Let the whining begin
People evacuating to the US from the Bahamas were turned away from a ferry because they didn't have a visa. A visa was not required to travel before but now one is. Probably because they want to keep track of these people and make sure they go back home.

More than 100 people attempting to flee the devastation in the Bahamas have been kicked off a rescue boat bound for Florida for not having a US visa.
About 130 Bahamians in Freeport were forced off a ferry before it left on Sunday evening after a surprise announcement was made on board barring those without a visa from entering the US for refuge.
'Please, any person that doesn't have a US visa please proceed to disembark,' the announcement rang over the loudspeaker on board, leaving Bahamians stunned and confused after initially being told they could board with just a passport and police record.
This comes just days after Florida lawmakers Marco Rubio and Rick Scott urged President Trump to waive or suspend visa requirements for Bahama citizens who have relatives in the US and are seeking refuge after Hurricane Dorian swept through the islands.
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
I can understand young, old and sick people needing to be evaced but the healthy and strong need to stay and get to cleaning up the mess and rebuilding. From what I see on the news they need food, tents, water along with shovels, wheel barrows and a few bulldozers to get the mess pushed into a pile and burned, then set your tent and start rebuilding.
I hope this doesn't turn into another Haiti where everyone just sits around in the squalor and whines...................

yet if they went to the southern border, Pelosi and crew would gladly let them in and give em free healthcare.... 0 -
I am sure these migrants will have some libtard self hating person waiting for them to get them enrolled in every benefit imaginable, too include food stamps, healthcare and every other thing they can get.
And yes we will be paying for it.
If you look at the pictures everyone of them looks to weigh in at about 250-300 pounds...........they damn sure aren't going hungry.
I also read that the Red Cross doesn't want food and clothes donated they want money...............Food and clothes are too much trouble if they get money then they can buy stuff...........I wouldn't give the Red Cross a bucket of used motor oil.
What I want know is where are the other commonwealth country's? I see some British Navy personnel are there with a few ships but what about all the BC in the Caribbean???????? Heck Turks and Caicos is almost as close as FL.0 -
when we have staff of one of our woman elected to congress being sent south of the border by her to help get illegals ACROSS ..she should be drummed out of office.........so giving away billions of $$$$$$$$$$$$ to another foreign nation to rebuild everything from the ground up seems inevitable...
......congress is truly a SWAMP0 -
I do feel sorry for them, but I have been there twice. There needs to be a good flushing every once in a while down there. What I saw saw was nothing but a rat hole. 0 -

Unfortunately, the "flushing," seems to lead to our Country. Damn, what a surprise.0 -
+1 on flushing
I have been there several times on vacation. My wife and in-laws think its a great place to go(I could care less).
I list it under the category of chithole tourist trap along with most of the Caribbean. Get away from the "Tourist" places and its a chithole.
I stopped going a few years ago because I cannot stand my pretentious in-laws but my old lady goes every once in a while.
The love the place so I called them and asked what they were going to do to help out, they said nothing
Typical fucsticks........ I am done.
A guy I worked for is going to help out I sent him 100 to help his expenses. He is a good guy a little green but a good guy and will do what he can.0 -
Aren't they "subjects" of UK? 0 -

London calling??
Why are we, (USA) picking up the ball/tab on this?
They are Humans, and in need. I get that.
Are we to donate Tax $$, in order to save the entire World?
If the Bahamas are an English Commonwealth, let them take care of it. Or not.0 -

So shouldn't they send a Carnival ship to take them to the UK and not bring them to the US? Unless they're "supposed" to catch a flight from the US? Everything is Trump's fault, huh? Brotha can't catch a break.0 -

You and I both know that's how it should be, but we also know Uncle Sugar will step up to the plate first so the tax payer gets saddled with another billion dollar bill/burden.0
