When there are other countries that seek only injection of capital. Why would they invest in a place where they are forced to hire an understudy for every position, even before the business gets profitable or gains any traction?
Wow backwardness. A country where birth and living 34 years does not provide any rights. A country filled with Paranoid people who think everyone wants to be Bahamian. Where more prosperous and progressive countries make it easy for people with money to immigrate and invest, people in the Bahamas are worried about, "Bahaminanization". You all need to get real and get a grip before the world passes you by.
If you guys don't man up and stop being paranoid about foreigners no one will invest, you will have to borrow, and borrowing comes with major cost, the main one which is devaluation. Trust me we Jamaicans know about that. You wake up one morning and suddenly your money can but much less than the day before.
No one will invest in a place where is difficult to get permits to live, and where there is hostility to foreigners. Know this simple fact, People who invest will have their own people to watch over their business, that is standard, this thing about forced understudy to take over an owners business is not practical, in fact its nonsense.
I just don't understand how the united nations allows a country to prevent the child of a citizen to have automatic citizenship. This is indeed sickening
Nonsense. I can't speak for Haiti, but If a bahamian goes to US Canada or Jamaica, they can wok and live in peace with all rights. THEIR kids born locally can acquire passport etc citizenship. Grow up. There is a difference between patriotism paranoia and parochialism.Stop playing pity parry. No one in any country will appointment anyone to a senior position if they are not qualified. Do you want your child to graduate college and jump into Senior positions simply because the occupants are foreigners?
Anyway I blame my Jamaican countrymen. I have no idea why I would live in a place where if I have a child they can't get a passport or school papers. Backward mindset and laws. Educate your workforce so you don't need to import labour. Till then...
How would I feel. I do not know the dynamics on the ground in the Bahamas, so I can't say. The New Chinese in Jamaica has tried this but there is pushback. If your concern is protection of Bahamian, fine, if it's the hatred of foreigners then you have a problem. Logistically for most investors it's always cheaper to train and use local labour at certain levels and ultimately get to the point of training middle management, an example is digicel however it's a process and locals have to be 1. Patient and 2. Be ready to grab opportunities. The fact that one has an MBA or any training does not mean one is qualified. Your country is involved in tourism so are many competing islands. There are facilities needed me supporting business and attractions to remain competitive. Sometimes a business may not provide direct employment, yet it can have spinoff effects. That being said the Bahamian people need to drop paranoia and pick up militancy. Develop the skills needed so skills deficit can't be used as excuse.
Stop disparaging those who have lived and contributed yet have no way of getting a passport, that leads to brain drain. On the flip side allowing outsiders to come in and set up shanty towns and mini ghetto es, that needs to stop.
