There's a certain logic to the Dominican Republic taking over Haiti (it might be sold as a "merger of equals" to assuage Haitian pride).

But why would the Dominican Republic want Haiti? They wouldn't, of course, absent massive financial and "nation building" aid from... guess who?

They would want it if they could profit. from owning it. Give them a UN mandate. In exchange for proving some kind of government, they would get to take their cut from foreign aid that came through. The alternative is letting us colonize it. We could make a naval base there that was better than GITMO.
