SOUTH FLORIDA, USA – As President Donald Trump continues to roll out his immigration crackdown, one of the executive orders many Bahamians have their eye on is the one moving to end birthright citizenship.

How are Bahamian Americans in South Florida feeling about it all?

Born and raised in Grand Bahama, Sonless Martin has been living in South Florida for his entire adult life.

Taking an active role in public policy in the past, often acting as a liaison between local and federal government in his work.

When asked how President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship to babies born in the U.S.

Unless their parents are citizens or legal residents might impact the Bahamians who schedule family planning around this benefit.

“A lot of what’s been proposed will be stuck in court as of right now so nothing officially has been implemented I mean he signed some executive order so of course that will take some time to implement,” Martin said.

“So until that happens and we have a better and clearer picture of how we can move forward.”

And he says the positive impact of Bahamians in Florida shouldn’t be underestimated.
