SCBills Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Maybe Biden can airlift some Haitians in while we all sleep. We could all stand to be culturally enriched by some witchcraft, dark occult and cannibalism. 1 1

sherpa Posted March 11 Posted March 11 My son in law works for the gov, though certainly not part of the Administration, and part of his area is Haiti. He spends a lot of time there. This one isn't on Biden, in my view. 2

Niagara Bill Posted March 11 Posted March 11 The point really is, who gives a rats bum. The real world has enough saving to be done and this island has no reason or qualities that should entice any of us to step in. Haiti has been a disaster for generations and all we would get for helping is grief. It would be a waste of people and equipment. 1

Beyond that, on a strategic level, insane, out of control regimes tend to spill over borders. Haiti shares a border with the Dominican Republic, which we have strong and strategic ties to. Haiti is not currently fixable, but the disease must be controlled, like cancer. 1

There should be more ćoncern about these people running to Columbia and finding their way to the southern borders, like the 100s of thousands of African who have no redeeming value to North America except human. Crooks, murderers, druggies, drug sellers. It is all too easy to be included in the invasion of North America. We have enough under educated in our cities. If there is an island to help it is Cuba, and the other side of the mountains in Español, DR.

Precision Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Bravo, bravo, another foreign policy failure by the administration in a country less than 1000 miles from America's border. Now that Haiti is a failed state the administration is finally waking up to the urgency of the situation. Unfortunately, the time to intervene was long before armed gangs controlled the country. Once again, the administrations lack of foresight mirrors the mental acuity of the president. The fall of Haiti was no surprise as there were warning such as (to name just a few from 2023): April of 2023 - UN warns of historic violence in Haiti and need for intervention. July of 2023 - US State Department evacuated non-emergency personnel from the country. August of 2023 - US State Department advised Americans to leave Haiti. November 2023 - UN report released regarding increasing gang violence and the need for a multinational peacekeeping force. None of these events motivated the Biden administration to take action, deciding to wait until Haiti fell into total chaos rather than assist a semi-functioning government. Now, Americans will reap the benefits of that decision with millions of dollars going to Haiti, Haitian migrants coming to the US and inevitably dead US soldiers. Biden will undoubtedly tout the late US response as a "victory" with no thought given to the carnage he left behind. Per the UN report in November 2023 regarding the violence "more than 3,000 people dead along with thousands of others who were injured or victims of kidnappings." 1
