I have had positive experiences, too, so I’m surprised by these rumors. I can only conclude that either (1) these stories are false rumors, or (2) the Haitians I met years ago were the ones who left Haiti to get away from the cat-eating Haitians. Maybe a small number of Haitians really do engage in this practice, while the majority do not. Maybe people started the practice after the earthquake devastated their country. Or, maybe a few real stories (like the geese story) led to out-of-control false rumors about other animals. Who knows?

Haiti is the Third World on steroids

A very small class of heigh functions people who are often very nice

And a huge underclass that is really really bad

Worked with Haiti during the first round of Clinton disaster relief and my experience was that Haiti has a lot of very problematic people that we do not want coming to the United States.

Eating cats and dogs, which they do (although animal sacrifice is much more of an issue), is the least of the problem.

Yes “who knows “
I have a friend who lives In Springfield and he says the situation is “horrible “ in his words and it has nothing to do with eating pets or geese

Accidents involving Haitians is serious. They go to the BMV with a letter and get driving privileges for 45 days which are renewable. No written or driving test and the accidents involving Haitians is high.

A woman he knows 82 and in an electric scooter was robbed mid street of groceries and rent money she had just withdrawn. She was asked how she knew they were Haitian and she said they were speaking French. She was a former teacher

My friend I worked with in the military and is now retired drives for the VA. Another example disabled vets being pushed down the waiting list for new housing because Haitians are given priority.

The mistake Trump made was going for the sensational rather than stating the fact that 20k Haitians had been dumped on a town of 60k and the strain that is putting on the city. As I understand it these are not folks who crossed the border illegally, but brought over by Harris/ xiden administration under “special circumstances “

My last point, it seems that the individuals you met might be different than the 20k dropped on Springfield. Just like those trying to immigrate legally and going through channels tend to be different than those crossing the border illegally.

I wonder what your experience might have been if instead of a few you met, you had 20k put into your city

If there’s video evidence, how can you say that these could be false rumors?
