*"Children of illegal Haitian aliens, born in The Bahamas, are themselves illegal Haitian aliens if they failed to apply for belonger status within one year of becoming 18 years of age."*
In truth the right to apply for belonger status only applies to children born to LEGAL residents NOT illegal, but that did not stop the government from allowing the children of illegals to unconstitutionally apply at 18 even though it violates the rule of law (Article 7 sect 7 , Bahamas Constitution).
... but, just for arguments sake, let's say they did own the land (which they don't), why aren't they being penalized for building without permits, installing generators to supply electricity and illegal power hookups, with interest?
The real problem here is that Haitians are not assimilated and have no intentions of conforming to the laws and culture of their "host" country. They have their own culture, language etc in a sovereign country WHILE taxpayers bear the cost of antenatal care, delivering and immunizing their babies, educating them in public schools and having them filter into government jobs and they think they have a right to violate the laws of this country because of their numbers! As a result the middle class is getting tired bearing the tax burden and the lower class is tired of competing with them for the scraps thrown out by government.
The money the government will waste in this exercise could be better spent on other things, especially with expected revenue decreases from VAT and customs duties!. Don't they realize this is taxpayer money they are wasting?
It would be easier to place a warning from the Commissioner of Police and Ministry of Health barring building in those areas, fine those who try to erect structures, break them down and offer rewards for any information regarding construction of structures in those areas.
The PM is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer!
In the USA one becomes president by winning the electoral college NOT the popular vote. This means Trump WON the 2016 election regardless of individual opinions!
Like it or not he is the president. The charges against him are baseless and have no basis in law or fact as you will soon learn. Contributions to his presidential campaign have increased since "impeachment " investigations have started and ultimately the American people will decide who will be their next president, NOT Bahamians. Keep your blood pressure under control, sit back and just watch the show!
At some point people have to be honest and realize that there would have been no deaths or destruction in the Mudd and Pigeon Pea IF Haitians did not think they had the RIGHT to build there, violating this country's building code. Haitians alone are responsible for the hardships they suffer from the storm after illegally entering this country and building illegally!!
At least the human trafficking racket in Abaco has been busted up for the time being!

So I guess using Bluetooth to talk on the phone while driving is ok!
Who will enforce this law, the three police on motorbikes??
Why have laws that are virtually unenforceable when there are so many other things to focus on?
