Nassau, The Bahamas - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
deplores the comment made by a Florida state representative to boycott The
Bahamas over its immigration policy.
The comments were reported as
follows:Florida State Representative Daphne
Campbell spoke out on the issue at a press conference in Little Haiti
Monday
morning. "I'm asking all, all cruises and all tourists, to make sure every
industry boycotts the Bahamas to end discrimination against Haitian
children," Campbell stated. "Boycott Bahamas! Boycott Bahamas!
Boycott Bahamas!"
The comments of the
State representative are foolish and are so baseless as to almost bear no
response. However, it is important for the record to say that the
allegations made about The Bahamas and its policies as it relates to children
made by this representative are lies.
