The Government and Mr. Mitchell need stay the course. They didn't cave in when the detractors showed up after November 1st, 2014 so I'm sure they won't cave in now. The noise will eventually subside when these idiots see we ain't flinching.
I also agree. I read the new booklet that Customs put out for the 2015 Customs duties and could not believe it. They are actually taxing the tax. It's ridiculous. Either collect a customs duty or VAT but it should not be both! It's highway robbery!!!
Who thought of this? If I have to walk from the Hilton hotel to Govt. Publications to catch a bus to the bridge that would be a nightmare. I can't imagine someone having to go through this every day - especially if they are old or disabled.
What a lot of people don't realize is that the illegals are using their children for pawns. Frankly, they don't mind being deported but they want the children to stay for a so-called better life. Reminder that when the raids first started in November 2014, a lot of these parents were running off and leaving the children as they also did in past raids under Loftus Roker and many of those children back them were educated and have migrated into our society and are the full grown 'descendants of Haitians' we see today.
What the Government is trying to do is nip that aspect of 'illegal immigration' - and it is illegal - in the butt by enforcing the law that even the children should have papers. It's on the books and in my view should have been enforced a long time ago.
We have to discourage the illegal adults who the perpetrators of the crime.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If there's nothing to get, then there's nothing to come for. No free education, no free health care and ultimately NO citizenship for illegals - children included.
You are right. it is not the children. It is their illegal parents who are popping them out and sending them (among other things) to school to learn English.
All the Government (not Minister Mitchell) is doing is asking that (in accordance with the Immigration Act) all non-Bahamians (including the children) have some sort of papers to show they have the right to reside here. I'm sorry but this does not translate into children of illegals. If the parents are illegal, then so are the children and as go the parents, so go the children.
I just wish they would once and for all fix this damned Constitution so that the right to "apply for citizenship" is not granted to children of illegals. It's resulting in the dilemma we now have where children of illegals feel they have some right to citizenship and hence the right to reside. How can one reside in a country 'illegally' and then assert rights to its highest benefit of citizenship? The premise of your entry is by breaking the law - the same law that you now assert gives you the right to reside. #constantlyamazed
"Children born in the Bahamas of Haitian parents have the right to be registered as Bahamian citizens at the age of 18. If they are denied an education now, how can they possibly “contribute to the progress and well-being of The Bahamas” on coming of age? Of course, one cannot forget the hatred building in their breasts in the intervening years because of their unfair treatment."
"have a right"? Really. Where is that written. Fine. Let's just open the borders and let them all come in, squat and keep pushing out babies because they are rightfully "citizens".
And who is denying them an education? I thought the policy was clear that they had to be registered or have something saying they have the right to reside here. I don't know that this is interpreted to mean that if you were born to illegal parents that give you the right to "reside".
Any hatred in their heart is because their parents brought this mess on them. Not our Government!
