Haiti sanitation

Haitians are very well known for defecating in public. That will make them standout in Walmart some.

Back in 1992, I was a manager of a Kmart in Milford, Connecticut. We had lots of trouble with Haitians pooping in the middle of the store, the parking lot and in the dressing rooms. It's socially acceptable in Haiti to do so.

"Haiti suffers from the worst water and sanitation infrastructure in the Western Hemisphere. Following the 2010 cholera outbreak, the need to improve water and sanitation was critical in Haiti. CDC began working closely with Haiti’s National Directorate of Potable Water and Sanitation (DINEPA) to address crucial water, sanitation, and hygiene issues. A key piece of the response was fecal sludge management in Port-au-Prince.

Without access to a toilet, people around the world have no choice but to defecate (poop) outside in public (open defecation). This not only leaves individuals vulnerable to violence and embarrassment, but also encourages the spread of deadly infectious diseases like cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A, and typhoid. Progress has been made in providing access to improved sanitation facilities, which has greatly reduced open defecation. Yet, there is still much work to be done."

Somalis like to defecate in public too.

Coming from a culture that takes part in activities such as pooping in public, believing in witchcraft, killing people of other religions, circumsizing young girls, marrying and raping children, stoning people to death, killing LGBT@Qs and stealing on a huge level, should make someone a hard no, as a potential American citizen, unless they are incredibly well vetted.

American citizenship is very valuable and should be reserved for the worlds best immigrants.

Have any of you ever been to Haiti or spent time there?

No but I hear its great fishing for brown trout.

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.

Excellent point! Joe wants all Americans be vaccinated, but ignores these immigrants. The man's got the brain of a gnat!

Maybe you could enter into dialogue with some Haitians and ask them.

hope we don't wait too long to do something about it in this country.

and end up just like the protestors in D.C. Locked up. The Demorat administration would love to beat down some more Americans.

There's a reason the resource rich African continent and nations like Haiti are so jacked up. There's a reason once thriving cities like Houston and Atlanta are on a rapid decline.

And, it's not colonization, slavery or anything to do with white people. I have zero interest in enabling or feeling sorry for them.

Put them on a raft so they can float back.

You are mistaken-There is a much bigger number of "whites" today jacked up on crack and on welfare dragging down society-make sure you make seats on the raft for them too.

I'm not taking sides here nor making excuses for some of their actions. Timakak will be one of the few on here that will know, and understand why Haitian people have wanted and tried to leave their country for decades. Two people . . . “Papa Doc and Baby Doc” . . . They both can be compared to Idi Amin . . . nuff said from my experiences.

On the bright side, if there's a run on toilet paper again the Hattians want add to the numbers seeking that product.
