While I appreciate the sentiments, it appears Mr Pratt lives in a bubble or is cognitively impaired. It is impossible **not to see** the impact that decades of **illegal** immigration has had on the socioeconomic well being and culture of this country. It is hard not to draw a direct link between massive **illegal** immigration and crime, scarcity of resources in health, education,increases in government borrowing and corruption in the immigration and other government offices. Nobody really cared too much about immigration UNTIL it started affecting them directly in their pockets. People are now getting tired and are frustrated!
Loving care and concern for others has nothing to do with law enforcement, protecting our sovereignty or utilizing scare resources for the benefit of the **citizens** of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas! I do agree that we should pay attention to **how** we enforce the law though!
As long as 'Brave' Davis, former member of the most blatantly corrupt government the country has ever seen, remains as leader of the opposition, no one can take anything the PLP says seriously!
It seems that money could have been better spent on several helicopters (used) to expedite the recovery process and to be a part of future strategic planning for future hurricane relief efforts.
How much of this "personal" medical data will be available or accessible by non-governmental or foreign entities I wonder? Will the government sell this information or not-- that is a concern!
The same systems (public and private) produces students who fail AND succeed. The question is why do so many fail? Most of that would boil down to the **value** homes place on education, spending time with and the character development of the child. Those are sorely lacking in 70% of homes!
