Deported by the US, Haitians are living in peril | Fault Lines Documentary

- Over the past year, the United States government has sent more than 25,000 asylum seekers back to Haiti while the country is in the throes of chaos. A full-scale war is under way in the capital, Port-Au-Prince, between rival gangs that are fighting for territory and influence.
Homicides and kidnappings have soared since Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise was killed in 2021.
The Biden administration has used a controversial tool known as Title 42 to deport the majority of the Haitian asylum seekers, essentially using the COVID-19 health crisis as a pretext to avoid hearing asylum claims.
The programme was first implemented by the Trump administration and international human rights groups have widely criticised the practice as discriminatory against Black asylum seekers.
On this episode of Fault Lines, we travel to Haiti during this tumultuous time to see how deportees are coping with this crisis.

Can al Jazeera make a documentary on the slavery culture in Qatar , they treat domestic workers like slave and violence is very common
@Marek Cracovia because Haiti is in shambles... Haiti is failed state destroyed by its leaders .
Why should I follow you? You obviously think America is the worst country on earth; all your documentaries imply it! We deport CRIMINAL illegal aliens?? Oh, the horror!! We're so inhumane and unjust!! Funny that in spite of all your "horror stories" about our "inhumane immigration system," millions of people are still trying to get here. 5.5 million since Biden took office, 2020-2022. Over 1000 deaths. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT. *Seems like your narrative doesn't fit the facts.* And, as you can see, some of us aren't stupid.
Amazing how they let all the people from latins countries in, but the Haitians doesn’t get a pass. This DHS guy is a joke. Be careful who you vote for.
@@lorettadavis6944 Well, there you go! You just admitted this Administration is hypocritical! Thank you for saying what we conservatives always knew. But they didn't listen to us and kept voting for them. And NOW they want us to advocate for them??? LOL! TOO LATE.
They need to deport criminals. If you are legally in America and you commit crimes then you should lose that privilege of being an American. If he loved his wife and family he wouldn't be in the streets robbing people.
The biggest robbers and murders wear fancy suits and have light skin complexions. Petty street crime pales in comparison to Nuking Japan, Enslaving and torturing Africans for fun, Tuskegee experiments, etc.
What if you an American and commit a crime, should you be deported. Better yet lets deport all the white people as they are in possession of stolen land via their ancestor's and if you are in possession of stole goods you get deported
I AGREE, EVEN IF MY OWN PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL, THE US HAS THE RIGHT TO DEPORT,
I don't see how DR who has provided the most help for haitians is always blamed for the haitians own doings, the DR is just trying to protect its people from Colera etc. And don't forget the gangs and criminals that smuggle in, the DR is only doing what any country that cares for its own population would do, and although they continue to help haitians most haitians never talk about the good things the DR continues to do for them, so ungrateful all the time, no matter how much help DR has and continues to provide, from free education, medical attention and jobs. All while haitians torture, rape and mutilate DR citizens, all you got to do to confirm is research the documented cases, it would be nice if for once instead of throwing dirt on the pople willing to help, you would at least be grateful, because with most haitian is danmed if you and danmed if you don't, never see the good in others, I know the situation is critical, but don't blame the only nation which has always been there to support somehow one way or another, and do understand that every country has the right to filter the migrants which come in to their country, specially if there is real threat and turmoil in the country that borders yours, that way you keep everyone, your own citizens, as well as the migrants safe, otherwise , both countries would wind up in the same sitiation which haiti is currently in.
Think about it, The boats transporting slaves in great part were French, France is greatly responsible for the poverty in Haiti, just like US and Canadian NGOs and lets not forget the Haitian elites themselves, who allow this suffering upon their people, I pray for peaceful restauration of Haitians without them having to flee and invade other territories, I hope they find the courage to fight to regain the stability of Haiti, may God bless you all!
There is nothing about these people that is American.
@@margaretnorvell9555 I wouldn't want to be claimed as American...these pilgrims treat people horrible and the crazy thing is they did it centuries ago
Committing a brutal home invasion in the US and then has the nerve to complain about prison conditions in his own country 🤷🏻♀️ the nerve!
