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.
In Russia a person is thrown in jail for protesting against their leader, the Bahamas is no different from Russia, we just hide under the guise of being a democratic country.
I feel as though if I a desendant of the Bahamaland have to go out and struggle to pave my way which includes but is not limited to, pay for my living, pay elect, water, live in a legal boundary of land, have proper sanitation, and build on land that is owned by me. If I have to go thru this f$$k to live comfortable, why should any forigner and illegal get all this for free? F$$K that.
Why did it take so long for the Judge to realize or conclude that the demolition of illegal structures cramped together, a fire hazard with no sanitation was of National importance, had she dealt with the situation when it was fresh we would have been ahead and not in this catch-up situation again. Why did it take so long to make a sensible factual decision, it took 5 years and in that time frame the problem has gotten 10 folds worst.
They are wrong for that, no matter what the situation is be they here legal or illegal, who gives them the right to put their hands on someone else? Immigration officers wow!

FOIA is the only way to go; hopefully, the public will one day have access to the information that the people require.
