No argument there. May they rest in peace.
So? They left the place in such terrible shape and never took responsibility for the debacle to begin with. Hell, I blame the French for the terrible conditions in New Orleans and Lousiana in general. Why not? I really detest the Frogs. Except that to hear them talk on military freqs is really cool. When they say the term Roger, Out it sounds like RoJAH, OOOOT!
That’s why it became famous. Not for it’s humanity but for it’s callousness.
Criminals where given their freedom and placed on rickety boats. Their choices being death, possible death or chance to live somewhere else without bars.
Now hearing the U.S. government ruling class talking about up to 200,000 being sent into Florida.
“And they will never leave. Goodbye FL.”
If our history is any predictor, you are correct. And Obama is on record as a Haitian immigration advocate.

U.S. Preparing for Potential New Wave of Haitians Fleeing North

Obama is already an advocate of greater Haitian immigration, this is all the excuse they need.

“He also said there should be greater equity across the board for immigrants as well, pointing out that “it’s much harder for Haitians to immigrate, despite similar circumstances in need” as other groups that have been admitted legally.”
Last night CBS stated that there are 850,000 Haitians living in the USA now. I’m sure every one of them would like to bring in all their relatives. Every time there is a storm in that area, we take in ‘temporary’ refugees, they never leave.
Oct. 2008
“Two weeks ago, the Bush administration announced it would extend temporary protected status to an estimated 300,000 Honduran, Nicaraguan and Salvadoran nationals who have been allowed to stay for years after natural disasters struck their countries.
It was granted to Hondurans and Nicaraguans after Hurricane Mitch hit in 1998 and to Salvadorans after a series of earthquakes in 2001.
While immigrant advocates argue it’s unfair to deny Haiti the same benefit afforded those countries, opponents say the fact that the immigrants from those other places are still in the US is proof the system doesn’t work.
“If Bush had ended the TPS for the Central American countries, then we would be in favour of TPS for Haitians,” said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, which advocates reduced immigration. “The reason we don’t is that there’s no ‘T’ in TPS.”

“Before these folks are allowed out of a quarantine area, they had best have a complete health screening for things like AIDS, TB etc”
Quite the opposite.
After 22 Years, HIV Travel and Immigration Ban Lifted
“The United States of America has moved one step closer to helping combat the stigma and ignorance that still too often guides public policy debates around HIV/AIDS,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese.
1/4/2010
Washington – The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, hailed the announcement that a ban on HIV positive visitors and immigrants entering the country, first established in 1987, has been lifted. A regulation promulgated by the Obama administration last summer and finalized in November goes into effect today, removing HIV from the list of communicable diseases that bar foreign nationals from entering the United States.
That is insane.
Well it is wrong to place the citizens of this nation at risk for PC reasons. WE need to rid ourselves of this group of snakes in DC.
WHERE will they ship the Americans?
Take care of them over there. You’ll have to kill ‘em to get them to go back to that hell hole ....which was a hell hole before the earthquake, now its the same just deeper.
