Does "well-thinking" mean in agreement with your stance on immigration? How are illegals treated? They are repatriated as they should be, just as I should be if I lived illegally elsewhere.

I understand and sympathize with the plight of the Haitian, I think most Bahamians do, but the fact is that The Bahamas is not a first world country. We cannot afford to make policies based on emotion. Nor can we afford the immigration poilicies of the US that disproportionately favor one group of illegal immigrants based on the same reasons the Bahamas would naturalize illegal Haitians. However, I believe there is an agreement of some nature with regard to Haitians who were in the Bahamas prior to 1985 (and therefore, their descendants). That's more than fair.

Also, the people the minister referred to as fools, are idiots. They were not promoting intelligent dialogue about immigration. They both have their biased views of the Bahamas, and that's what they were promoting. Daphne Campbell - calling for a boycott of the Bahamas, promoting hearsay that turned out to be false. Fred Smith - comparing the Bahamas to a concentration camp, claimed repatriation was Bahamas' attempt at ethnic cleansing. With that twisted logic Bahamians can claim genocide..with almost 20% of the population now being Haitian or of Haitian descent, and growing. But we wont.

Your opinion is that people are being "rounded up". The reality is that immigration officers are going to places known to have illegal immigrants and checking their immigration status. Those who are not here legally are remanded. This is the law, and it is being applied. This is not comparable to the Old Soviet Union or Nazi Germany or even the Wild West (dramatic much?).

They likely did use the bus (unless you know otherwise) because clearly there is not 150 people in that trailer.
