Some 244 Haitian migrants discovered in a 60-foot wooden boat close to The Bahamas just days ago have been sent home.
Director of Immigration Jack Thompson said the 187 men, 54 women and three children did not test positive for cholera.
“They were in good condition from our standpoint. There were one or two persons who were dehydrated but they were overall in good health,” he told the Nassau Guardian newspaper.

This is where Dominica is headed.. so start building your boats.
them ppl trying make a better life for them self n their kids.. they only gonna do it agina soon
even if they do it again what dat have to do with your black ass
woman or man whoever you are eh go and sew your Panty hole ok
your COCO making lacy
go by a doctor to give you some medicine to disinfecting your old pussy ,.,, instead of talking
Migration is a natural phenomenon even the birds of nature observe it.
misery is not the property of nature, is man that institutionalise it, words of the great,’Gorden Henderson;’
with hope and faith these people have the right to look for a better life for themselves.
you only live once,time is your previlage.
Fine then we will tell them go to your country. The Bahamas can’t handle them a country of just under 400k (which 100k are already illegal Haitians) can’t handle 600+ Haitians every month.
Whats bad enough is refuse to properly follow the law when they are here. And refuse to properly assimilate which is even worse.
Whilst people have the right to seek better conditins for themselves it should not be at the risk of destabilising or impoverishing another man’s country.
Haiti is the most populous carribean country. Any unchecheked and haphazard migration to any caribbean island will only serve to undermine that country. If they are really hard working they should stay and develop thier country, they have the human resource to do so. Runnig away havew not and will not help develp Haiti.
no illegal person has a right to stay in another person’s country. if the country extens some mercy then consider yourself lucky. Furthermore when Dominicans are caught in foreign lands they are deported.
Dominica has a small population so they hadly affect the welfare of a country. Haiti have nearly 10 million very poor and desperate people. They at the present rate of migration native dominicans will soon be marginalised in thier own land.
Right now local vendors can’t get a space in de market as haitiens are grabbing all the stall space.
Dominica needs more spenders not vendors.
i need a boat to live dominica to…..
The bahamas smart ,send them back.When they come in people country they want to take over, with their voodoo and all. Everybody can see how dominica change since they come in D/A.
it is since ur govt came in power that is happening ! SO STOP BLAMING THE HAITIANS!!stupes!!
Thnx meemeee ,,.,., just ignore them cause they are very stupid and hatery
all you Domninicans have to say thnx to the Haitian Gvt especially Former President Jean Bertrand Aristide
if the Prime Minister can be in Power now is by the good Grace of God and Aristide
Poor Roosevelt Skerrit Dominican would have kill him in power already
Small Minded people
Little Country little mind
Please explain what arestide have to do with Dominica govt. in power. If we recall, he himself was deposed from office, so how is it he is the one responsible for keeping this present govt. in power???
Shop Rite
sorry for correcting you wi
but at you are a dum ,/.,.. is not arestide nah the name is Aristide and also star it with a capitl Letter your sort
yes Aristide has alot more to do with the Gvt in power ,.,. he is a pure Domincan just like and still want to kill him
so remember that right afet the death of the late PM Pierre Charles died ,.,. if God was not there and with the help of Aristide ,.,. all you people would have killed him long time
Sacrey dum ,.,.. go back in the hole
why they overloading the boats soo much??
Regardless what one says Haitians are not welcome where ever they migrate to, they do not obey other countries laws, sacrificing/killing their kids, destroying families and nationals of countries in other to take over
The only island welcoming them is Dominica, because Dominicans believe too much in evil/voodoo
just take a look since these people step foot on the island see what is taking place in the island and it’s people, imagine going to the market and they are in control, Guadeloupe no longer welcome them cause the people realize that they could not rent their houses after the Haitians left, nor harvest any thing off their farms. Dominicans just a matter of time
Another thing with all the millions other nations dished in their country i just cannot understand, Haitians are very clever and fooling Dominicans letting them feel pity for them when all they do is destroying their families, one of my Haitian co-worker keep saying she being Haitian do not trust them at all
What nonsense about our population too small. St. Kitts and Anguilla population much much smaller than ours and they doing much better. Only idiots sit on thier a****s and expect foreigners to build thier country for them. Haitiens come to grab for themselves, not to build any nation. if they were so hardworking haiti would be the best country in the caribean. Is not poitics alone that cause thier downfall so be carefull.
send them to dominica .they are hard working people who can help boost up our agricultural sector.Our population is too small for any major investment and increase consumption.Our young men are dying and into drugs so we need a new set of fresh people to come in and work the land.
