“To me every time they come and put a policy in, it doesn’t work,” Mr Kerr said. “What they need to do is stick to the constitution, that’s all it is, don’t beat around it because even if you put a policy in place the constitution still overrides that."

With regard to the prominent businessman's comment, first of all, this is a LAW they are proposing not a RULE or policy.

Where the constitution is silent, I do believe statute law is used as a guide.

This will put an end to all the persons in this country who fail to get regularized and are now seeking to sue the Government because they did not follow the law.

Let's take our head out of the sand and not print ignorant comments!

This article is very biased. It fails to take into account that the parents came into the country illegally and that's why they don't have any documentation to prove their date of birth. If the child has difficulty getting it from Haiti then whose fault is that? And yes, while the Immigration Department does lose documents, it also fails to account for the fact that a lot of the documents are fake.

Somebody sure is getting their rocks offs doing this nonsense. Guess the ‘kidnapper’ decided to wait for the heat to die down before striking again. That being said I agree with the above comment. Parents need to start talking to their children in the strongest terms about talking to strangers and even worse going far enough to get in their cars! We may live in the Bahamas but please let’s not take it for granted that this only happens in America. There are sick people out there who are reading or hearing these stories and getting ideas. We don’t want anything worse to happen to our kids.

And minister of tourism just convinced the American embassy to pull back its advisory on Arawak cay bring ‘unsafe’. Now this. And who knows how many tourist witnessed this. Wow.

Seems like the more they say crime is down and tourists aren’t really being affected the more things keep happening to refute it.

Actually not true. In year one I may be making $100/week. By year 20 I may be making $500/week. If I allow it to accrue and take it all in year 20, then I'm getting 40 weeks at $500 per week versus the lesser sum I would have received in year 1. The officers are smarter than the government. Their take-home pay is greater for having waited. I can see Mr. Dames' point. It has to stop.

Isn't this a repeat of what he said after the PLP lost the last general election?

Technically it sounds true on paper but we know how this goes. He stays in the background for Board appointments and big fat contracts like Valentine Grimes and Darrel Rolle.

Let put this way. For the cronies, politics NEVER ends.

Oh ye of little faith. Why do you doubt.

Know your history. The BCC did try to stop it. In fact they spearheaded a "Vote No" campaign which was led by the late Dr. Myles Munroe, when the it was initially proposed by referendum (later dubbed "an opinion poll) to legalise it. They celebrated when it was defeated, but needless to say, that was short-lived as the PLP went ahead and legalized it anyway.

Lol!!

Because its not about stopping them from coming but encouraging them to assert their rights once they have illegally entered.
