that they are automatically citizens. If ya daddy illegal and ya ma illegal, just cuz you born here don't make you a Bahamian. Its as simple as that.
