I have been following the illegal immigration debate in our
beloved country with great interest. I
was moved to provide my views on it in writing after hearing Ms. Daphne
Campbell, Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives give her
take on the matter.
Like so many Haitians and those of Haitian descent, Ms.
Campbell wants to dictate immigration policies to the Bahamian Government. She sounded crazy when she said: The Bahamian
government officials have one week to apologise and reverse the new policies,
or she will travel here with a delegation to address them face-to-face.
Ms. Campbell needs to travel to Haiti
instead of The Bahamas to insist to the Haitian Government and people there
that they need to plug the illegal migration of Haitians from Haiti. There is where the outrage should be Ms.
Campbell.
For too long the government of Haiti and the elite Haitians have
turned a blind eye to the pressing and vexing matter of illegal migration from
its shores. The Bahamas has
been delinquent in dealing vigorously and effectively with illegal immigrants
for too long. It’s about time that we
restore law and order in our land, and addressing the illegal immigration issue
is a major component in our crime fight.
It’s illegal and immoral Ms. Campbell, for illegal Haitians
in particular – to feel that they and their children have rights to be citizens
in a country where they have entered illegally and have babies galore. It’s utter madness.
