We can send aid and build temporary structures on the Islands and Nassau itself could shelter thousands; they don’t need to come here.
Agreed. But then, I've heard we don't nation-build any more.
While the Bahamians are basically good folks this would set a bad precident.

Yep....NO to refugee status for them in the US. They can stay in the Bahamas where they can work to help rebuild. What is being shown on American TV are the worst areas with the most devastation. Many areas do NOT have catastrophic destruction but merely repairable damage.
To the extent that they don’t already have it, the Bahamian government should pass AND ENFORCE stringent building codes. It’s amazing what good footers, foundations and code-compliant hurricane straps and tie downs can accomplish to hold buildings together.
All England has done is send royal condolences. Elizabeth, shame on you. Shame, shame, shame.
These new US immigrants didn’t have to wait at the hot southern border to get freebies.
BINGO, the Bahamas are a B R I T I S H Crown COLONY: not OUR problem.
Send them to England, I’m sure the muslim mayor of London will welcome them with open arms.
Give them aid, but don’t bring them here. They are not OUR responsibility, they are Great Britain’s.
