Locking up these “Baptists” isn’t going to solve the problem of Haitian immigration to Florida. It was going on long before the quake and will keep going on. Why is it okay for the Cubans to come but not the Haitians? Who are you to say who can come to America? Your parents Native Americans? We need to protect our borders, but where I live, we are overrun with Mexicans and most are just looking for a better life. Isn’t that the reason everyone comes to America? Isn’t that the reason our ancestors came to America?
Most of the ethnicities who have come as a bloc to America did so to improve their lot in life as you say. That presupposes they have some skill or ability or usefulness which they will employ to improve their lot in life and that of their descendants. Thus far, Haitians who have come here have been nothing but a burden, although I expect there are a few anecdotal exceptions. But as a group, Haitians are a useless burden on our society. Cubans are not. They’re productive, hard-working, and have the initiative, ambition and impetus to assimilate, progress and succeed in our society.
