Yup. Black people begging for the help of the whites they kicked out, oh the irony.

Path to permanent victimization:

Step 1: Kick out all European colonizers
Step 2: Fail to prosper as an independent nation
Step 3. Blame Europeans colonizers for failure to prosper as an independent nation

It’s ingenious.

50 years from now, Africa and the Middle East will still blame Europe for all its problems while it took East Asia and Western Europe no time to bounce back after being economically demolished and bombed during WW2.

From the article: In Washington, a senior Biden administration official said that F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security officials would go to Port-au-Prince “as soon as possible” to assess how to help. The official also said, “There are no plans to provide U.S. military assistance at this time.”

Here we go again!
American citizens were allegedly involved in the assassination of the head of a foreign government. It's hardly out of bounds to send our investigative agencies in to figure out if American citizens were involved, and if so, why.

TWO American citizens (of Haitian descent) were hired as translators.

I hope we avoid the usual slippery slope that leaves us bogged down in yet another mess.

History has shown that sending investigators or advisors is the way each American fiasco has begun. Between Viet Nam, and Afghanistan, America has been at war for much of my lifetime without actually winning anything.

I would like to see the U.N. handle this one, even if we pay for it.

Above all, DON'T bring any of Haiti's population here. We have too many homeless and indigent already.

Right, so like I said, two American citizens were allegedly involved in the assassination of a foreign head of government. That's kind of a serious diplomatic incident, don't you think?

What the hell do you think is going to happen here -- we're gonna get bogged down in a full-scale Vietnam quagmire or something?

The "or something" is what concerns me. I do not want to see a flood of Haitian refugees (beyond the ones who have already slithered in).

I had the dubious pleasure of teaching quite a number of Haitian teenagers over the last 40 years. All of them were surly, stupid, and violent. America needs to quit trying to fix the rest of the world!

Haiti for Haitians!

Funny, but Biden’s immigration policy or a lack of one will hammer the two strongest Red State with an uncontrollable flood of illegal aliens. Both Texas and Florida should link up to enforce the immigration laws, with the support of their National Guard and Guard units from other Red States… Creating e de facto alliance within Liberal America.

Haiti is a no-win situation, just like Afghanistan. Every time we assisted Haiti, it blew up in our face… Let the useless UN deal with this issue. Plus, French isn’t stupid enough to fall for this one either.

But, I guess I’m a racist for feeling this way… Which I don’t care cuz I’m not or stupid enough to fall for this Liberal line of guilt BS. Half my ancestors where slaves, so that BS doesn’t work, especially coming out of the mouths of rich elitist Liberals, that are White.

I can’t wait for 2022 and 2024 for sanity to return to our hemisphere!!

Btw, I hope Biden doesn’t put Headboard Harris in charge of this crisis!!

How on Earth does sending law enforcement personnel to investigate an assassination lead to a flood of immigrants?

What a disgusting comment. Most Haitians I’ve known are hardworking, law-abiding people. Their American-born children tend to do quite well.

Well I guess you've never been to South Florida...?? Haitian communities have been thriving there for decades.
