Charge him with murder, too greedy and selfish.

Perhaps the Bahamas government will follow suit and install some real laws to deter human smuggling. I ahave heard that some very important people just likethe drug trade are heavily involved. I have even heard talk that many of these people are well financed priests and sea merchants both Haitian, black and white Bahamian. It only makes sense seeing that it is second only to drugs when it comes to profits and so far getting caught is not that big of a deal.

Too fool! yinna know how the US go.

greed will kill yinna. he, he, he.

What a horrible story.

For some reason, I knew I was being naive in thinking that these people bring in Aliens right up to the dock.
Silly me!

How in the world could an illegal smuggling ring originate in the Bahamas?:dgi:

Kudos to the Ministry of Imiigration for the job they are doing in cleaning up the Hatian problem here in Exuma..I thought that they had given up, but I guess they were perhaps waiting for their budget business an' t'ing. Shane Gibson and BJ are stars who know how to get things done. I do not think that they are partisans either, cf. Fred Mitchell as an example. We need laws, like someone else on this forum suggested,to make human smugling a crime punishable with comparable sanctions to drug trafficking.I would make the penalty even stiffer actually (25 years to life ).Why does the government (all past and present) resists common sense appraches to problems? BTW, what ever happened to Pierre "I hate Hubert" Dupuch's anti corruption proposal? Has he stopped fighting for it? Has he called the government on it? We await allyuh respnse dem...

In reading this post the thought came to mind that 'HISTORY REALLY REPEATS ITSELF" From the early days of the Pirates and Buccaneers the Bahamas has always been involved in some kind of illicit activities involving smuggling and the sea. First it was slavery, piracy, rumrunning, the drug trade and now human smuggling. I wonder which one out of the above list will be next, it seems to be a trend.

Well are noe on Human smuglling. But wait, we have to pick out something else out of that bag....Piracy...but its now in a different form. "How about a pirated copy of Pirates of the Carribean sir?"

If someone was to look at our history....we might not be to different from Impiralistic coutries that "rape the earth corner to corner". We just did it while sitting on the shoreline :tup:

hahahah...
I never even thought of that. An American smuggler, smuggling Haitians.
No doubt they passed through, but, the nature of the crime is not Bahamian.
:voodoo:

i know of a bahamian caught smuggling haitians ..

On Radio Abaco News today:
15 illegal immigrants (12 haitian, 3 Jamaicans) and 2 Bahamians were drifting at sea for 8 days and were finally rescued by a tanker off Hope Town, Abaco. The group left West End for Bimini to pick up more immigants for the trip to Florida when their engine(s) failed. The immigrants have been sent to Nassau and the two Bahamians, Peter Russell of West End and Gentry Fox of Nassau are expected to be charged with smuggling!
