So Alfred Gray did sell us out. Sounds like Wells just finishing the deal.

Singing for their supper. I would say it to, to keep my job.

I agree. It's not legal. If the Bahamas signed on to any Human Rights conventions (and I suspect we have) we have agreed that all persons on our soil (whether legal or illegal) have the right to be read their rights immediately upon being arrested, the right to attorney and the right to a fair trial for any crime they are accused of committing (among other things). I suspect, that these rights have been overlooked because of the large number of undocumented immigrants that are entering our country illegally. To haul them before a court and give them "due process" would be a nightmare just because of the sheer numbers and baring in mind the current backlog of cases our courts currently have.

Perhaps they should just create an immigration court/tribunal to deal specifically with immigration matters.

If Freddy is successful in any of his current cases for illegal deportation, it will force us to deal with these matters the proper way.

Sheep, this is what my above comment says. He clearly never applied but is holding the (questionable) birth certificate up as like a passport that makes him Bahamian and gives him a right not to be deported.

I understand she has some muck position in the Ministry of Agriculture.

If you ever need to import plants, you need to go see her.

"If you are born in the Bahamas to illegal parents, you have the right at age 18 to apply. You are not a Bahamian. That is what everyone is missing.

Now, we do not normally deport these people, that is why this case is interesting and I will be disappointed if that is what happened.”

If they are born in the Bahamas to illegal parents we understand that they have the right to apply, but do they have the right to stay? I guess they cannot apply from anywhere else in the world, then? Please clarify.

So if you do not apply, does that still make you legal because you're running around town with no papers and just waiving a birth certificate all while touting your right to apply for citizenship and daring them to deport you, which is what I think happened in this case.

This is what happens when you have only ONE woman in the cabinet - and by all accounts an ineffective one. She must sense the shortfall and trying to make up for it. We've had Janet Bostwick, Glennys Hanna-Martin, and Sandra Dean-Patterson (just to name a few) all speak up for women's rights. With or without an office it clearly can be done. Sweet girl just needs to take her head out of sand and encourage her husband to balance his cabinet. Clearly more women are needed at the highest levels in government.
