To answer a question from above, yes, I have been to Haiti. I was a missionary there for two year. I became fluent in Haitian Creole, I lived with them, I ate their food, I used their transportation, I saw their struggles, I learned what their life goals were. Haitians, as a whole, are wonderful people. They want the same things that we do as Americans. They want to have food security, shelter security, they want clean water, they want to get an education, they want freedom from oppressive governments and gangs, they want to be treated and respected as human beings. As I read the above posts it made me want to distance myself from this group. The comments were myopic and show a complete disregard for the struggles that people, from all countries and economic situations have to endure. I was born and raised in this country. I didn’t have to struggle to get here, neither did my parents or grandparents. How can one expect a foreigner, that has fought their ENTIRE life just to survive, to come to this country and live the way we live? It must be nice to have not known the struggles that these people have known. I’m not excusing certain behaviors, but there should be a showing of compassion rather than contempt.

Why don’t they make it happen?

Poor because of overpopulation and no money in their country thus no opportunity no matter how hard they work.I bet most will do well where they actually have opportunity.The lazy people in society are not the immigrants.Their offspring born in western countries become lazy like the decadent residents.

I have a solution to this Haitian problem. Dump several busloads of these immigrants in Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. People with money live there and should be willing to share their homes. They could pitch heated tents in back yards to live in during winter if not enough room in houses. Set up port-a-pottys and have them pumped out once in a while. Obama has a mansion there. I am sure he would love these people living with him.
