I hope all goes well for you but if by chance something bad happens due to the fact that Haiti is corrupt through and through make sure you realize that our State Department won’t do squat if they find out you’re a conservative who didn’t vote for the 0ne. Just sayin’
Again, as I shared on other threads from the Kansas Star, these people were “asked” to pay $300/head for the paperwork that was requested. They refused to pay it and were arrested shortly thereafter. They haven’t had adequate US representation from the State Department and now it appears that a scammer has made matters worse. Good lord, Hitlery is in the SoS and the zer0 won’t step up for white conservative christians.
I’m sure I’ll be fine, I’ve been around the block once or twice. Thanks.
There's no source for that claim other than an e-mail of unknown origin.
http://www.kansascity.com/703/story/1728522.html In fact, said the Rev. James Keller, pastor of Topeka’s Bethel Baptist Church, the group had tried to get the correct paperwork. In an e-mail from the Idaho church that organized the mission, Keller read that the group tried three times to acquire the paperwork before they were asked to pay $300 a head for the children to cross the border. Culberth’s group refused, Keller said, and before long they were arrested.
Who knows where the information in this e-mail came from (or for that matter, who at "the Idaho church" sent it to Keller). Maybe from a member of the group, who may have gotten the info from Silsby, who may have made it up. But more to the point, even if one takes the information in the e-mail as accurate, it was only after they'd repeatedly tried and FAILED to get paperwork -- which they were NEVER going to be given by any legitimate Haitian official, because there was no reason to let this crazy unqualified group take any children out of the country -- that finally some corrupt border guard offered to let them take the children out illegally if they'd pay the guard $300 a head. In a corruption-infested country, when there's no legal way to do something, it's not hard to find to somebody who'll help you do it illegally in exchange for a bribe, but that's hardly a defense for the people who were trying to do something illegal.
And note that the e-mail doesn’t say “these people were “asked” to pay $300/head for the paperwork that was requested”. It says “they were asked to pay $300 a head for the children to cross the border”. Big difference. There’s not any evidence at all that anyone with authority to provide the legally required documentation for these children to be taken out of the country, ever offered to provide it at any price. Somebody at the border offered to let them cross in spite of not having the legally required paperwork, as long as the somebody got a big wad of cash.
