I can only wonder how many of these "Bahamians" were actually Bahamian. Unlike this country, the US is right to want to know who is coming into their country and ensuring they have a support system while they are there. In this country, the Bahamian taxpayer bears the cost when all and sundry come as they will!

Actually this is the article she is referring to which was in the Guardian!

To put this in even greater perspective, if we enforced building codes and immigration laws in Abaco alone the levels of devastation and death could possibly have been halved!
This is why all shanty towns in this country have got to go!

It seems the Tribune should have printed the story Mrs Holowesko is alluding to BEFORE allowing printing her reaction to in. In that way the readers could have some perspective about what she is talking about and they would not be guilty of spreading the false information she was concerned about!!

Still waiting for Haiti to donate a toothbrush!

If the PLP want to assist, they can just do it. No need for political grandstanding!

... agreed! In fact, Bahamians should know that there are two ways to donate to Samaritans Purse either directly through their website (must make a call to a US number) or through smileamazon, a percentage of all Amazon purchases will be donated to Samaritans purse (or other charities of the purchasers choosing).

The private accounting firm that has oversight of the funds should do the reporting on how funds are spent. Very few trust anything the government would have to say about how funds were spent, based on their track record!

..... and *offer* of support is **NOT** support. Please tell what have they actually DONE!

... we were there 15 years ago!
