Haitian Vessels a Terror Threat

Who in the country is monitoring this illegal action taking place in the Nassau Harbour.

These vessels have regularly been found trafficking drugs, and weapons, caused dead bodies to be found floating in the harbour or washed ashore. Human feces have washed ashore where children and tourist play on the beaches nearby. The vessels have also been caught smuggling human passengers from Haiti, where on one occasion they attempted to run into a Defense Force vessel when it was ordered to anchor for an unexpected inspection. All this continue to occur with these vessels acting as a great 'terror threat'to mega cruise ships that dock at Woods Rogers Wharf in Nassau.

Thousands of American and Bahamian lives are at a threat all because of a failure to protect the harbour from these vessels that enter it nightly, just after midnight.

For years, NO LEADER IN THE BAHAMAS WOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM! WHY?

What needs to happen is formation of a effective port police. I was there as a medic coordinator during your disaster.

Solidarity and reform. Yes what you say is true however just because most are looking for work doesn't mean that there are no criminals in this same community. It is true of all nationalities. Criminals are exploiting your weaknesses that is what the message is proving.

You see only one side of the issue. True enough most Hatians just want a better chance at life. The truth is there are a few who have sinister businesses going on. They are human smuggling, drug trafficking, weapon smuggling and escaping from prosecution. Sometimes they transport women to be prostitutes. Some of their human cargo is discarded into the sea when Defense for and US Coast Guard officials approach. They are weighed down to disappear without a trace.

"Human feces have washed ashore where children and tourist play on the beaches nearby." (your video description).

Oh, what an impertinence, to bother people´s carribean paradise with reality.... Really I find no words for so much disdain. these people are as human as you, do you think they came to drown in the sea for fun or what???

Stop instigating fear and animosity towards Haitians. Migration is not a Bahamian but a worldwide problem, it´s a consequence of unrest and poverty, and blaming immigrants has never solved any country´s problems. What about solidarity instead of negativity?

what's the threat here? Haitian vessels anchored in Nassau Harbour, with people trying to make better lives for themselves doesn't seem threatening to me.
