Immigration Department had nothing to do with fired Chinese workers

Read storyThe Department of Immigration played no part in the dismissal of Chinese workers from a Bahamian construction company last week.

E R Hanna Construction said last week that it would be forced to send about half of its 26 Chinese workers home because they were not able to renew their work permits.

Oh.. wow. Tre' Shame, E. B. Hanna, Tre' Shame. Did they really thing the Dept. of Imm. was gonna let their name be slathered through the news some more? Amidst the whole lambasting effort by Amnesty Int'l about the Detention Centre? Did they really think that?
Cheaper to blame the jitney's like everyone else. It's a Safe bet.
