I'm all for helping them...............THERE. not here.
70% of them are unemployed and have been all their life...meaning they have no (or very limited)job skills...not to mention many are illiterate..and oh by the way...they speak french creole.
I'm stunned some in our govt want to bring 40K plus of them here. many of them are standing in line right now at outside of the airport, waiting for a chance to be flown here....and become a US citizen. I cannot possibly stress enough how that will burden our economy even more...and become a permanent problem. some of these people I mention that are standing in line waiting to come here...actually have roosters in their hands...waiting to board a plane.
I'd rather see us lease a cruise ship or decommishioned carrier off their shore. sure it will still cost us tons of money and drain our economy...but at least it won't burden our already maxxed out hospitals, schools, cops, courts, and prisons here.
Wow. Just wow.
Prior to my real job, I worked my way through college and was fortunate to work with many Haitians. They were the hardest working, most polite people I've ever known. Every single one of them spoke flawless english. None of them, and I mean NONE of them EVER missed a day of work. If someone was late, 4 of their friends were calling and finding him. They policed themselves, and didn't need supervision for anything. Every single one of them felt privileged to be here, and every single one of them were proud to have become naturalized citizens. Most of them worked 3 jobs at a time.
We fired one Hatian in the 6 years I was working through undergrad and Master's. That was due to a lying "Anglo-American" who was fired a week later when it was discovered he set the Haitian up, he was bragging about it.. We called that Haitian man up, and he refused his job back. Refused to work where he didn't feel respected, no matter what.
This thread is sickening and needs to die.
