Or you could stop the refugees where they started and Help them get on their feet in Haiti. They need- Jobs- Create employment & encourage over sea investors. Education- Help build the facilities & staff them with foreign teachers. Infrastructure- Put bids out to invest in roads, hospitals, power stations. You could fix a lot in 10 years. This would all probably cost the same, or less than the US Government is spending on border 'control' now.
I am horrified by the average Bahamians response to the Haitians plight.
Seriously, one Dorian on New Providence and we would become climate refugees. That is an undisputable fact. And just one corrupt government could make our economy crash, so with covid and corruption we are very close to becoming just like Haiti. Maybe we deserve it because Bahamians are not kind neighbors and Karma is a bitch..
Horrified by the response on this comment section, you should be ashamed of yourselves. A history of abuse by corrupt governments has put Haiti's people in this terrible predicament, what would you do in their shoes? They need HELP not vitriol.
It is up to us, he is right. Each and every one of us has a part to play.
Bahamians have a long history of being self-destructive, and true to form many of us are thinking and acting selfishly. They are selfish when they vote (we vote for bribes and a turkey's & not what's best for the collective) and selfish when it comes to taking vaccines, saying "I let others take that voodoo stuff it’s not going in my body!" (whilst eating hotdogs & KFC!)
So even though the PM is right about The Covid Fix being up to 'us', the selfish Bahamians amongst us, still won't do what is best for themselves and their nation, so we ALL now have to accept we are predestined to more adversity, we will just have to live with more people getting sick dying, more strains of Covid and cross our fingers the economic impact scrapes by. We will have crime, death and poverty on a scale never seen before.
I completely agree with you MSG! The radio hosts are literally killing people with their mishmash of gobbledygook, they are damaging their own futures and everyone that resided in the Bahamas. It is insanity at best, and criminal at worst, in fact in some First World Democratic nations they probably would have been charged with serious crimes by now.
BTW ohdrap4, you are mistaken, there are vaccines in country, people are getting vaccinated daily, if they want to be.

He needs to do the right thing and resign as leader.
His arrogance is very off-putting and his ego does not match his talent.
