All the more reason to allow 5 or 6 million to immigrate to the US. Otherwise, this nation will extremely poor forever.

Haiti was f*cked by the French first. When they became independent, the French made them pay a tremendous amount to buy it.

In 1825, France, with warships at the ready, demanded Haiti compensate France for its loss of slaves and its slave colony. In exchange for French recognition of Haiti as a sovereign republic, France demanded payment of 150 million francs.

Then, they were screwed by Papa Doc and Baby Doc. Most recently by a massive earthquake. Haiti is truly a sorry place to have been born.
