Florida Sens. Marco Rubio and Rick Scott on Wednesday asked President Trump to waive visa requirements for Bahamians affected by the shattering blow of Hurricane Dorian.

Check the headlines of the Palm Beach Post. They have already been delivered via cruise ships.

Sure, with the stipulation of a time limit. Just as if they were visiting and going back.

Why has it become okay to take the Lord’s name in vain on Free Republic. I’ve got the abuse button. I hope the mod pulls your post.

BINGO, the Bahamas are a B R I T I S H Crown COLONY: not OUR problem.

Send them to England, I’m sure the muslim mayor of London will welcome them with open arms.

Give them aid, but don’t bring them here. They are not OUR responsibility, they are Great Britain’s.

The Bahamas will need their people to rebuild their own island. They are needed in their country, not ours.

Rubio and Scott are just recognizing the obvious. They are coming here. The alternative for them is to starve. If you oppose it then you’ll just be made to look bad and they’ll end up coming anyway.

My prediction is that Trump will let them in. Youve got to choose your battles.

I agree, he has a wide ranging perspective and that’s one of his greatest strengths. The states are starting something up, it’ll be interesting to see how it ends.

As I wrote earlier, how about we buy the Bahamas, giving those residence US citizenship, which 99% will get once they come to America anyway. I am sure like most situations, none will want to ever return home. So let’s make a grand bargain, and make the Bahamas ours, rebuild it, make it great again!

No. The Haitians from over a decade ago have still not left.
