[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 391620, member: 789"] OK, here’s my take on Haiti. It’s a ****hole country. I won’t advocate the President uttering those words because a major part of his job is diplomacy, but it’s not like he’s wrong. Here’s some specifics: A. Human trafficking- they do little to nothing to stop it. Granted they managed to obtain 3 convictions since 2014 and this is heralded as massive progress, but given the extent of the activity over there that record is abysmal. B. Child labor- fairly stout percentage of their manufacturing includes children. There’s little or no effort to stop it. They’re ranked down there with Bangladesh, Cambodia C. Environmental policies- look at DR and tell me the Haitians even give a crap. I would characterize what they did to their natural resources as raping the land. I’m sure someone will point out a nice spot, but overall they have abused their land. D. Irresponsible governance- look at what they did with the billions we gave them after the 2010 earthquake. Yeah I know Bill & Hillary looted most of the $$ but I didn’t exactly hear Haitians complaining. Bottom line they effed themselves due to their own corruption. E. Lawlessness- remember the military coup in 1991 & Operation Uphold Democracy in 1994 to restore law and order. We help them rebuild/ re-establish their government, they still destroy themselves. On a side note this is another of Jimmy Carter’s greatest accomplishments! To be fair he had help from Colin Powell another foreign policy heavyweight under the guiding hand of Bubba’s right hand man Warren Christopher. Sometimes it is what it is. One of my neighbors is Haitian. Fine fellow, hard working, etc. He came here lawfully and is a good citizen. Just because he’s a good guy & I personally like him and his family doesn’t mean his country isn’t still a ****hole. I can tell you he’s glad he still not in that ****hole like a lot of his friends.
