Emac you are right Bahamians have to be willing to fight for something but this ruling should be further down the list of things Bahamians should fight for, FOI act, Corruption in Government, rights to our natural resources and many more should come before this ruling. Those things are holding everyday Bahamian down more than one or two Haitians that didn't apply for his citizenship in the allotted time frame.

That problem can't fly, so stop deflecting. I got my Birth Certificate in a space of 15 minutes last year. So there is a record of everything.

Right on

Haitians would've came with or without this ruling, and don't get full of yourself because we have a lot of uneducated Bahamians. Besides, I learn something while attending school in Miami a few decades ago; a lot of Haitians would ask me what school I went to in the Bahamas and I was wondering why they keep asking me that. I found out that most of them went to the same primary school in the Bahamas. I said all of that to make the point that the Bahamas is really just a stopping ground to get the USA, so Bahamians don't get full of yourself. I understand that we cannot open up our borders because potentially the Bahamas would have the same problems that Haiti has with over population but the problem can be fix without negativity being thrown at the Haitians.

The average Bahamian usually only have a driver's license on them, how would they prove who they are if approach by the immigration? It should be due process when arresting people, because anyone with high cheek bone can get detain and deported.

I am saying the same thing, they don't want to understand that good deeds comes back to you one way or the other. I remember back some 30 years ago my father car broke down and a Haitian mechanic stop and look at it and said to me bring your car by the house tomorrow and I said I don't have any money right now. He raise his voice to me and said I told you to bring the car I didn't said anything about money, so in the morning when I brought the car he explained to me that he wouldn't have been where he was today if it wasn't for my father because my dad help him got straight to stay in the Bahamas. We don't know what any of those students could turn out to be and in turn bless us or skip a generation and bless our sons and daughters because we open to them in time of need.

Good list, except for number 5. That money would go to the Port Authority and they need to pay for some of the things they did to G.B.

What if he intend to fix Grand Bahama, while helping Dominica?
We don't know what tomorrow holds, today it is Dominica, tomorrow it could be us.
Cast your bread upon the water and it will return to you many days after. This scripture/ or folk tale that some might call is true.

What if someone from down south come here an excel in education and come up with ideas to better the economy. Would you want him go back home?

3,000 is a bit much if this rumor is true, however, I don't fault the Prime Minister for casting the country bread upon the water, because we don't know what tomorrow holds.
