VIDEO: Urban Renewal workers back to apply for their old jobs
What I don't understand is if Urban Renewal was started by the PLP who is being accuse of victimization, how come all of these Urban Renewal workers are crying now when we know that parties like to hire their own. It seems like these people got there jobs because some others was let go during the last government change, both parties need to shut up, and Bahamians need to wake up and see that both parties cup is running over and I don't mean with water.

Come on man - you must know how this looks? Even if it is or was true, to speak up after your dismissal makes you and the allegation less than credible. Your voice should have been heard while you were there and these crimes where being committed. I support the idea that you may have been victimized and fired because of affiliation but you gain nothing from unsubstantiated allegations after the fact..

Congresswoman "Illeana Ros-Lehtinen" is obviously stupid. The so called "guard" in that video had a Spanish accent - that was NOT a Bahamian. How on earth did she get given a position in Congress, being that stupid?? Lets see how her economy crumbles IF we start boycotting Miami. And how dare she tries to talk to us about Immigration and Prisoners .. does she know the record the US has?? We go on vacation to spend money in her country, and get treated like crap by US immigration and other Airport authorities. As for Detention centres - Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, ring a bell?? Florida people, yall need to vote that retard out.

Excellent job Mr. Mitchell. Send those pain in the rear Cubans back to Cuba where they belong and not Miami where they want to be. Light skinned Haitians are all Cubans are.
Castro has a special deal waiting just for them when they set foot back in Cuba.
Never mind the noise in the market. No one in America cares what the Cubans think anyway and our tourism business will not be affected by a few idiot Cubans.
Bahamians need to boycott Miami and the Cubans and shop in Panama. The airfair is a little higher, but the shopping is way below that of Miami, fooa and hotel is cheaper and you don't have to jump through hoops at airport security or answer 20 stupid questions by rude U.S. boarder agents who act like we are Haitians trying to sneak into the all powerful USA.
We can spend our $Billion in Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil and Belize and get much better value for dollar and much less non-sense.

Leader of the Cuban Democracy Movement Ramon Sanchez, is a convicted felon that served 4 years in prison in The United States.
He has been disrupting things in the U.S. for years. He has blocked traffic in New York's Lincoln tunnel preventing drivers from traveling to and from New York City from New Jersey. He also in the past has sat on the MacArthur Causeway in Miami blocking drivers from going to Miami Beach from the mainland. We need to remind Americans what he has done to its citizens while protesting the U.S. repatriation of those Cubans that nearly made it to their shores.
Why has The Bahamas not hired an excellent P.R. Firm in the U.S. is beyond me. Why after all the lip service there still has not been any lawsuit in the tens of millions of dollars filed in a U.S. court for defamation is beyond me. Ignoring the bogus claims of the fake video clearly is not winning strategy. We need to act IMMEDIATELY to defend the good name of our country.This is poor leadership on the part of the government.
In the future, to avoid these allegations by Cuban Americans every few years, we need to make it a policy to have all Cubans deported back to Cuba within 48 hours. The longer you hold these unruly people the more damage is done to our reputation internationally. Surely Fred Mitchell can sign an agreement with the Cuban Government to accept their people back immediately rather than the Cuban government dragging their feet.

I wonder if I can call upon the well known QC to do some research within his circles to find out whatever happened to the millions of dollars in shares (7.5% ownership in GBPA) issued to Bahamaland's government? If the government is not in possession of the shares, where in the hell did those shares disappear to? Who has them?

Really, John? You are concerned about poor people not being able to afford cigarettes? I saw a man the other day at the Montagu scrounging through the garbage cans. He took out the remains of a Kentucky dinner and was eating the bones. There are people here in need of food; they certainly don't need cigarettes.

This woman again? Either she is a liar, or her "source" in the US State Dept is feeding her a load of crap. Anybody with half a brain knows that Guard was speaking with a Spanish accent.

US Coast Guard repatriates 24 Cuban migrants
Published on May 31, 2013 Email To Friend Print Version
MIAMI, USA -- The US Coast Guard repatriated a total of 24 Cuban migrants to Bahia de Cabañas, Cuba, in two separate incidents last week.
On Saturday, Coast Guard Sector Key West, Florida, watch-standers received a report from a Customs and Border Protection maritime patrol aircraft of a rustic vessel southwest of Key West. Sector Key West diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Valiant to respond and the Valiant safely embarked 11 Cuban migrants from the unseaworthy vessel.
The migrants were then transferred to the Coast Guard Cutter Pea Island for repatriation.
The Coast Guard repatriated another 13 migrants to Bahia de Cabañas on Wednesday after receiving a report of suspected migrants aboard an unseaworthy vessel. Watch-standers diverted the Coast Guard Cutter Valiant, whose crew arrived on scene and embarked 13 Cuban migrants. The migrants were later transferred to the Coast Guard Cutter Kodiak Island for repatriation.
"Illegal migrant ventures at sea are both risky and dangerous," said Capt. Brendan McPherson, 7th Coast Guard District chief of enforcement. "The Coast Guard will continue to put a high priority on patrolling offshore to prevent illegal migration and rescue those who put themselves at risk aboard unseaworthy rafts and rusticas."
Once aboard a Coast Guard cutter, all migrants receive food, water, shelter and basic medical attention.

So Rubio and this tree stump congresswoman think it's ok for the US to repatriate but not us? Man this is why I could never go into politics. I'd tell these people to kiss it right in the middle. HYPOCRITES.

What? Why did God wait until the election to tell him to quit? God seems to have a two month delay lately. He didn't tell Elliston Rahming to publicly say that he withdrew his ambassadorship for two months. He never told Ellis that things were going bad until a rival appeared at election time. He never told Perry Christie to clarify his position about Peter Nygard for two months. It looks like when it to comes to the Bahamas, God puts everything on hold for two months. Come to think of it, that's the way everything works in the Bahamas. Need a passport, wait two months. Need a business licence, wait two months. Need to re-connect your current, wait two months. We are children of a lesser two-month God.

What is more important the preservation of our sovereignty or the reputation of this country based on false or unsubstantiated claims? The truth will set you free and the vexing problem of having to repatriate illegal immigrants over the many years is taking a toll on the publics' purse. This country cannot bow its knees at this point and go soft on its immigration policies. Those abroad, who feel that the country's efforts to host illegal migrants when they are caught up in this country are inadequate or a mistreatment, should make efforts to bear some of the costs in making the accommodations to make them more to their liking. Florida-based Cubans are very aggressive, demanding, yes arrogant and now anti-Bahamian and if they get a strong enough foothold in this country, we like former Miami residents will be running to the hills, Stand firm and keep this country secure.. Before they speak of mistreatment or torture in the Bahamas, let them stand on the shores of Cuba and make the same claims about that country.

Mr. Bell you're good at opening your mouth, so don't go quiet now. Make sure this lady gets satisfactory answers and where needed satifactory charges and judgement. I swear, the people ask for a change but we never stated in what. We didn't want a change in government, we want a change in the way this country is being run overall.
