well said...I am with you and unlike most here...I know Haiti...it’s a pitiful place and has been since the slave rebellion and it deserves our charity as a peoples

no one short of nutty Dems would ever think of annexing the place

most kids here forget we occupied the place 70 years ago and built most of the old infrastructure they would have never had otherwise

Thanks. I'm retired military and I've seen nasty situations and hungry people here and there all over the world. I always feel for them but I don't want to bring them all home with me.
I have friends who were born in Mexico who think that the US should invade Mexico and make it a territory like Puerto Rico and Guam. Their idea kind of left me flat footed. For us “evil white guys” to even consider invading Mexico is beyond comprehension. They insist that it is the only way that the Mexican people will have any security, peace, and rule of law. People all over the world would give about anything to have the security and opportunity we have in out country. They are literally dieing to get in. I live in a community that is 60% hispanic. What we are hearing about the bloodshed in Mexico in the American news is far from complete. We have access to newspapers from northern Mexico and what they say is going on is much worse. Today, there was a football team of high-school boys executed while celebrating a win at a private home. 13 high-school boys, unarmed, murdered in cold blood. Over three hundred young ladies have been found in the last 3 years, within 25 miles south of our border, raped and murdered. There are another couple hundred missing it appears that they just haven't found them yet. So, what are we going to do with Mexico?? There is no easy answer but the time is coming when all of this violence is going to explode on our side of the border and it will be front page news. The time is coming when we will have to do something. Haiti is just another entry on that list that we have to figure out. This earthquake has put it front and center in the news and now we can't ignore it either.
