Amend Article 7 of our Constitution to remove any doubt or question regarding entitlement to citizenship; to enshrine in that document that only a child of natural born or naturalised citizens can expect automatic registration as a citizen.

The Issue

The increasing numbers of illegal aliens breaching our borders and having large numbers of children, who on achieving their majority, apply for registration as Bahamians while keeping their cultural heritage first and foremost in preference, threatens our cultural identity and our very sovereignty. 
Large numbers of any single illegal ethnic group present burdens on our finite resources, and mass uncontrolled immigration cannot be allowed.
