There is nothing courageous about disparaging Bahamians, in fact it's very easy to condemn Bahamians because no one speaks up for the poor Bahamian who is affected by the selfish decisions made by elites and well off Bahamians under the guise of humanity. A courageous article would have addressed the powers not be, and not used personal opinions to ridicule the struggling masses for not welcoming the very people that are steadily decreasing the availability of already limited resources. The writer seems to have no concept that poverty exists in the Bahamas.

There is nothing courageous about bashing an entire population based on anecdotal "evidence" and stereotypes. In fact, it is very easy to bash Bahamians because it is accepted; and pc to do so. One sided articles such as these however well intentioned, only promote discord when people make it taboo to address real concerns by writing it off as xenophobia and ignorance.

A courageous article would have discussed how those in power (past and present), the elites and well-off Bahamians who have allowed this problem to fester for decades and how to move forward. And also acknowledged the thousands of Bahamians at the very bottom who have no say in this: no grass of their own to cut much less hire someone else and no means of travelling to Miami to have babies. These are the ones fighting for resources that become even more limited with each illegal landing. Someone should try speaking up, rather than down, to these people.
