Look around your house and count the things you got from Haiti.

Zero.

Tariffs won’t budge the Haitian government, when it has one again.

It’s a screwdriver, not a hammer.

Trump’s got a full toolbox.

Dump all the Haitian illegals onto the Haitian embassies. Don’t let them leave the property unless it’s to get onto planes paid for by Haiti (with us paying the US marshals to oversee it).

That’ll put the cost onto Haiti and teach them not to create the problem again. Do the same with other embassies and their illegals.

Cutting off the “aid” will.

That’s what I was thinking. Illegals are showing up from Uzbekistan, El Salvador, etc. whom we have no business/trade relationships with. I appreciate Trump’s motives but what about those countries?

Then cut off all foreign aid to them

Of course, foreign aid should go to zero anyway.

**Tariffs won’t budge the Haitian government, when it has one again.**
Use the Dominican Republic as a getting off point. They won’t stick around too long.

**China won’t take them unless they have passports showing
that they are Chinese citizens.**
Would Taiwan be an option? A different language? I’d give Viet Nam the $4 billion Kissinger promised. They’ll take them and kick them out too.

Give money to ElSalvador to build another maximum security prison so they can take on the gang-bangers.

I don’t think it would have a negative effect on our economy if there were to be certain countries that received complete moratoriums on their people being allowed into the US, Haiti being one of those countries.

Sure, there will be handwringing, whining, finger-pointing, and accusations of xenophobia and hate, but so what else is new from the Left? Haiti routinely blames us (and every other country that’s ever been there) for all of their problems so why the heck do they want to come here for anything except to get on the Free Stuff Gravy Train? Keep ‘em out.

Baseballs used to come from Haiti. There were good baseballs. After MLB started sourcing from Red China instead (what, the Haitians were charging too much?) the balls were noticeably springier and home run counts went up. Personally, I liked the idea of having one source for baseballs that had it as a craft for generations.

haiti is easy, just boat them close enough to swim in and push them overboard.

That is if they refuse to take them back.

Haiti needs to be taken over as a US protectorate. Clean it up. Or let Dominican Republic annex it in a slow methodical way ( vs. refugees streaming across the border).

Load up a few C 17s and drop them off. Does anyone remember the Berlin Airlift: “During the entire airlift, the U.S. and U.K. delivered more than 2.3 million tons of food, fuel and supplies to West Berlin via more than 278,000 airdrops. American aircrews made more than 189,000 flights, totaling nearly 600,000 flying hours and exceeding 92 million miles.”
