The cruise ships that do go to Haiti operate within armed high security tourist areas, essentially cordoned off from the rest of the country.

“...kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure...”

Why would anyone go there, for a vacation or anything?

We have had problems with Haiti ever since the early 1900’s.

Question: Could a permanent solution to what ails that country be found? Perhaps the next administration could gather together the rest of Latin America along with the French to do something that I would call The Final Solution. After all this time I’m getting sick of this.

My idea: Gather the 25 French-speaking countries and disperse the people-Africa getting the bad guys. We’d have to take in our share. Welfare checks for 10 years. No females of child-bearing age left behind.

Next-give it to the Dominican Republic after 49-99 years. US protectorate in the meantime. A good place for a penal colony. Import prison employees from the 3rd world-cheap. Even El Salvador will want to get in on it. They’re locking up their gang members big time.

Why does our state department even have anybody living there, other than maybe our appointed Ambassador?
Talk about getting the short straw, ambassador to Haiti.
Maybe that person is someone assigned to manage basic health care and vaccines on that island. Health care the US donates.

And so once again UN and foreign aide doesn't work....anymore than it did here

I knew an American missionary team member who went there @ 30 years ago for a nursing trip.

Or just cut it loose from the civilized world, and when disease, starvation, and self-predation take their toll, and it gets down to maybe a few hundred breeding pairs, and the ravages of deforestation subside, cordon it off from all maritime/air traffic like North Sentinal Island in the Andaman Sea, and let them live undisturbed for 50,000 years or so unencumbered by pesky civilization.

Scores of Haitians living in the Clercine neighborhood near the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince sought refuge from escalating gang violence by camping out in the courtyard of the US Embassy facility....(refugees?)

LOL !

Every french colony is a disaster.
Ever heard of algiers? Vietnam? Laos? The list goes on and on.

It seems like all out anarchy. Government, whatever pretense of one they have, has virtually no control over the country. It will require a winner-take-all civil war, or outside military intervention to fix it. Or, a generation of exodus and death leaving little left to fight over. I doubt the Colombians would even try to ship their drugs through that route anymore. They have a cooperative governments in Mexico City and Washington DC these days.

“ Do not travel to Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure,”

Sounds exactly like the southern U.S. border region.
