The nation of Haiti has been the target of US interventions many times. It’s been a disaster for most of my life. I feel that many of these people qualify as refugees.
Yes, the probably eat wildlife and pets. They have learned to survive under horrible conditions. No, the may not have culturally adjusted to a new environment. Putting so many in one small place is bad planning.
The reality is that America cannot police the world nor absorb the people from failed socialist autocratic states. The socialists are already poised here to go full “Argentina” in the US, and you never want to go full Argentina or Venezuela.
I am not against immigrants or refugees. I am for legally doing it with reasonable maximum allowable numbers to people who contribute. Dependents get returned to nation of origin.
But that the problem. All of these people are dependent once they get here with nothing but the clothes in their backs. They’re all dirt poor and in need. Many come here and do work hard in constriction and other areas, but they all draw benefits while working in low pay jobs. It’s a drain on us …. Talk to any of them -their intent is always to “go back home” once they get old. They’re just here to milk us — no intention on investing in life here. Contrast that with legal immigrants who desire to actually take the oath and swear in as Americans — they ARE here to have a better life and contribute.
There needs to be more effort to assimilate migrants into our culture. What we’re experiencing here in the Springfield area is reverse assimilation, our community is turning into Haiti where they do not and are not forced (still driving without insurance) to follow the law.
