Why don’t they go to the Dominican Republic? It’s next door to Haiti and they share a land border.

The Haitian Empire invaded and tried to conquer the DR a few times and since then, there's a bit of bad blood between the countries.

The White House National Security Council is asking the Department of Homeland Security what number of Haitian migrants would require the U.S. to designate a third country, known as a “lily pad,” to hold and process Haitian migrants who are intercepted at sea and what number would overwhelm a lily pad country and require Haitians to be taken to Guantánamo, according to the document

Honestly, verify their refugee status and then send them all to Florida where there's a local creole-speaking population, and send DeSantis a "Play stupid games win stupid prizes" letter.

Wholeheartedly agree, they probably already have family down here (like me 🙋🏾‍♀️) or if they don’t, they’ll form a new one with the HUGE community down in South Florida.

That's probably true! Also, Haitians are awesome. More Haitians means a ton of new businesses and economic growth and there's already a super vibrant community that can welcome them and help them get settled. And it'd make DeSantis angry.

(Also, y'all's food is awesome. Pumpkin soup is as amazing as it is symbolic.)

Fuck that guy for playing games with (in the cases involved) legal immigrants. Man should be in jail for defrauding them and engaging in human trafficking as a political stunt.

There's a limited capacity for that. If too many are coming at the same time, they can't be integrated and you are just creating a Haiti 2.0 .

You can fuck right off. The massive influx of immigration in Florida is beyond controllable and it is because of fucktards like you that actually run the country that it has even become an issue in the first place. Send them aid, make sure said aid doesn't fall into political corruption hands and help them rebuild. Why is it so hard for people to understand this. Ffs.

What specifically is being affected in Fl? Seems like cracking down on migrants have made things more expensive with less people wanting to do menial labor. I grew up and lived in FL all my life and Haitians and other migrants made FL work.

You don't think he would just send them somewhere else?

Migrants are not a punishment!

It would be better to send them to a state that cares about migrants and can help them make a life for themselves, not leave them to poverty.

Too bad migrants like everything else in the US are just another political chess piece

Is Haiti even a habitable land mass after all the hurricanes and the earthquake?

No, it's not. Why do you think everyone is trying to leave?

Its sad how every country avoids haitian migrants more than anyone else. Racism is illiegal but somehow this is viewed differently.
