A question, so, what are Haitians doing to Haitians in Haiti? Killing each other, there's no Bahamian here killing or wanting to kill Haitians. We need control at the highest level. A wise PM once said something like, if Bahamians are too lazy, laid back, and passive to fight for and to keep their Bahama Land, they don't deserve to have it. Point Blank
Instead of using our police cars to do personal runs about the island maybe we can use these cars for patrolling the streets. The police patrol is still not visible. In certain areas, cars should be seen every 20 to 30min just moving about.
These banks that charge for everything under the sun need to do a better job protecting their customers. They charge us to protect our money, and they then in turn make money from it and then do little to protect us from fraud
If a need for money is a problem then I would be happy to pay a tax to protect the Bahamas from evasion by all outsiders, unfortunately, Haiti is and has always been unstable from the French colonization to the present, and with this and our close proximity along with our dollar value, free health care, and free education, which most developing countries in our region don't have, makes the Bahamas a target. If this migration is not stopped or held at bay and continues the Bahamas and Bahamians in 50 years as we know it will be no more and shantytowns would be in the middle of Baystreet. Haiti has a population of over 11 million with a poverty rate of 70% living under the poverty line, while approximately 50% live on **$1.25 a day**, if just 4% of their population would end up migrating here we would be wiped out. My Bahamas would be finished. The good thing for me is I will be dead and gone and not have to see this, the sad part is for all those left behind.
