NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Immigration Minister Keith Bell issuing a stern warning to anyone living or working illegally in The Bahamas, saying, “Wind up your affairs and leave immediately.”
Bell addressing the issue of immigration in the House of Assembly, Wednesday morning, noting The Bahamas cannot sustain the influx of illegal migrants to the country.
He says fears come along with immigration, including fears over job loss for Bahamians, overpopulation in urban areas, substandard housing, overflows in clinics and schools.
