Haitian migrant sloops yet again on the headlines but what we should be looking at and investigating is the coincidence of the timing of one-two-three-four Haitian migrant sloops being able to enter the territorial waters of The Bahamas and sail virtually 50% of the length and not a soul Royal Bahamas Defence Force or Police or Immigration saw them?

Did the RBDF and RBPF send text messages to the smugglers…come over the holiday we will be partying?

I for one am tired of this slap-happy amateur ship approach to our National Security.

We spend $240 million on boats and upgrade Coral Harbour - Inagua RBDF bases and it seems the intrusions are worse and what is, oh so annoying, the propaganda dished out from ZNS.

Prime Minister, heads should role - your government has had enough time to settle in - it is your time now so take responsibility not excuse after excuse. Start with Dames, Brent and Bethell - Russell - Ferguson…

South Beach landing is right close to the RBDF watch tower and they, the marines still did not see them. Immigration a waste of time chasing the foxes after they have run…a total waste of tax payers’ money.
