SHOULD WE ALLOW LARGE NUMBERS OF HAITIANS INTO AMERICA?
TREMENDOUS SUFFERING IN HAITI
Haiti is a disaster zone after the earthquake. Haiti was a disaster zone before the earthquake only with standing buildings. America has opened it’s heartstrings and purse strings to the Haitian people since the earthquake. It is the right thing to do. No other country is willing to send the resources and people. China reportedly sent only $5 million! $5 million! Hey China, thanks for nothing! America has always been a benevolent country willing to give it’s treasure and young to help less advantaged countries, especially in times of calamity. AWD believes our generosity defines our culture.
Should large numbers of Haitians be allowed to enter the United States? Their country is destroyed and most likely will never be rebuilt to what it was. Haiti has been a corrupt, banana republic living off foreign aid from America and, to a lesser extent, other countries for generations. With their country in ruins and little prospect of rebuilding, what will become of the Haitians? Many in America are calling for Homeland Security to open the gates to allow mass numbers of Haitians into the US.
Here are a few important points from a study from the Center for Immigration Studies on Haitian immigration to the USA:
* Of Haitian immigrants (ages 25 to 65) 22 percent have not graduated from high school and 18 percent have a college degree. This compares to 9 percent and 30 percent, respectively, for native-born Americans.
* The share of Haitian immigrants and their young children (under 18) living in poverty is 20 percent. For native-born Americans and their young children it is 11.6 percent.
* Of households headed by Haitian immigrants 46 percent use at least one major welfare program. For households headed by native-born Americans it is 20 percent.
For these reasons, I say no, we should not allow more Haitians to immigrate to the US. American cannot continue to be the perpetual caretaker for the poor people of the world. It’s not that I don’t feel for them, I also feel for the poor people of other countries who suffer disasters or live in abject poverty. Perhaps I would feel different about allowing mass numbers of Haitians into the US if we didn’t already have over 20 million (at least) third-world, illegal aliens sucking the lifeblood out of the USA already. Why import more uneducated, poor people who would be dependent on an already over-burdened American taxpayer? Illegal aliens already take jobs from Americans while our leaders continue to ignore a 10% unemployment rate. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars each year educating, medicating and incarcerating illegal aliens who should not be here in the first place!
America must help others in time of need as much as we can but we need to focus on America first and long-term. I’m sorry there are poor people born in Haiti. I’m sorry my last name isn’t Gates. That’s the way life goes. It’s not fair or easy. A side note…it’s interesting that all the adoptions of Haitian orphans seem to be taking place by white Americans. Where are black Americans in this? I have watched the unending media coverage of Haiti and do not remember seeing more than a handful of blacks aiding in the rescue. I’m sure I’m wrong but it does seem to be very one-sided for such racist people like whites!
So AWD says no to mass Haitian immigration into the United States. I’m afraid a few more will capsize this Titanic lifeboat and take us all down!

@Mr.All the Answers
Better yet. Why don’t you swap your brain for a turd? You would come out ahead.
Hey HJ, the old saying in Miami was, “Will the last American to leave, please bring the Flag”. I got out two years ago, and I’m glad I did. You know they will end up in South Florida. Even the Keys aren’t safe anymore. That being said, I’m sure that many of them will end up in the States. It will be another Mariel all over again.
Abdul, you are a Troll. But I’m sure you are a decent guy after a few drinks.
NONONO to Haitian immigration!
America is NOT the worlds’ F’n welfare agency, nor are we the garbage dump of the world!
For years and years the progressive SOBs in our State Dept. have been sending billions of our taxes to banana republic sh!tholes and other commie/muslim hellholes,who hate us and make war against us!
The progressive/regressive bastards, who are supposed to represent us in congress, incl POTUSs, have arrogantly been allowing this outrage to continue for the most of my living memory!
These criminals do NOT represent WTP,…they arrogantly dictate to us, whether we like it or not.
Bring on the revolution!
Mr. Know-it-all:
Hey, Dufus, I have a better idea: Let’s swap nazi muslims like you for fish food and toss you and your pals into the shark tanks. We can save on fish food, provide entertainment to the nice folks at SeaWorld, AND get rid of toxic waste at the same time. Can’t wait to see your burka ripped to shreds.
Doesn’t that sound like a swell idea, Ahmed?

