Cardin: Problem with Haitian Migrants Is Due to ‘Circumstances in Haiti’ and ‘Not as a Result of Our Southern Border’
breitbart ^ | 18 Sep 2021 | IAN HANCHETT

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) said that the situation on the border with large amounts of Haitian migrants “is the result of the circumstances in Haiti. It’s not as a result of our southern border.”

Cardin said, “I think the border issue, our southern border has mushroomed over the years because of the failure of immigration reform, basic immigration reform. The problem with the Haitians is the result of the circumstances in Haiti. It’s not as a result of our southern border. I recognize that. But we don’t have the proper facilities, the proper policies, the proper procedures for handling people who are showing up at our border. That needs to be changed, and it’s a fundamental problem with our immigration system.”

You’re correct. According to War Room reported by men at the border now the Haitians have been living for years comfortably in other countries such as Chile and Brazil. They are not in dire straights.

They saw that Biden rang the dinner bell and they showed up to take their chance to get into our country. It’s despicable we are forced to watch our country’s total destruction. We may never recover from these terrible errors.

I’m fed up with democrat idiots who want to virtue signal by dumping these people IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS...

They look grandiose and we pay the damn price. If white liberal ‘elites’ want to show us how wonderful they are build some high risers next to your damn mansions and house a few extra 89,000 on Martha’s Vineyard...

Maybe 40,000 next to General Lloyd Austin’s mansion... and a few million in Biden’s various home towns...
\
A few million where Biden’s SS troops (top people at the FBI) live... their top rank mansions...

I follow the ICE flights. I have never seen one planeload landing in MD or Delaware.

Bush’s and Clintons’ fault really. The American people donated Billions to help the Haitians and then Bush let the Clintons handle those billions that were supposed to fix Haiti.

Cuba is a LOT closer, they aren't going there!

The Dominican Republic is even closer - they're not going there, either.

Oh wait: the Dominicans built a wall and they enforce their border. Hmmm...

Liberia was a mixed bag.

On the minus side, they went out and acquired their own slaves to work their plantations.

On the plus side, they developed the best economy in Central Africa, freed their slaves and developed one of the finest merchant shipping fleets in the world.

All was well for 130 years or so, then the descendants of their slaves turned on the descendants of freed American slaves.

Why do Democrat/communists ALWAYS side against America?

Here’s my question: How did these people get from an island to Mexico? Who arranged their transportation? - Soros I’d bet!

“Not since 1795”

Actually they still have rights within the French system.

Which is why you see many Haitians in the French overseas departments like the French Antilles (Guadeloupe, Martinique) and French Guiana.

I assume that means they may have some collateral rights to emigrate to former French colonies like Senegal and Chad, but have not been to those places. Algeria fits in there too.

France does not have a Commonwealth system like Britain but rather a web of immigration and nationality laws that vary by country of origin. For example, travel to other French Overseas Departments from former French colonies is a right guaranteed by them; thus you will see Montagnards (Hmong) in French Guiana, along with ethnic Chinese Catholics from Vietnam and Laos (i.e., French Indochina).

What they have a harder time doing is emigrating to Metropolitan France, i.e., France itself. French Overseas Departments are still nominally part of France and thus the EU; if you look at the Euro you will see a map of the EU, and it includes the French Antilles and FG. People who are residents of those places have a much easier time of getting to France itself, although it’s not a guarantee. But if you are from an old colony, while it may be easier to get into one of the Overseas Departments, getting into France itself will be almost as hard as simply emigrating from any other country. Almost. Lots of Haitians working in Metropolitan France.

So it’s reasonable for us to ask France to take care of their problems. Unfortunately for Haiti, the French still remember the slaughter of 17,000 French troops back in 1804 by the rebelling slaves, and are reticent about being too generous with their descendants.

They would love it for us to saddle ourselves with the problem. But it’s not ours. We didn’t start the slave trade in the Americas; the Spanish and the Portugese did, and the French jumped in joyfully. So the crap about shuffling their feet and whistling while they try to step away from their problems is just that: crap.

It ain’t our problem. But it did cause a big problem for us two centuries ago: the massacre was very much in the minds of the slaveholders when they refused to negotiate an emancipation; they knew what happened in the islands. And I think Jum Crow was yet another rearguard action to stave off such similar retaliation, and that war is still going on in our streets today.
