We can't have it both ways. If we want to be a tourist destination we have to treat tourists with respect,(treating someone with respect does not make you inferior,as some people with psychological issues may believe). If not,let's find other ways to survive. Mind you,it would be nice to have other industries in addition to tourism but all we hear is talk,and talk is cheap. So if anyone is serious about making efforts to diversify our economy let him do it and not talk it.
Nobody suggests that illegal immigrants should stay,just because they may work for a large company. The fact that the lady was set free shows that a mistake was made. A mistake that could have been easily avoided if some people knew how to do their jobs. Also whether we like it or not we depend on tourists. So even if she was illegal,i am sure they could find a way to arrest her without putting on a show that at the end made them look like fools.
We definitely have an illegal immigration problem in our country. Are we however serious in resolving it or we are just impressed with "theatrics"? Let's face it,Bahamians love a good show.
I have read all your paragraphs. However would not you agree that many things in our country happen just to put on a show? Just to show that things are workingwhen in fact they are not? Why the so called "shanty towns" are not raided?
I don't think anyone would be upset over the department doing its job. However the facts should be checked first. Also doing your job includes all illegal immigrants. So let them go to the so called "shanty towns" and do what they did to Atlantis.

Excellent article. They must always find a "scapegoat" to cover their incompetence.
