This is a bunch of non- sense. There is a time and place for everything!!! Because it is a place of business, those officers should have called the lady over to question her. I would not expect her to come to her place of employment with her passport strapped to chest everyday with her field of work. Not to come in the front of visitors to demand these things in the front of guest and customers. I understand its their job and they can question any immigrant, at anytime. But we all should have morals and common courtesy to everyone.
How about these same officers take that same force and question and carry those illegal Haitians and Jamaicans within our community. They know just where they live and work. If now immigration officers are deciding to actually do their job and enforce the law. They should do it everyday and to every different nationality.
Reading these comments makes me realize why the Government of the Bahamas feels like they don't owe us (the people) any answers to our questions or concerns about things/ issues of our country.
Right is right and Wrong is wrong!!! This isn't about PLP or FNM, Red or Gold. It's about Illegal activities and the law being enforced.
If they found operations to be illegal when the Webshops/ Gaming houses were raided. How come now they can't find cause to close them down? How is it after hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on Consultants and a Referandum, can the Prime Minister and the Commissioner say they can't close the Webshops down until they found iilegal activities. This government has "US" for Stupid clearly. All kind of money going down the drain to continue operating as if their was no campaigning and voting.
Now instead of important matters that need to be put before the courts, We have Webshop owners and their Lawyers fighting the law to continue operating their businesses. When criminals are walking free or getting fat off the tax payers monies. Or better yet, Police Commissioner can come on television demanding that indecent pictures or videos not be upload onto Social Media. That he an investigate and charge persons before the courts. But the illegal activities done in plain sight, every day, on almost every corner, he finds the most foolish excuse to not enforce the law.
This is sad Bahamas.We are sad as a Nation.
Because this Gaming issue shows how the Government feels about us as a people. It seems like what ever they say goes. What ever they do is right. Despite which party is elected. It's time to open our eyes and look beyond the color shirts of the Political Parties and the issues in our Society!!!!
Instead of Mr. Roberts and the PM sharing the knowledge promised on their plans on making Gambling legal, they are again pointing fingers to avoid answering the Bahamian people. Dr. Minnis did say he would support Legalization of Gambling, the PM did not put that question to us the People. Dr. Minnis advise the Bahamian people to 'VOTE NO' due to the lack of knowledge on the PM's intent on solving this matter. I am upset on the way the present government is dealing with this referandum. It is in fact still illegal. If you have promised to make it legal by holding a referandum, he should have instructed the Gambling Houses to close until the People have Voted. How can you have an illegal business running freely everyday, all day and claim your neutral. I don't see what difference the money he claims from taxing of the Gambling Houses would make,PM has yet to shown us what he has done in the Mid year Budget. We as a nation have more pressing matters that needs to be address. Eventhough, I am not a PLP supporter. I honestly feel like because our Economy is in a bad sate, PM should have been quiet on the Gambling matter and Turn a blind eye to it. Meaning, let them operate illegal how they have been doing all these years, providing jobs, etc... Fine them and shut down the houses occassionally. And when the Economy picks up which ever party that is in power should address the Gambling Legalization. Like Sir Lyden did with the Drug Trade in the late 1970's and 1980's.
