The government cannot even create a strategy to clear roads, provide security and get food and water to the people who need it most and I should trust these funds will be spent cost effectively?

*"I am a son of the Universe with a deep appreciation for the dignity of ALL people - dignity and respect is human birthright! Nobody is "illegal" - "undocumented" yes, and should be processed quickly by the laws of this sovereign country - - but this sub human vitriol, and rabid exclusion across these islands towards Haitians negatively consume too many of us. I am hoping that our nation's leader doesn't bow to the overwhelming pressure to broadly discard these humans as if they are secondary. "*
Since the law determines legality, there is, by default such a thing as illegal. Many are in Fox Hill because they have broken laws. Entering this, or any country without travel documents automatically means you have entered illegally. You can be treated with respect and dignity and still be illegal!! Try taking some cocaine into a police station to sell and see if there is no such thing as illegal. Your statement is idiotic. Laws create an ordered society. This has nothing to do with race or culture but abuse of immigration laws which just happens to be of large numbers of a particular people from a certain country, and people are getting tired!
No not everything is caused by Haitians, and as you know the real issue is not with Haitians, but illegal immigration and the burden they place on society. It is unlikely you would not call the police if you found someone entered your home illegally, but you want immigrants without landing documents to create shantytowns and overwhelm services taxpaying Bahamians underwrite, while people twist the law to create the appearance of 'loopholes' that falsely entitle them? No Bahamian has a problem with legal immigration and people abiding by the law! That's why you have heard no protests from Bahamians about those Filipino shantytowns!
