This is what happens when you enter a country illegally and then expect to reap the benefits through an anchor baby. The only slippery slope this situation creates is a burden on the Ministries of Immigration and Education to fix a problem created by the illegal parent.

When are we going to stop entertaining nonsense? These people have it figured out. Even if they are not straight, they expect - no demand - that benefits be given to their children through free health care and education (which by the way is used to learn English) and then want to act all bitter and hurt when it is denied because they don't have the proper papers.

I say we keep the policy in place. If you don't have the proper papers and can account for your presence in our country, then you should not be in our country - point blank!

I'm surprised that anything in the Bahamas can be "rocked" anymore, much less the cabinet.

In May, 2000 when Archdeacon William Thompson was shot and killed, the country was "rocked" as crime had now infiltrated "the church".

In August, 2010 a 3-month old being held in a car by his father was shot and the country was again "rocked" . OMG! A baby had been shot.

In February, 2017, a 1-year old was shot in another drive-by. People said, "Lord, they shooting children" and the country was again "rocked".

Now we have an 8-month old that not only been shot, but killed and somehow our cabinet and, no doubt, our country is again "rocked".

We done do all the rocking we needed to 'roc with doc' and get the FNM elected for change. How much rockin' we gat to do before we make up our minds as a society with a Government at the helm whose mantra is "It's the people's time" before we seriously address crime.

To hell with rockin!

Pass the necessary legislation, if necessary, that takes our criminal matters from the Privy Council (because no murder will ever be the worst of the worse - that's clear) and puts our criminal matters before a Caribbean court that has no issues with capital punishment

Pass the necessary legislation that stops bail from being granted to repeat offenders for serious crimes. It only keeps keeps our hard-working policeman frustrated.

You are the cabinet. You are the government. We elected you for change. Pass the relevant laws and stop the rockin'!!

Bahamians just would not stop this "something for nothing" attitude. That's why these schemes work. We have alot of gullible people out there. When they're not gambling and making the numbers boys millionaires, they're throwing their hard-earned money away on schemes like these. Trust me when I say that the Government will have a hard down cracking down on these shysters because the mentality of the people is such that they will always strive.

It's hard to feel sorry for the new car businesses. Their prices for new cars are grossly inflated and the poor consumer just cannot afford them. 20% down with a 5-year term to pay it off and a heft insurance payment to boot. Makes sense to just join an asue and buy a car for about $5,000 cash. Although I agree the market is oversaturated with used Jap cars, at least they are affordable, they are definitely not gas guzzlers and the air pollution is considerably less.

Here's an ide for a get rich quick fix: Open a Jap car parts shop. In another 5 years when these cars start to have problems, you will be rich.

Think the whole idea was to give them temporary jobs for votes. How else do you explain how approximately 1,700 workers are added to the payroll just before election but mysteriously couldn't be employed in the 5 years that the PLP was in power.

I understand that the whole idea was give them jobs until after election and they would have been let go anyhow. The PLP just wanted to get back in.

41 years old with 10 children?!! Sorry but having trouble getting past that.....

Yeah this thing go deep. How do you get back to your roots when corruption is all you KNOW?

Publishing the names is not the only answer. It's also fixing the system. How else do you explain why a foreigner is able to keep a job for 10 years in the same position without anyone noticing that no one was trained to replace him.

Check this out: The procedure to get a work permit especially for a high-ranking job requires that you first apply for a Labour Certificate. In order to get the Labour Certificate you have to advertise the job for three consecutive days one of the local newspapers. The application for the Labour Certificate requires that you submit the responses to the ad. So even if a "qualified Bahamian" has applied for the job, what do you do? You simply don't send his response with your application. Instead you send the responses of the persons who did not qualify to make it look like there is no Bahamian qualified for the job.

Additionally on the application for the Labour Certificate you have to fill in the name of a Bahamian you are training to replace the expat. Any old "Jo Blow" will do. So how is it that 3 years later the expat is still on the job and nobody is noticing that his work permit is being renewed every year and the Bahamian who's name was put on the application form has yet to replace him.

The Labour Certificate is a waste of time. It's merely a formality and the persons who hire the expats know it.

But I blame the Government/Minister of Labour who have allowed it to happen. It explains why the place is saturated with foreigners. We do not follow through on our own policies. We do not have checks and balances.

No qualifications? Mr. Henfield is a trained attorney.

I've seen this statement printed in the other daily at least twice: "Gibson was seen entering CID for questioning without crutches". Someone even commented on social media that he was seen entering the building in a suit with shoes on and NO crutches - the implication in both cases being that he's faking it.

Lol. Just thought I'd put that out there.
