@Chucky ... it is clear that you cannot distinguish between feigned humility and true humility. Pass by the shelters, speak to staff, since it is clear that you have not, and you will learn that what I have written is true, as it always is! This is not xenophobia, since I have personally helped many Haitians in the aftermath of the storm!
... you are obviously clueless of what you speak. The average Bahamian has no problem with Haitians or any other person who have come legally, married Bahamians or obtained work permits legally. They are rightly concerned about the vast numbers that have come in illegally, obtained "papers" illegally and are upsetting the social order. Bahamians are concerned about competing for jobs with illegals in this country who believe they are entitled simply because of their numbers. Bahamians are concerned about Haitians creating ghettos with subpar construction when we have to go through the rigors of obtaining building permits etc. Any right thinking person can see the inequities. This is not a race thing this is a social justice thing that cannot be understood by outsiders OR those who benefit from Haitian illegality!
Why was this meeting with the speaker and not the PM? Moultrie obviously does not understand the geopolitical implications of his statement. There are far too many idiots in the House of Assembly!
... the problem is many WITH paperwork have not gotten it legally. Do you know how many Haitians I have personally talked to, not married to Bahamians, with Bahamian passports who cannot even pronounce the names in the passports?? A Haitian with last name Brown, Bethel or Johnson, really?

No the Bahamas faces an impending threat from wutless politicians who lack the capacity to think and act in the best interests of Bahamians.

The vast majority of evacuees in shelters are Haitians. They are getting three meals per day and most won't even clean up after themselves.
I have never heard a Haitian say thanks, they only complain!!
