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.

There has been a steady flow of Haitians into DR for over a hundred years. This is why so many in DR have French last names, especially in the barrios. Interestingly enough, the Dominican leader who was most brutal towards Haitian migrants (the massacres on the border became so commonplace that Kennedy gave the OK to have him deposed) was Trujillo, who, ironically had a Haitian grandmother.

BTW: Don't ever fall for the classic Dominican line that Doms are "not black like those Haitians." Most Dominicans look no different from black Americans, but are still more brown than Haitians (other than the mulatto elite).
