Are you serious? One guy spent 9 years, that's right 9 years in detention because the immigration officials were not following the rules. The guy didn't even commit any crimes apart from being in the country without documentation. We also have been paying the bill for him to be locked up for 9 years. The judge simply enforced rules that are already there. So you are saying that the judge should just disregard the law? This ruling means that people will have to be deported more swiftly and will save Bahamians money.
The problems we have with illegal immigration is due to our convoluted and archaic laws. Our politicians have done absolutely nothing to bring about new or progressive ideas to dealing with immigrants, or really anything for that matter.
Allowing any kind of devaluation of the Bahamian dollar would be catastrophic to the economy. We do no produce anything in this country, we have a trade deficit of over 95%, we have no natural resources for our own use or export. We are entirely tied to the buying power of the US dollar and being tied to it.
Why would a bank let you borrow money without providing all of those things? They stand to lose it when you fail to pay it back. $10,000 is a lot of money to trust to someone. It's not a right, it's a privilege.
How about this Birdie, if Christie turns out to be right Loretta has to give him a public apology, and if he is lying as he is known to do, then you leave this newspaper's message board for good?
Well Tal, he was right. This place looks like crap all the time. People have to realize that they can't just do what they want, from the small things all the way up to killing.
Every few months they come up with the idea of coming up with a new strategy, then they hold a press conference and say how things are going to be great, then they do absolutely nothing.
Where did all that VAT money go that they were so in need of to pay down the debt? Well guess what Tal, it hasn't gone to pay down a single cent of VAT and at the same time we are borrowing more than ever. So your precious VAT is actually worse than useless, it hurts us all, because it is being wasted and we the people have nothing to show for it.

You do realize that all but one of the Paris attackers were EU citizens? Guess that kinds of shoots holes in you fear mongering though.
