Is that what you guys do? Wake up everyday thinking about "Foreigners"?

The esteem Lawyer is correct. The country has a right to defend its borders, however it must be done, according to the Law, both in letter and in spirit. Today ethnic cleansing, tomorrow, it can be political cleansing. My country has its problems,(so no one has to remind me to go back) However we do not look back 4=5-6 generations to figure out who is a "True Jamaican". Xenophobia is a slippery slope, be cautious.

You sound like a Nazi. Your Hatian Grandmother must be so mad at you.

How many generations do you count back to prove you are a "real Bahamian"?

Mr/Miss Emac, ease of the name calling. I don't have any contempt for Bahamians. Its no disrespect but the average Jamaican I know doesn't wake up thinking about other people. All I am saying is this. The Bahamas does have a right to defend or protect its borders. I also understand that the population is relatively small so they do not want to be overwhelmed by a alien language and culture or those who do not want to adapt. However, for those who are invited, and get married and have offspring etc. (which to me is a natural consequence of living in an environment for an extended time) Their offspring should not be victimized because they were not born Bahamian. If the vitriol was for those who skirt laws etc. However for people to be harassing and calling immigration and discriminating on people who have been there 2-3 generations because they are not "Real Bahamian" borders on paranoia. Please do not tell me about higher paying jobs, when there are a bunch of unemployed and unemployable walking around the place. Respect

The DR is a virtual wasteland of mixed up people who don't know who they are. They call themselves, "Spanish". Its beautiful I must admit, however any country that will expel 3rd generation descendants of people is inhumane as far as I am concerned. Please save your boasting Duarte, I don't want to talk about the Dominicans that wash up daily on the Beaches of Puerto Rico trying to scam their way into the States.

Well Maybe Jamaicans are the most qualified and those who get any opportunity take advantage. Why is it in 2014 your country cannot produce its own teachers, and yet you claim outsiders are taking over. Why not make it a national goal to make sure all teachers are Bahamians.
It is one thing to be in a country that you say is struggling and making most of opportunities, as opposed to sitting in alleged luxury and wasting opportunities. I have nothing against Bahamians, in fact the only reason that brought me here was reading about Myles Munroe. Get over yourself and your hate. The Chinese who came to Jamaica in the mid 1900's are fully integrated into society and we do not resent or seek to "kick them out."
We also do not mistreat visitors, students and immigrants. We do not peep on and call Police and Immigration on our neighbors because of petty jealousy and hatred. So I say get out of Caricom, the CFU, the OAS, and go it alone wonderful Bahamas.

I welcome the breaking off of relations of Jamaica with the angelic people of the Bahamas. I for one would never go there even if my passage was paid for. I would not even spend a dollar in a place where the people walk around with such rancid hatred.
The irony is that China is taking over your space but you are not worried about that. You are worried about, "people from the South." For many years you people came to our country and recruited nurses and teachers and even common hotel workers, now you want to kick their offspring out like a sack of spoil rice. That in your prosperous country where all the youth are growing up to be are "shottas" and drug dealers. A day never goes by without a Bahamian or 2 getting arrested in Jamaica for drugs, but we do not get twisted and bent out of shape. I don't have any feelings good or bad for Haitians, but maybe if you all had a distinct culture, you would not have to worry about people taking over.
Please I beg you guys, check your hatred. Remember Germany in 1938 where the News Media and the Church joined the chorus of hatred against the Jews. You know what happened, or do you?
