We turned a blind eye to the crimes of the Duvaliers, because “they kept the Commies out.”
Even sub IQ communists know that Haiti is a losing proposition.
Historically very common for Christians to be martyred trying to bring their faith to others. Honor those, in this world and the next, to whom that happens who went in understanding the risk. But I’d agree those who did not understand and accept the risk shouldn’t be going there. The only taxpayer aid I’d let go to that island would be weapons to the Dominicans. Keep those gang members in Haiti! Haiti needs a national sink or swim test with no outside help. It will generate lots of crab food, but it is the only way anything sustainably good will ever come from there. Don’t let anyone out or in until then.
