I don't see what's so hard to get about this. If you are illegal, you can not be here. Immediately following the storm, deportations were suspended in order to get people to safety. That was humane and in keeping with international standards. At that time, saving lives was of utmost importance. Now that we are in the rebuilding phase, all illegals must leave. While rebuilding, you can not have illegal immigrants here using up resources meant for Bahamians. No where else in the world would that be allowed to happen.
@Chester Cooper, if you can't offer any positive assistance at this time then the best thing to do would be to keep your mouth shut! We the people need solutions from our elected officials, not nonsense!
I had hoped that we would never have to use these funds, but alas, we do! Another 100 million added to our national debt. We were slowly on our way to financial recovery, but now we have another set back. Minister Turnquest and team, the way you get us back on track will determine your future success. I wish you well.
Ok Mr. Attorney General, enforce the law! We the people want less talk and more action. We have two islands to rebuild. We welcome all who are willing to come through the front door legally, but we can not support illegal immigrants here, its too much of a burden on our society!
Senator, what hogwash is this of which you speak. You have got to be kidding me! The government has to deport those illegal immigrants. They have no choice because we can not afford to keep them here. I feel for them and showing compassion is important, but I'm sorry, we can not sustain them.
** "the suspension of the repatriations now can help contribute to our society by paying their taxes and being able to do certain things so that it doesn’t all fall on the government and the tax payers of this country**.”
Bran, while that may sound good on paper, *it ain't gonna happen*! Bahamians rarely want to pay taxes to the government, so imagine these people. They can barely make ends meet and live in poverty. They will continue to milk the system and take whatever they can get. That's not to sound disrespectful, but what illegal immigrant given some type of status will pay taxes?
They will more than likely, take what they make and send it back to their homes.
