Is the Tonton Macoute still around. They kept Baby Doc and his wife in power. But Baby Doc was an anti-Communist who kept the Soviets out, so we looked the other way.

Ah:
1: Take over the place.
2. Wait for the Democrats to make it a state.
3. Well, you know what comes next.

Tell biden to just use one of his nukes on the place.

Anything we try to do try will be pointless and a waste of resources. And, most likely only make things worse. They need to resolve their problems themselves.

Almost all of the Haitians I’ve met are decent folks but....but they cannot run their country. Not a race thing but a culture thing.

Lol. No surprise there.
Well, women are equal or superior to men in all things now. So ship ‘em out!

Ummm...why? We've been told repeatedly by our woke leftists that the US is the worst nation in the world, primarily because of white people. Why should we interfere in a predominantly black nation's problems? Let them figure it out - surely they'll do great without whites.

Or not. We could choose to stand on the sidelines and let someone else assist. Given our recent history, our “nation-building” skills are somewhat non-extant...

"Expect a flood of Haitian refugees to hit Florida just in time to vote against DeSantis in 2022."
That's probably why Pelosi is setting up a Capitol Hill police office in Florida, along with California.

All we’ve done to Haiti over the years and drop free food and doctors on them.
What’s the result? Nobody wants to farm there, because who can compete with free food. And who wants to be a doctor when the doctors are free. Basically Haitians had no incentive to create their own infrastructure, so the cycle of dependency on foreign aid becomes perpetual.

Under no circumstances should any US troops be sent to the Haitian hell hole, except Dementia Joe wants to send his “elite” transgender troops to Haiti of course. Didn’t we learn anything from invading Iraq and Afghanistan?
