Haiti in Chaos As Armed Gangs Take Over Capital, US Embassy Staff Evacuated
Newsweak ^ | 3/10/24 | Ellie Cook

The U.S. Embassy in Haiti is evacuating some of its personnel from the nation's capital as rampant gang violence intensifies.

"Heightened gang violence in the neighborhood near U.S. Embassy compounds and near the airport led to the State Department's decision to arrange for the departure of additional embassy personnel," the embassy, based in Port-au-Prince, said in a statement on Sunday.

The embassy remains open. The U.S. had previously warned its citizens that they should "depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options."

Earlier this month, armed gangs orchestrated jailbreaks from Haiti's two largest prisons and demanded the resignation of the Caribbean nation's prime minister, Ariel Henry. The Haitian leader is not currently in the country, and is petitioning the international community for a United Nations-backed security force to step in.

“Since the 2010 earthquake, the United States has made available over $5.1 billion for assistance to Haiti to support life-saving post-disaster relief as well as longer-term recovery, reconstruction, and development programs.” ~ The White House

How many millions will be flown in here as “refugees fleeing their war-torn country” - provided with immediately, full welfare benefits, of course - housing, food, schooling, medical care.

Then, they’ll each be able to bring 90 of their closest relatives for “family reunification.”

Maybe if the Clinton Foundation did more than pay for Chelsea’s wedding dress, it wouldn’t have come to this.

Send the Clintons again. They stole millions from them the last time they helped out. They owe the Haitian people a freebie. Since the country has devolved into cannibalism, Hitllary’s fat a$$ could feed a bunch of them.

Judge allows Biden admin program that lets in 30,000 asylum-seekers a month

Just the News ^ | 3/8/24 | By Natalia Mittelstadt

Posted on 3/9/2024, 4:27:08 AM by CFW

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a challenge from 21 states against a Biden administration program that allows 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. from four countries each month.

U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton ruled that Texas and 20 other Republican-led states didn’t have legal standing in the lawsuit because they didn’t demonstrate suffered financial harm from the federal program, the Associated Press reported.

The program lets a total of up to 30,000 asylum-seekers enter the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

“In reaching this conclusion, the Court does not address the lawfulness of the Program,” Tipton wrote in his ruling.

The states argued that the program forces them to spend millions of dollars on health care, education, and public safety for the asylum-seekers.

Haiti doesn’t need to be towed to Africa. It re-Africanized in place.

The Caribbeaners should have paid attention to their own country and government instead of trying to figure out how to sneak into a white, capitalist, Christian country run by racist, capitalist Caucasians.

That’s what you call an insurrection. Maybe now the dumb Dems can see the difference.

The US has tried so many times to rescue Haiti and it hasn’t ever worked.

Let some other country try.
