It seems that when a well-thinking Bahamian addresses the treatment of illegal immigrants with some semblance of maturity, there are those who are quick to attack them as being unpatriotic and anti-Bahamian. Even the good Minister has brought the conversation to the gutters by calling those who disagree with him "fools". Instead of attacking the messengers, can't we have a meaningful dialogue of the treatment of illegals, their rights, and privileges under various treaties and conventions as per the United Nation? Bahamians need to grow up and begin speaking and acting like a First World country, and not let others see the Banana Republic mentality that is so pervasive on these blog pages. We speak of the Haitians, in particular, as if they are not human beings, and because of their illegal entry, deserve to be treated like animals. The discourse must change.
