Fears that Haitians in Nassau are producing children at a much higher rate than Bahamians grew yesterday as alarming birth figures were revealed by concerned medical staff.<\/P><\/p>\n
More than 90 per cent of births at Princess Margaret Hospital are to non-Bahamian parents, a concerned doctor told Teh Tribune. And the vast majority are Haitians.<\/P><\/p>\n
The massive imbalance sparked the concern that the Bahamas could be heading for a Miami-type situation, where hispanics now have such a hold that Spanish has become the dominant language of commerce.<\/P><\/p>\n
Last night, concerned Bahamians expressed fears that Creole would \uffa0soon become the second language of the Bahamas, with merchants and government institutions having to introduce it to survive.<\/P><\/p>\n
The doctor claimed that of the 96 live births recorded at PMH during August, only three were Bahamian babies.<\/P><\/p>\n
