If the US would stop intervening in Haiti and let them run their own country, maybe so many of them wouldn’t have to apply for asylum in the US.
Best to look at history. The US hasn’t really intervened in Haiti that often and when we did it was a failure. Many different groups have tried. Currently, it’s Kenyans
based off what i can see on Wikipedia, the US did a coup detat in haiti in 2004 and is sorta suspected to be involved in the president’s assassination in 2021
I do appreciate the young communists that show up here to blame the US first. Even if this were true, it couldn’t account for the dozen of times in the 19th - 21st centuries when there were coups in Haiti and certainly not the cause of Haiti’s traavails. But, it’s probably not true. 2004 was not the first time there was a Coup by the Haitian military against Aristide. He was also overthrown by the military in 1994. Of course he blamed the US. That’s what autocratic rulers do.
We also blew our chance to support Haiti back when they first revolted because we didn’t want our slaves to get any ideas.
As always, American Ideals are based on a lie.
Haiti was punished by the West for daring to fight against their oppressors, and we all, collectively, never stopped trying to crush them.

Now they have the failed state which the West absolutely caused, and scum in this country blame them for the situation they were put in.
I think it’s great you blame the US when it was a French colony and the only Caribbean country that had to buy their way out of slavery.
Thanks! I’m glad you agree!
Surely you’re not really this obtuse?
No more than Rapidcreek pretending “The West” doesn’t include France.
The question of why specific immigrants are here isn’t relevant to the topic of how they should be treated once they’re legally here. Some are here bc of bad US foreign policy, others aren’t, but all should be treated with respect.