That is what I’m anticipating Mike,it is time to get,while the gettin’s good.

I remember those bumper stickers..hehe!

AWD,
You’re a big meanie! I say let them in. They can have a slumber party at my house! What’s the worst that can happen?
Abdul-Warith,
The reason you are so comfortable is because the US has made it so. Why do you think we took it so personally wen Saddam invaded Kuwait. Your way of life is dependent on us. If you don’t like that fact, take it up with your leaders. Or don’t you have the guts?
Back from the Saw Bones office… I’m happy to see a realistic “HELL NO!” from most of you. All the other folks need to take their baffle-bull to some racist hate blog for white man haters. The retaking of west Africa idea doesn’t look like it went over very well. My hope was to give incentive to the poor hopeless wards of nowhere the right direction to go(AWAY FROM HERE!). Any other way is wrong. It’s funny how, after the last wave of Haitian slum runners got here along with their south of the border home boys as well, this country suddenly has a budget problem. Now we have how many uninsured, sick, homeless, jobless, clueless, English? No comprende!, money less, God less slugs here? TO MANY!…Hell no to the TRILLIONTH! (that number was to get the free[not for long if they can help it] thinkin’[is it possible for them] progressive[regressive] commies[murder Inc.]attention.)…… Kobe,AKA:Butt pirate from now on… thanks for the invite, but no thanks. We know you will be cheetin’ on us with some rape action when your on the road.
@Tom
Go ahead let them sleep over at your house.
But don’t say we did tell you so, when they steel all your possessions and rape your wife. Cause if that’s what they’re doing in their own country imagine what they’ll do here.
Uh, no!
Second line.
Yet a third line, can’t believe I have it in me.
send half to massachusetts(teach them indys) the other half to texas(its frikin huge).
Wolverine, I’m going to call a big BS on sending them to Texas!
AWD
Abdul, you are in complete denial.
“We are friendly towards our blacks and treat them well.”
Really? That sounds a lot like Southern whites in the past saying “we treat our negroes well” while they were busy lynching blacks and viciously discriminating against them. Have you heard of Haifa Wehbe? Do you know that in Iraq, Iran, and other Middle Eastern nations, blacks face tremendous discrimination? Don’t even get me started on what Arabs are doing to blacks in Darfur.

This is but one article and I’m sure I could find more. Oh, I guess Saudi Arabia is so much more
“enlightened” than everyone else. Yeah, I’m sure you Arabs treat your blacks splendidly (cough). Too bad such wonderful treatment isn’t extended to your own women.
By the way, why are you here? If you despise whites so much and view the U.S. as such an irredeemably white supremacist society, why not go elsewhere? Oh, I guess you’ll blame the U.S and other Western nations for rendering Muslim nations such as Saudi Arabia impoverished (ie. the typical whining about colonialism and imperialism). I guess you must have had no choice (yeah right!) but to move. Obviously, Saudi Arabia sucks, because otherwise you wouldn’t be here. Comedian Ari Shaffir once said that if “You’re in America, wherever you’re from sucks!”
I know you’re trying to make yourself and Arabs look noble compared to us wicked whites. Sorry, but no intelligent person or critical thinker can buy that argument.
P.S. Tim Wise is nothing more than a self-aggrandizing race hustler. All he does is repackage what blacks from the 60s said and then throw in a little bit of his own polemical writing. He uses random and misleading statistics along with sweeping indictments to make a point. I don’t know if he even believes much of what he says. All I know is that he’s made a great living ($$$) bashing whites around the nation. He says provocative and outrageous things in order to receive speaking engagements, book promotions, charge ridiculous speaker fees, and make lots of money. Let’s just say that his credibility is lacking and he is inconsistent in his views.
Hey YAWM, How far in the past are you going. doing research on my people 1840 I found two things written about my gggrandfather, he was a delegate to the whig party and he was good to the negros,
Steve, do not construe my latest post as an attempt to denigrate your ancestors or all white Southerners. The point I was trying to make was that even if there were a few white Southerners who were “good to the negroes,” blacks still faced vicious discrimination and oppression at every turn. What I was trying to tell Abdul was that blacks face racism in the Middle East even if he or other Arabs are “good to the blacks.”
Rape and pillaging going on to earth quake victims~thugs hard at work.
