If there are plans to bring thousands of orphaned children, it would be best to streamline the adoption process and get them into good families. No burden on one community and it will actually do the children much more good than creating a cultural ghetto for them.

Potential democrats!
I saw it reported that Haiti has a very high population of AIDs infected persons. So, I wonder if there will be any attempt to screen for health concerns? It would be prudent given that the Dims so badly want health care reform.
This is the last thing our state needs!! What can we as Florida citizens do to let the message out that we don’t want them?
Camp of the Saints. Why not? Just adds to current invasion underway. I guess we will take on all comers until the lifeboats sink and kill us all.
Folks have no idea how ilprepared these Haitians are for our world.
Why?
Many years back (30-35 maybe) the National Lampoon magazine came up with the line,”Haitians are the official state n*ggers of Florida.” I have never forgotten that quip for some strange reason. Sounds as if it might be applicable today...SSZ
I'm a Floridian.

Quite the opposite.
After 22 Years, HIV Travel and Immigration Ban Lifted
“The United States of America has moved one step closer to helping combat the stigma and ignorance that still too often guides public policy debates around HIV/AIDS,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese.

Washington – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, hailed the announcement that a ban on HIV positive visitors and immigrants entering the country, first established in 1987, has been lifted. A regulation promulgated by the Obama administration last summer and finalized in November goes into effect today, removing HIV from the list of communicable diseases that bar foreign nationals from entering the United States.
Zero lifted the ban on giving Visas to HIV positive visitors. **src on***Perfect timing!***src off. Also, Haiti has one of the highest rates of TB on the world. When they talk about Haiti living in the 18th century they really mean it. The thing missing is the pox.
“Do we have a choice in this....Do we have a voice?”
No, and No.
..although those with Aids are very susceptible to tuberculosis
And isn't there a drug resistant strain of tuberculosis now.
That’s what I am trying to find out. I am also a Florida citizen.
They have my sympathy, but why Florida? Why not send some of them to the other 49 states?
Wonderful...just great. /s
Then why in the hell aren't these "charities" being made to foot the bill instead of dumping more Third World illiterates on us? The langauge barrier is tremendous (Hataian Creole), let alone the culture. I know it's TV, but just watch "Cops", using interpreters, when they are working the Hispanic/Hatain slums to see what we're importing.
Send them to Mexico, Costa Rica, all those countries that take our money but refuse to extratite hardened criminals.
