It is probably better to spend money rescuing Haiti than to bring them
here longterm or permanent residents.
The problem I see is finding Haitians to develop the Haitian economy.
They have a lot of resources but they have not moved beyond a third
world economy.
I believe it is because there are too many Haitians for their easily
utilized resource.
They have not had any effective leadership.
It seems from any report over the decades that small gangs etc run the
country.
I don't see how we can show these folks how to take care, of themselves.
It is going to take outside Leadership and economic enterprise.
It's a lot closer to Haiti than to China.
