Haitians might arrive at Tampa
The Tampa Tribune ^ | January 17, 2010 | Howard Altman

Posted on 01/17/2010 5:40:31 PM PST by 4Runner

Haitian evacuees may soon be flying into Tampa International Airport.

Tampa and other Florida airports are on "stand-by" alert to receive evacuees as part of a massive effort to help the earthquake-ravaged nation, said airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan.

Airport officials anticipate only a two-hour advance notice of aircraft arrival before being able to implement operating procedures - triage mode or passenger processing mode.

Evacuees may be healthy or in need of medical attention, she said in a media release. And some Haitians may have friends or family in the United States and need connecting air service or assistance and a place to stay.

we are being screwed yet again
never let a crisis go to waste

immigrant groups and the black caucus and the NAACP have been wanting this for years and now they use this to get what they want.

WTH is going on, and surely they can’t just bring them and who is paying.

we all know they will not go back plus will they get straight on the census.

this is just nuts plain and simple

Italy had an earth quake too but I never heard any cries for them to come here .

if crist and obama want them then let them house them in their own house and let them pay for them from their own pockets

BO is just following in Jimmah Carter’s footsteps once again. Remember the infamous Mariel Boat Lift, when Castro deposited 125,000 Cubans, many of them criminals and mental patients, along the Gulf Coast and Carter allowed it? You’d think Southerners would scream bloody murder after that fiasco, but apparently they are only sheeple with a drawl.

I’m not so sure I would have a problem if there were secure, temporary refugee camps

That's what they said in Houston. Ask them what they think about it now.

BTW, get with the program. These are evacuees, not refugees. Not PC to call anybody a refugee.

They will be about as 'temporary' as the invaders coming across our southern border. They will find every excuse in the book to keep them here and set them up on public assistance. We are allowing our politicians to Zimbabwe us.

Well one more for the Gipper. I have been postng this all day since my news analysis this early morning on all the "Haitian Aid " threads.

Come on.Don't you know yet how Obama works? He had a choice between:

a) a rapid response ( to his mind,Imperialistic)military response that would have secured Port au Prince and delivered immediate military security and aid within 48 hours.

b) the kumbayah UN aid model with a conglomeration of aid agencies that will fight with the US military rather that deliver stockpiled aid, AKA, the UN AID GOAT F_CK ( UNAGF).The UNAGF lines the pockets of crooks and organized crime in any country it "helps."The people mostly starve and the aid agencies do mock protests about the barbaric nature of the testosterone driven natives, while simultaneously denigrating and interfering with military assistance.

Guess which model of aid Obama chose? Buahahahahahahahah!

Ask yourself: WHY?

You got to know how Obama works by now!

HINT1: ( the aid is designed not to work so that an emergency alternative will have to be invoked by Obama.)

HINT2: ( If you have to read hint 2 , you are either naive or dumber than dirt, but we take mercy on you in either case: I give you this word array: immigrant, refugees,votes,1 million,settle in red states)

no way should any of them come here.
those who are here are not gong to help their families or rebuild their own country instead they want their family to come here

well who is paying for all of this then?

If even one person has no problem of any of them coming here then let them pay out of their own pocket and let them stay at their own house

this is my state and we are broke so to thousands of them come here is nuts,
We won’t even know if they are healthy, had shots, were they from a gang, drugged up

the island was a cesspool of crime before this and we will have no idea who they bring over there.

anyone who falls for this is not thinking straight at all or thinking about the repercussions of thousands of them coming here.

If we’re gonna be flyin’ them for “free”, then fly them to Zimbabwe or Somalia, where they’ll live in similar conditions to the rathole they’re leaving.

I've had an ill feeling to since this began, in terms of how zer0 would use this.

Candor7 had a rather bold prediction, one that was certainly in the realm of being potentially correct, which is why of course I pinged .

This "crisis", as well as Tuesday should be quite telling indeed.

Watch out for curve balls!

I remember the Merial boat lifts. Camps under the 395 & I95, and Krome detention center. This will make any inner city clean up efforts that were done in the last years a wasted effort. Get ready for a surge in crime, and homelessness. And the cities will be a cesspool. It took years for Miami to clean up after the boat lift.

Crist, where are you on this?

” Remember the infamous Mariel Boat Lift, “

Many of the Cubans were housed at Ft Chaffee, Arkansas.
And when they rioted and escaped , it cost Gov Bill Clinton the next election.

Send them to Detroit. If they can get used to the cold, they will fit right in with the locals.

Hell, that might actually be another good way to get more “Obama Money” into Motown...Haitians in Detoilet, Mooslums over in Shitcago....the possibilities are endless...
