Everyone knows if you really want to "grab land" in the Bahamas just wait for some unsuspecting land owner to stop 'watching' or taking care of his or her property and simply start watching it for them.
How do you do this? You plant some peas and corn or "flowers" on the property, wait a few years and then erect a fence. Make sure your neighbours see you doing this for about 12 years, get them to swear affidavits saying they 'witnessed' you "taking care" of the property and always thought that is was yours... and presto! you have successfully dispossessed the land owner and taken his property right from under his nose. It's the oldest trick in the book to 'land grab'.
Sounds to me like someone is watching the land owner's property for him/her with intention to quiet it.
This article is extremely biased. It makes no mention of the fact that the Court of Appeal ruled that Rony had not submitted sufficient proof that he was he who said he was. It think this fact usurped all his constitutional rights as clearly you cannot say your rights have been violated when you have yet to prove that you are who you say you are and are entitled to legally reside in a country.
Also the above article fails to mention that he never applied for citizenship at 18 or even bothered to go the Haitian embassy to get a passport even though he was entitled to one. To insinuate that he was stateless is a lie.
What he chose to do was run around undocumented as either a Haitian or Bahamian, both of which he was entitled to become (if his claims are true that he was born here).
The reason he finds himself in his dilemma is because of his choices.
Our country should not be made to suffer or deal with his issue of so-called statelessness because of HIS bad choices.
This is what happens when you allow illegals them to enter the country unchecked and then attend school without papers. All that free education and yet he can hardly speak English and not a soul can say they went to school with him. I'm surprised he's not still pushing that story about his papers being lost in a fire. I guess that didn't wash with the courts.
Too many illegals are running around with forged documents and I suspect he's one of them.
Hope they challenge this case all the way to the Privy Council and then deport him. This will shut that Smith man up and send a message to the rest.
Isn't this the same Symonette who was bragging the other day that he regularized over 400 citizenships in the last few months (most of them Haitians) so what is he calling out numbers for? We've always known the illegals breed like rats. That's nothing new. We've also know that no successive Government would close the loop-hole that allows their offspring to apply for citizenship after breaking the law and entering our country illegally.
Please stop giving lip service to this issue. You are the Government. Close the darned loop-hole... although on second thought it's probably what you want. More citizenships in exchange for votes come Election time!
Well Cat... duh... I do believe we tried to amend the law but that was rejected which makes her the nationality of her unwed mother, who was a Haitian when she had her.
No a child shouldn't pay but how much more can we take if the people are coming here illegally and then breeding like rabbits? The monster is of their own making. Our laws are in place but the problem clearly starts with the disrespect and the blatant breaking of them.
So why is Rights Bahamas making this a UB issue? Sounds to me like an immigration issue. So what? Is UB supposed to ignore the fact that a Haitian - who refuses to get a Haitian passport to which he or she is entitled - doesn’t have ior want to get any papers and just let them in. What kind of nonsense is that? We running a University or a clown school?
You give these people the inch and they want the darn mile.
But I’m not sorry. That’s what the Givernment gets for allowing them to go all the way to high school ‘free’ with no papers. Now they feel entitled to go all the way to university undocumented. You can’t blame them. It’s a classic case ‘Play with big dog....’
The Government can hardly be accountable to itself, much less watch over a boating business in Abaco somewhere. We watched a whole 2-million-dollar building go up on smoke because a crony contractor did not purchase insurance and nothing has been done about it to this date. Do you think, therefore, that the private sector will fare any less. The Government can't man itself, much less a boat business. #realtalk
