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?
Fred might want to consider reading the following sections of the Buildings Regulation Act:
17 The Minister shall from time to time publish a code, to be known as the Building Code, which shall specify the standards required, the methods of construction and building and the material to be used in any building operation, including provisions as to plumbing and electrical installations in any building and as to all such other matters of whatsoever nature for which in the opinion of the Minister it is desirable in the interests of the safety, including safety from fire, health and welfare of persons in and about any building, that provision should be made.
18 No action shall lie against the Crown, the Minister, the Buildings Control Officer or any person acting under the authority of the Minister in respect of any loss or damage whatsoever suffered by any person through the exercise, in good faith, by the Minister, the Buildings Control Officer or by such person of the powers conferred upon them by this Act, save only in respect of any loss or damage which arises directly from the negligence of the Minister, the Buildings Control Officer or of any such person as aforesaid in the carrying out of any operation in the exercise of these powers.
. they have been 'disturbed' repeatedly over the years and notices to vacate were even issued, more than once (if I am not mistaken), its just that the gov't lacked the will to enforce!

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!!

Haiti has a constitutional mandate to take back its citizens. The country's current state has nothing to do with us!
IF this is not handled right and quickly there will be troubling days ahead!
