Another thing to consider is that Haiti has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the Western Hemisphere(which contributes to it's high rate of orphans).If you loook it up I believe that it is 2.2% of the adult population(Probably a good deal of it untreated).That and several other factors in a country that has poor healthcare would also need to be addressed concerning public health.The US is better off asissting them in Haiti.

thats what Ive been trying to say. We dont have the sources to help them anymore, we can barely help ourselves. Yes it is humane to help them and help them we are, just not here in America. You would be subjecting us all to unknown diseases and illness. Everytime a disaster hits were there to help them, thats a wonderful thing but then when they are up on their feet and doing great.. maybe even better than us we get crapped on. It realy would be nice if these other countries would get up and help them. I know that would be a miracle but at least I could wish for it.
It is only a matter of time before large number of Haitians attempt to leave their country on boats. What should be done when hundreds of boats leave their shores heading for America? Should we send them back home or let them stay here in America? (If we let them stay more will follow) If we send them back we will be criticized.
Yep, it's a double edged sword.
I don't think we need to loosen any laws, but we might give them legal refugee status IF and I say IF they go about it LEGALLY!!!!
If we allow them in, they DO need to learn OUR language, and gain employment, not become MORE leeches of our system.
because its the humane thing to do.
haiti is in ruins.
it cant handle the added burden of more citizens. at least not yet.
these people would just be another mouth to feed, another body to shelter. (tho we can argue that they can be another person to rebuild, i wouldnt make that assumption)
lets allow those people to stay for a while in the US and when their country is somewhat stabilized, resume deportations. all we would be doing is temp. delaying deportation
Why not? We keep hearing from your side that illegals are all hard working honest people. maybe its time to put up or shut up. Are they or are they not?
What is it the pro-illegal side says? That illegals are willing to work harder than us evil Americans. Willing to work longer hours than us lazy evil Americans. Ok lets give them the incentive to build a nation. They fix it they can keep it.
No. If we did, every time another disaster happened in another country, more and more immigrants would jump on the *hey, let's move to the US* bandwagon. I agree with sending humanitarian help, but NO IMMIGRATION.

Also TB is rampant there, it's their biggest killer.
Maybe remove one million of our illegal aliens from mexico and give their jobs to one million Haitians. If we are going to have illegals here we might as well not be racist about it and spread it around. Can someone tell me why if a few Haitians are seen on a boat floating towards the USA we send out ships and planes and coast guard cutters etc to STOP them but yet when we have thousands of mexicans sneaking in every night we do very little,,,,Seems racist to me. Do the Haitians not also want to work hard to feed their familys? They got just as much right to be here as any other race yet not.
NO. Absolutely not. Are we going to do this every time another country has to be bailed out and millions of their people want to go somewhere else? When does it end..? We already have enough problems with all the other illegals here....
Maybe we should make some trade -- more Haitians but the other illegals have to go to make room for them and free up jobs for them. One thing I notice about Haitians is that it seems a lot of them already know some English.
But really, we can't take in every impoverished person in the world, there are over 2 billion of them. When Indonesia has a tsunami, must we bring all of them to the USA and provide them a nice comfortable welfare life too?
