I thought, surely it can't be that bad. President Trump must have overstated it by calling it a sh**hole. I mean, after all we are still talking about a Caribbean island - turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, palm trees, maybe a few resorts. So I did a Google Image search of what I expected to be slightly less than an island paradise. Enjoy..

And Haiti can’t blame it on Colonialism, they’ve been independent since 1795.
It's almost as if it has a curse on it.
Of course we should take in some refugees from s hole countries. As well as people thrown out of s hole countries like my family who were stripped of their S hole country (Nazi Germany) citizenship.
I cringe that the President said it this way, because refugees are desperate and helping them is essential to the success of our great land. However, most of Trump’s immigration policy choices are much better than this comment. Lottery immigration is not the same as helping a finite number of desperate people achieve life and liberty and escape their s hole countries.
Quebec Province accepts many Haitian immigrants and on balance they integrate and become very productive citizens...Haiti (GDP per capita $722.00) shares the island of Hispaniola with The Dominican republic (GDP per capita ($6900.00)
Lol.
Haiti was once ruled by Europeans, who built anything of value that still exists. The slaves rose up and killed all the whites. The next highest IQ group, the mulattoes, then assumed leadership, and they were killed in turn. Now the Haitians are governed by their own kind. They are not oppressed because they are ruled by corrupt tyrants, their leaders are corrupt tyrants because they are Haitians.
Poorest in the Western Hemisphere.
There are around 20 countries in Africa which are as poor or poorer still:

They should write and tape a Survivor: Shithole
LOL!
They didn’t kill all the white people. I wouldn’t be here if they had.
You were around during the slave revolt? I’m impressed.
Isn’t it fascinating that two Nations can exist on one Island only separated by a Mountain Range yet they are like two sides of the same Coin.
Democrats Rangle and Menendez chose to go to the Dominican Republic instead of Haiti, I wonder why? Both Countries have the same Climate. Hmmmmmm...
No but my great great French Huguenot grandparents were. They escaped to Charleston SC.
Fair enough, I will stand corrected on semantics. The Whites were ETHNICALLY CLEANSED.
Thanks for that correction.
The exact same people as the Dominican Republic.
The Haitian slaves revolted and set up their own society and government based on the native African model.
Despite a long and difficult history, the Dominican Republic was based on US and European influences, not tribal warfare and animism.
Trump calls ‘em like sees ‘em. The best thing about Trump is that he’s reality-based. The truth shall set us free.
Yup
Haiti, land of butchers, pedophiles, Satanist, AIDS, and poverty
Maybe once the Haitians realize they just can’t up and leave their shithole, they finally might get motivated to actually do something so it won’t be such a shithole anymore.
