Mass immigration to US does not include Haiti at the top of the list. Countries like the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Eastern Europe to name a few.
In fact if US truly wanted to help, much more legal Haitians to America should have been an option.

America, early next decade will face a shortage of home health care workers for the so-called "Baby Boomers", people who were born in America between 1946 to 1964, will need personal care at home. This workforce is ill-prepared to assume the task. This job sector requires minimal training, why can't Haitians cornered that market, instead of fighting over existing ones...?

I do understand a good portion of Haitians are already working in this field.Why can't we position ourselves for this sector at the managerial level?

America, whether we like it or not, is a land made of immigrants.

Why is Haiti being singled out?

The Haitian Diaspora has to look for new emerging markets...

We need to survive and prosper like any other immigrants who "made it" before us.
Realistically speaking, not all of us can go back to Haiti.

I believe the ones who can should go back to help...

Mass exodus back to Haiti will only exacerbate animosity between the Haitian Bourgeois and the Haitian Diaspora...

I agree with you at 500%. We need to return Haitian peasants to their rural areas to farm again. Haiti's priority should be agriculture, roads, education, security and the restoration of our Fauna and Flora. That's it and the rest can come later ok > >

Rooster, you say that, "MOST of the diaspora makes their money in America. Perhaps what you should say is: "Because of America's constant interference in Haitian affairs, which have caused great harm to the Haitian people and their nation, it is o > >

I have realized the same thing and that is why I hesitated to answer him right away. I have consulted with Middy and she had briefed me on the whole story before I finally said something. Petrus should clarify himself if he is not an ignorant and a f > >

Linda, we don't really make money in America as being members of the Haitian Diaspora. However, one can argue that the Haitian Bourgeoisie and the Americans are making that money through Western Union, UPS and Fedex to name a few. Both the American > >

Rooster, it would be nice if America changed her policy toward Haiti but that's not gonna happen anytime soon. Because the United States always does what benefits the United States. They wouldn't gain anything from helping Haiti. Take the case > >

Marjorie many Haitians don't want to move back to Haiti on a permanent basis. Rather they would like to vacation there without the fear of being kidnapped, robbed, or assassinated. But if someone wants to move back it should be that person's cho > >

What about kidnapping the elites one by one and you will see that kidnapping bzness would stop. > >

Marge, i believe that the impetus for interference by America was deplorable conditions in Haiti to begin with, meaning, even if we never interfered, Haitians would be here, as are people from the world over. I wasn't trying to put anyone down at al > >
