I am pretty sure Haiti has not donated one gallon of water or a can of sardines towards easing the burden of its own citizens in this recovery phase but he wants the government of the Bahamas to do what? No country has been more accommodating of Haiti's violations of our laws and sovereignty than the Bahamas, including the recent debacle of the Haitian embassy!
He should be seeking to repatriate some of his citizens in this time of crisis. Its what all civilized nations do!
Now is the time for our Caricom 'brothers and sisters' to step up and relocate some of our hurting illegal brothers and sisters from down south. I figure Guyana, Trinidad and Jamaica can each take 1000 or more, the smaller islands can each take 350-500. Any takers, anybody?
It seems so much easier to say that 50 deaths have been identified, but many many more have yet to be identified. This drip, drip of death confirmations is quite moronic and makes the government seem to be far behind the 8 ball!
@jamaicaproud ... its about time we get something from that parasitic brood who have leached millions of dollars from this economy over the years! Marrying for residency or work permits but still having Jamaican sweethearts!
You have not had the misfortune of living in a country that others have wanted to rape and pillage for their own gain, so you cannot understand our perspective! Your country's greatest export is its people!!
And remember the quality of life you enjoy is not because you are a proud Jamaican in Jamaica, but because you have found opportunities in the Bahamas! Show some respect and gratitude!
Bahamians are literate and employable and many obtained degrees in US universities. They are not like your average immigrant coming from across the border or Haiti! BTW you sound like a supercilious dullard!
A more practical solution would be to have official landing zones for boats (planes have to go to the airport). Immigration officers and or police/RBDF should be present at these zones and metal detectors should be available as well. We need to know who is moving through the islands and ensure no contraband or weapons are being transported to Nassau.
