Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.

The policy folks (and their pres) are sadists.

It's a shame Frumpy doesnt have a sharpie he can use to draft an executive order for these people.

I wish I lived in Florida and had a boat. Mercy! Mercy PLEASE for these suffering people!

(20,629 posts)little cabana boy Miller would make things difficult for the Bahamians, as they probably view them as being from a "shit-hole country", and sure enough, he's proving me correct.

(2,021 posts)Most of those people probably have no papers at all, fleeing completely destroyed homes. How are they supposed to request a visa on a flooded island with no working electricity or communications to speak of? Dumps administration are criminals of the worst kind.

(5,240 posts)If you normally have to have a visa and police record print out to get into the US from the Bahamas why does the tweet say that it isn't normal to have them removed from the boat if they don't have a visa?
