Considering the conditions in Haiti currently and the fact that the amnesty is only temporary, I will try to refrain from sarcastic comments about amnesties for illegal emigrant law breakers.
Napolitano ADMITS there are as many as 200,000 illegal alien Haitians in the country. And now they all get to stay. I say cancel the diversity lottery entirely until the temporary protected status of all TPS groups — Haitians, Salvadorans, Nicaraguans, Hondurans, Somalis, Sudanese — has been resolved, that is, until they are no longer protected and have to go home. Why is every natural disaster in the world our responsibility?
>If refugees take to the sea—the normal reaction to turmoil throughout Haiti’s recent history—officials in the U.S. and other countries will have to grapple with how to deal with a new wave of immigrants, most of whom will arrive without visas.
Very simple solution...tow them back to their mainland and scuttle their boat. Repeat as necessary and be polite about it.
This is quietly going to become an open-door policy for Haitians, who are just about the most ignorant, hysterical and easily manipulated Marxist-leaning people in this hemisphere and will make great Dem voters.
The Dominican Republic, which shares the same island with Haiti, is fighting against letting them in because Dominicans realize that Haitians are nuts and will be nothing but a destabilizing force.
Haitians, who flee from political strife, coups, the recent earthquake, get warned that their stay here is only temporary, yet those crossing illegally from south of the border get to stay with no reprise, and the promise of permanent amnesty?
Regards,
I’ve been doing a slow burn as our military is once more put in the role of social worker. This is a military and national security crisis. Chavez and Castro will take action if we don’t. It’s time to occupy Haiti for national security reasons and get control of the country. Maybe down the road we can do nation building since that’s worked so well in other parts of the world s\ but for now, order has to be restored at a minimum of risk to our military and relief workers. Its not going to happen though for fear the US will be accused of “gasp” imperialism. We’ve become a nation of wimps.
Any Haitians who put a foot on US soil illegally or not, will never go home. Period.
We still have Nicaraguans who came here after the 1979 Managua quake. They got extension after extension and then amnesty.
Every Haitian in the USA ever, is here to stay, forever.
I think the last “temporary” amnesty, for Honduras and/or El Salvador because of flooding or some such, lasted about 15 years, renewed again and again by ‘Toon and then by Georgie Jr.
