Ahj Says...

Authorities in the Nassau, Bahamas have said that they are in the process of sending back 57 Haitian migrants to their homeland who were found near the Caribbean British territory.

According to the reports that 49 men, seven women and one child
were hiding near Exuma.

To escape from their impoverished conditions in Haiti after an earthquake devastated more 1.6 million people in January.

The director has said that the refugees will be sent back to Cap-Haitien, located off the coast of Haiti.

Last week, the U.S Coast Guard spotted 300 Haiti escapees in two sailboats in the Bahamas.

The Bahamian government suspended repatriations of Haitians after the earthquake, but is placing firmer restrictions across the island.

this is what one dominican think:
I just love the double standards, if bahamians were to deport the illegal haitians from their country, nobody says nothing to them about being "racist", or self hating "blacks" but Dominicans get accused of that Bullsh!t, just beacause they want to take care of the ILLEGAL Haitian promblem in DR
