A Interview
Here is a REAL INTERVIEW with an illegal Haitian at a protest march in Nassau.
Trying to reason with an Illegal Haitian.
On the streets of downtown Nassau, May 1, 2006:
Jim Moore reporting for a Nassau TV station:
Jim: Pierre, I see that you and thousands of other protesters are
marching in the streets to demonstrate for your cause. Exactly what is
your cause and what do you expect to accomplish by this protest?
Pierre: We want our rights. We will show you how powerful we are. We
will bring Nassau to its knees!
Jim: What rights?
Pierre: Our right to live here...legally. Our right to get all the benefits you get.
Jim: When did you come to Nassau?
Pierre: Six years ago. I crossed the ocean at night with seven other friends.
Jim: Why did you come?
Pierre: For work. I can earn as much in a month as I could in a year in Haiti. Besides, I get free health care, our Haitian children can go to school free, if I lose my job I will get Social Services, and someday >I will have the National Insurance. Nothing like that in Haiti!
Jim: Did you feel badly about breaking our immigration laws when you came?
Pierre: No! Why should I feel bad? I have a right to be here. I have
a right to amnesty I paid lots of money for my Work Permit and Permanent Residence Cards.
Jim: How did you acquire those documents?
Pierre: From a guy in Immigration. He charged me a lot of money too.
Jim: Did you know that those documents were forged?
Pierre: It is of no matter. I have a right to be here and work.
Jim: What is the 'right' you speak of?
Pierre: The right of all Aliens. It is found in your Constitution. Read it!
Jim: I have read it, but I do not remember it saying anything about
rights for Aliens.
Pierre: It is in that part where it says that all men have Alien rights, like the right to pursue happiness. I wasn't happy in Haiti, so I came here.
Jim: I think you are referring to the declaration of Independence and that document speaks to unalienable rights .. Not Alien rights.
Pierre: Whatever.
Jim: Since you are demanding to become an Bahamian citizen, why then
are you carrying a Haitian Flag?
Pierre: Because I am Haitian.
Jim: But you said you want to be given amnesty ... to become a Bahamian citizen.
Pierre: No. This is not what we want. This is our country, a part of
Haiti that you Bahamian's stole from us. We want it returned to its rightful owner.
Jim: Pierre, you are standing in Nassau. After Independence, Nassau
became a Democratic country, and later Nassauvians voted to have it's own
leaders. We did not steal Haiti
Pierre: That is a Nassauvian lie. Part of haiti was stolen. So was the
Dominican Republic It is just like all the other stuff you people in
Nassau steal, like banana's and women. You are a country of thieves.
Jim: women? You think we steal women?
Pierre: Sure. Like from cuba and jamaica and China. I see them all over
the place. You let all these foreigners in, but try to keep us Haitians
out.
Jim: So, you really don't want to become an bahamian citizen then.
Pierre: I just want my rights! Everyone has a right to live, work,
and speak their native language wherever and whenever they please.
That's another thing we demand. All signs and official documents should be
in creole . Teachers must teach in creole. Soon, more people here in
Nassau will speak Creole than English. It is our right!
Jim: If I were to cross over the Ocean into Haiti without
proper documentation, what rights would I have there?
Pierre: None. You would probably go to jail, but that's
different.
Jim: How is it different? You said everyone has the right to live
wherever they please
Pierre: You Bahamian's are a bunch of land grabbing thieves. Now you
want Haiti too? Haiti has its rights. You Bahamian's have no rights in
Haiti. Why would you want to go there anyway? There is no free
medical service, schools, or social services there for foreigners such as
you. You cannot even own land in my country. Stay in the country of your birth.
Jim: I can see that there is no way that we can agree on this issue.
Thank you for your comments.
Pierre: Viva Haiti!
Pass this along to every Bahamian citizen in your address books and
to every representative in the country .
One person CAN make a difference. The battle for our secure borders and
immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.
If this ticks YOU off...PASS IT ON
