I'm with you on this one. Fools thought to frame it under so-called gender equality when it's clearly about adding more citizens to an already small country overrun with illegals - and we can't even get a grip on that issue. And God knows what the 4th Bill is really about. Lack of education and the gays are killing that Bill single handedly. I hope the majority vote to kill all the Bills!
I've said it before and I'll say it again. When they stop giving out citizenship for votes I'll believe this. With election right around the corner, I will be voting No.
If the Dame was reading the papers, the questions are in every article in the paper. They repeat them constantly so I doubt this is true. She may not have thoroughly studied them is what I'm thinking. Nevertheless, I respect her opinion. She is entitled to have one.
In an election year, you can get citizenship in exchange for a vote and it doesn't mean you are suddenly allegiant to the country that gave it to you. Many use it as a means to an end (case in point, Loubey Georges). We are plagued with so many illegal immigration issue, we have trouble dealing with the persons who are here now, and yet we want to add three more classes of persons to the equation? We are opening a Pandora's box. Don't Do It. #killthebills #justvoteno!
I'm curious as to how they will fix this. If the proposed amendment to Bill Number four seeks to stop discrimination on the grounds of "sex" - defined as a male or female - what category would some who is born male or female but chooses to live as the opposite fall into?
I query too how the court let him get away with it. If he was to serve the surrounding owners of land with the Notice to quiet it, why did the court let him go ahead with the application without evidence that Arawak Homes had been served? Interesting.
Many people choose to paint Arawak Homes in a bad light when indeed is it John Sands and his crooked lawyers who stole the property and resold it.
The victims should be encouraged to sue their lawyers for not doing their homework and approving the title. You check and double check cause lists to ensure that there no actions involving the property. Crooked and careless lawyers are getting away and the innocent land owners are left holding the bag.
I agree with the Bishop. The first three Bills are "citizenship" bills. Nothing to do with gender equality.
People say citizenship will not be automatic for the spouse of a Bahamian woman, but even if they take a while to give it, it will eventually be granted as it will now be the "constitutional right" of the spouse which cannot be denied unless he commits a crime or treason (which is highly unlikely). The words "gender equality" in my opinion are just a guise. This has nothing to do with equality but everything to do with granting citizenship to anyone married or born to a Bahamian.
The intention of the 4th Bill is also questionable. Too many people have a problem with it and because they refuse to fix the wording, the suspicion has only heightened. I would be shocked it gets through.
Are we looking as a small nation to have an influx of "new" citizens when we can hardly contain and control the illegal influx of immigrants that are currently within our borders and asserting a right to citizenship because they were born here (albeit to illegal persons)?
I trust the voters see this nonsense for what it is. Let's just keep the Bahamas for Bahamians please. Call me xenophobic. Trust me, I don't care, but we are not America. We are NOT a melting pot nor are we hard up for more foreign-blooded citizens.
