They are not ingrates. . .they are persons who have an invitation by our constitution to apply for citizenship in this nation. . .I support the Bahamas' right to protect her resources. . .but not at the expense of persons who have a right to be here. . .Haitians or not. . .THEY ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. . .AND THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN GIVEN THEIR CITIZEN STATUS. . .WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME/COUNTRY!!

The only people who have a right to be in your home are those you invite through your front door. Someone who has broken into your home does not have a right to be there no matter how long they have stayed.
The only people who have a right to apply for Bahamian citizenship are those who enter this country legally and follow the laws of the land. Even then the government can deny citizenship for those who entered legally if they chose. Illegals and their offspring have no citizenship *rights*. You argue with your emotions not common sense or reason!

You know me . . .I do not reason from my emotions. . .and usually row those who tend to do so! Noticed I said that those "who our constitution invited". . .and follow our laws. . .and yes, even those who are here legally our government has the inherent given by the constitution right to deny citizenship. . . I go even further than you did and "where our constitution do not give clear rights. . .there is not right in this nation".. .

There ought to be a special TAX for people like LICKS2 to pay - based on the estimated number of illegals in the Bahamas.
Every month so much added to his/her NIB contribution. I'm sure they would gladly pay it to "support the Haitian community"
Right now every man woman and child in this Bahamas is contributing no less than $50 per month thru various avenues (taxes, loss of business, crime, social services, clinics, schools, etc) - toward the welfare of Haitians.
The way this govt is going (encouraging more) - that will be up to $100/month by end of year.
Nobody has yet found out why the Defense Force was not monitoring the southern shore, and who gave that infamous "stand down" order. We will probably be hearing the same thing 6 months from now, and we will be asking who gave the new "stand down" order in January.

Lets say I cost that additional $100 tax added each month. . .but shooting from the hip and ignoring the 25 international accords we have ratified with our brother UN nations will continue costing us millions per person when we "yuck-up" people with no regard for their human rights. Right now yinna got one of the dumbest lawyers I have ever seen runnign around carrying on like he gone crazy"poking his finger in we eye" because yall fooling around like yinna een gatta answer to "nobody"! YINNA BAHAMIANS GET YINNA DAMN HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUD. . .YA NOW IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER. . .MONOPOLISTIC THINKING IS GONE! Judges let go 5 persons today because yinna dumb thinking say that "they een have no right to be here. . .lock them up till we decide their fate"! AANGGGGGGGGGGG. . . SEND THEM HOME OR TO COURT. . .NOT HOLD THEM INDEFINITELY. . .ALL THE COURT IS SAYING IS THAT JUST LIKE THE CONSTITUTION WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO HOLD A BAHAMIAN INDEFINITELY, YA CAN'T DO THE SAME TO NOBODY INSIDE THIS NATION. . .THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES THAT FOR ALL . . .LEGAL OR ILLEGAL! SO IF YINNA STILL INSIST ON DOING WHATEVER THE HELL YALL FEEL LIKE. . .YEA SHALL PAY THE PRICE. . .OR SHOULD I SUGGEST THAT SAME TAX YA WANT ME TO PAY!
