You are an intriguing enigma. You care so much about the suffering of the Haitians, and yet in comments on another blog you push for more people to be deported to Haiti to join the suffering? How can you simultaneously want to stop the suffering and want there to be more suffering? I want to understand you.
Dear Anonymous, I don't recall the exact time I was pushing to deport a Haitian, however if I said that it must have been because that person Haitian, Hungarian or Egyptian it does not matter where they are from… must have been here illegally, have done something that was illegal or behaved in another manner that was immoral. I am not one to judge, but I must have read something that said to me... that person does not deserve to be here. I wish for nothing more than all of my Haitian neighbors to be allowed to travel freely to and from the United States. If I was specifically commenting on a Haitian, I must have been feeling angry because I very much hate how our government has cut off the Haitians from visiting the U.S. And the Haitian in question must have been the kind of person who perpetuates the distaste for Haiti in the mouths of those who control our borders.
As I said, it does not matter where a person is from, if they are here doing good for themselves and others around them, abiding by the laws of our country they should be welcome. I would have written the same comments about our neighbors from the south, Mexico. I also know many good Mexican families who should be able to come here but because of the people, who choose to come here illegally, take advantage of the system, don’t stay out of trouble and don’t do their part all citizens of Mexico must suffer. I don’t give a pass to a Haitian, just because they are Haitian if they are not law abiding any more than I would give a pass to an American if they are not law abiding. Vicki
