This is the mindset that caused the Mudd and Pigeon Pea to grow. The promise of construction jobs in Abaco. They payed them pittance, and watched as they continued to live in substandard conditions. So yes they probably eventually got ‘papers’ and a skill set to boot but it also caused them to encourage the others to come. So now you’ve created a monster. You have skilled legals who use their funds to bring more illegals in. Let’s stop the bleeding people. And worse. Let’s stop supposing there are no unemployed Bahamians who can do the job.

Haitian labor is valuable only because of the fact that it is practically modern day slavery. In every country that has an immigrant problem, they disrespect and denounce the native work force to justify their criminal act of hiring illegals. I read an article about a town in Mississippi that was dominated by illegal immigrants working in the poultry industry. After recent ICE raids, the plant was forced to offer livable wages to citizens. Unemployed African Americans, whose ancestors did those very jobs before they were replaced by underpaid illegals, have flocked to replace those workers. Of course, the negativity has resumed wondering how long they will last, but the real speculation should be how long will the employers be willing to pay fair, livable wages? If Haitian labor is truly needed, as they try to convince us, there is no need to hand over the entire country with stupid citizenship loopholes and twisting the constitution to support illegality. Make the employers pay for housing and a stipend like they do for foreigners that truly have marketable skills and watch how fast they back track on describing the Haitians menial roles as skilled positions.