But the voodoo rate will increase.
Not if you stop believing. They live in the US too but I don’t hear of increased voodoo rate. Dominicans need to leave that stuff behind and literally come into the light.
…they are a menace to society – send them back!!!
DNO why did you remove my earlier comment??? Other people write so much crap on here and get away with it, yet you choose to censor my opinion???
You really don’t know anything about this people,
They like a decease in Dominicana, they don’t
Respect our country and they don’t respect us.
Anonymous i understand you but at the same time ,.,., before you clean somebody’s back yard you have to clean your back yard so therefore if you do not have respect for your own self how you expect people to have respect for you ,.,. so self respect is counting ok
Dominicans are worst than all the other caribbean people./.// St lucian people are sweet they have respect when people come into their Island
Domonican only know you when you are NEW after a two days they dump you in rubbish
so give me a break jan Dominityen rayi chien
they need to send them out, cause they cannot go else where and do what they are doing in da. if they were behaving them self i dont mind they there but the even want fight us for what is our own.
how can one take comfort in dissing thier entire country just to please some invaders? thats taking idiocy to a new level. u will never hear a lucian dissing lucians to please haitens. go figure
…bring to DA for what? To cause deforestation like they have done in Haiti? You people really don’t understand the Haitians.
I have lived and worked with them; and I am not prejudice against any race, nationality, or ethnicity; but I will tell you this much: Haitians are parasitic in their approach to life. They do not value the basic structure of life and the resources necessary to keep it going. They will take until the well runs dry – not understanding that you must allow the well to replenish itself. There are a few who understand the cyclical process of life, but the majority of them just don’t get it. We must be careful what we wish for…
You know Kanpeche, the one thing you said that has been troubling me about having Haitians in DA, and I don’t even know if it’s true here, is the burning down of trees. Folks have told me that they are doing that and I am not happy, if it’s true. That is precisely what has their country in a bind now, that deforestation. You burn the tree to make coal but you don’t replant, and now the hills are all brown, so if you spit there is a landslide. I’m hoping that isn’t true. I was at Cabrits not so long ago and saw smoke in the hills across, and I wondered aloud what it was and an angry man told me “dem Haitian burning down DA but nobody doing any fing”. I don’t know if he was correct, but I’m paying close attention.
Are you crazy or stupid? Why should Dominica burden it’s self to feed a mass exodus of Haitians while Dominicans are trying to find jobs for themselves. Please respect and honour your country and stop degrading it.
Whether dominicans lazy or not that does not give any foreign the right to come here and take over our resources which our foreparnts toiled and died for.
if haitiens are soo hardworking, let them prove it i haiti first, its a country about 10 times the size of dominica.
BTW why is it only dominica that encouraging them? is it because of wisdom or stupidity?
@ VIP
I AGREE WITH YOU
THEY HAVE A WHOLE SET OF YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN IN Dominica they finish with school and they sit the back side join gang and after when everything go wrong they are blaming the Haitian people who are working hard
so Dominican wake up all you lazy back side to work and stop blaming the people who want to work to earn a living tomorrow
Dominica should do the same, we are a small island an and can only sustain, our own people.
They will never stop coming.
THEY DONT LEARN WEN A BOAT SINK THEIR HEAD SO HARD THEY WANT SERVIVAL
maybe u wud see it from a different point of view if u were in their position!
is dat dem fi do in dca… send al ah them home…
Only those who are here illegally. I wouldn’t want the US sending home my family who are currently legal and positively contributing to the US society so those Haitians that are here legally for my part can stay once they behaving and contributing
So many Dominicans are in the US illegally doing menial jobs…maybe sending them home and kicking out the illegal Haitians will bring balance.
T Winston
at least you can understand that you have familly and you doh want them to send them back
but it has some negative and small minded people they do not understand nothing in nothing cause they uneducated person
You must realise that dominicans in America is america business. That have nothing to do with haitien coming here. If Dominicans were going to Haiti then it would be fair exchange. Is only when you all lose sweet dominica to outsiders allu will try to protect your borders, that time it will be too late. Already they giving landlords so much hard time with thier property refusing to leave when ask to. They keep threatening dominicans with thier voodoo at the slightest confrontation.
