So it seems that people can build houses any where now. I am appalled that the authorities are letting this continue. I as a Bahamian could not do as these people are doing. What makes them so special that they can blatantly break numerous laws and the authorities do nothing about it. I understand that they are poor but is that the criteria you need to break the law? I understand that they are naturalized Bahamians but as such are they not beholden to the same laws as the rest of us? This is a dangerous precedent, find any vacant land, build a couple shacks, cry you are poor and have nowhere else to go and BOOM, you are a land holder. THe police better check stock and sort this foolishness out. For lords sake, we have laws don't we.

This was in the Tribune. I cannot remember the name of the Park but it was situated near a lake. The issue I have is the Fact that these people are flagrantly breaking the law and nothing is being done about it. This is a dangerous precedent as if the Laws of the Land are not enforced anarchy is not far off. I have said it time after time what use is a law if it is not enforced. NONE!

The thing that aggravates me, is that Immigration always says there's nothing they can do about it because the people have permits or whatever. That's understood.

But why the HELL didn't they tell the police about it, so they could have arrested them or have them removed from the park at the first report of 1/2 families being there? :dgi:

Fact is, it's illegal to reside on property decalred as a National Park. For God's sake man!!!

Now they gat mussy 30 families in the park, so that's 30 families they have to relocate and find homes for. :gi:

@$$h0le$!!! :sparky:

This is something that HI has to address.... the problem of not enforcing the laws.. We have so many laws on the book and no one enforces them but the lawmakers always amending them. How can you know if something is not working if you don't use it

Is this like a road of Carmichael, and leads out to the Ross Davis Estates? Because I drove that way to look at the homes being built in this area, and I thought that I was about to be invaded. There were at least 50 to 70 Haitian nationals just standing in this area. It seem like they were discussing something as a collective. This scared the B -jeez out of me. I thought that they had escape how they were carrying on.

Later on that day, I was on the Charles W Saunders highway when a white van cut cross the road in hot pursuit of a supposedly illegal immigrant worker. I know this because he left his lawnmower as he tried to escape on his bike.
