“Ms. Napolitano estimated there are 100,000-200,000 Haitians in the U.S. who could benefit from Friday’s TPS declaration, which allows illegal immigrants who were in the country before Tuesday”

Obama is on record (2008) supporting Haitian immmigration.

“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.”
And NO, they won't be vetted or tested for disease.
"The country has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the region (currently estimated at 2.2% of adult Haitians). With an adult literacy rate of 52% and a primary school enrollment rate of less than 65%, education is also a key obstacle to social and economic progress in Haiti."

Resettle them in Detroit, then we will find out which is the stronger, the muzzie god or voodoo.
The obvious country to take them would be the Domincan Republic.

Hillary and her boss have been planning on Haitian ‘amnesty’ for some time.
April, 2009
Clinton made clear that the United States would retain its policy of interdicting Haitians trying to reach Florida’s sun-drenched shores but said the administration was looking at its deportation practices involving Haitians, who help support their impoverished country with remittances.
UNDER REVIEW
‘’We are reviewing the policy, and we know what a great source of income the remittances are that flow from . . . principally the United States back to Haiti,’’ she said.
An estimated 30,000 Haitians are currently in the deportation pipeline, and immigration advocates argue it would be cruel to send them back to a storm-ravaged country struggling to recover from four back-to-back storms that left nearly $1 billion in damage.
Clinton said the administration was sympathetic to ``what a tremendous burden it would be on Haiti if all of a sudden they were forced to accommodate the thousands of people who were otherwise working in our country.
``So we expect that we will be able to look closely at this and try to come up with some appropriate responses to the challenges posed.’’
Haitian advocates want the Obama administration to add Haiti to the list of nations whose citizens here receive Temporary Protected Status. That would permit undocumented Haitian migrants to stay and work in the United States temporarily.