He committed a crime and paid 10 years for it. Do you think is fair for him to continue to be held?
True True Be is where he needs to be
I’m so lost like he’s a felon complaining about being sent back home lol 😂
Bro you cant say that , him being a thief is a product of American society he was only born in Haiti came to America at the age of 4, so you can say he was a thief at 4 years old before coming to America
This is the comment I was looking for 😂
Why is the US liable for all these people? I don’t see Patrick as the victim here. He pushed his way in illegally, broke the law and is now enduring his punishment.
Why didn’t you interview the family who’s home was invaded by Mr. Patrick and ask them how they felt? If they still sleep with one eye open? Ridiculous
😢seeing stuff like that just makes me grateful for the humble life I have..life ain’t easy for lot of people
Stop blaming others for their mistakes. The Haitian people are doing it to their own people. Kidnapping, killing, just to name a few. I hate when they're blaming other countries for their stupidity.
Hear Hear!
No from its very existence France and the US has been undermining this nation for freeing itself. Do you see the US turning the Latinos away at the border like this?
of course! because the average struggling haitian makes less than 5,000 usd annually definitely has the resources and finances to make imperical decisions in a country that is ran and controlled by international interest and influence with clearly no intent into developing the economy there. You have little to no awareness of what is happening in haiti.
No its the WEF agenda that forced Haiti to end its oil usage.
@@BreakingTheChains1804_ So why u don't marry one and adopt they kids sucker
He got deported because of his criminal activities in states. Why do ppl cry out after they do crime. Smh hope this changes his life.
Sinners will always beg God to forgive them one last time when God desides he wont forgive anymore.
he did a 10 year sentence . he did his time. hes suppose be free . f you talking about
Australia had a policy for years of deporting foreign citizens who committed crimes. We managed to offload a lot of Bikies back home that way.
Given the widespread advertising of how hard immigration is the USA, Patrick should have known better and gotten his citizenship sorted YEARS ago.
@@F.U.B.A.H.O.R you obviously dont know God
@@BibleSamurai But you do. You believe there's an infinite amount of forgiveness as long as you're still alive.
Close the borderline permanently against asylum seekers. Only carefully scanned and reviewed applications should get approval. The USA already has enough problems taking care of society.
“No Country for Haitians”.
Ummmm….. How about Haiti?
I'm lkind of at a loss. One Haitian said that they don't want to return to Haiti until things get better there. Well, who can make things better, other than the Haitians themselves? If so many Haitians keep trying to leave, how are things ever going to get better there?
False dichotomy dude. America has been supporting despot after despot, providing money and arms in Haiti to control the country via proxy, since post world war 2. 90% of the worlds wars would end if America and Europe would stop meddling in foreign lands for the sake of stealing their natural resources and occupation using military bases.
Meanwhile, in America, Americans believe everything they're told. There's something that's happening all over the world that you my American friend may not seem to be aware of, the lies its been built on cannot stand forever.
Well the reason behind that is GANGS PEOPLE WANT TO STAY BUT GANGS LITERALLY COME AND TAKE OVER NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES
These are the worst of Haitians saying that. But I know that America loves this to happen to Haiti
@@kumarj4693 well why won't Haitians tell BBQ to stop causing chaos in Haiti?
His Wife Works In The Healthcare🏥 Industry. He Chose Not To Get A Secondary Education🧑🏿🎓 To Obtain A Better Job, But To Commit A Robbery, & Is Complaining About Being Deported❓️
I like the way the media cover this issue, based on their opinion, countries should just delete their laws, bring down their borders and accept every immigrant that wants to go in, but when asked, whats the solution to the homelessness and sanitary issues in California, where Americans are currently struggling their only solution is to raise the taxes. If a Country cant deal successfully with the problems of their own population how can that country be expected to take care of a few hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming through daily? Ideas anyone?
Great question. Now take a look at what the US is demanding of the Dominican Republic. I am informed that Biden is asking DR not to deport Haitians back to their bad conditions in Haiti but yet he deports thousands. DR has the most Haitians living in its territory and cannot take care of their own and there are more valid reasons to sustain it cannot with that situation Can someone explain why the US feels they can demand on other soils and yet doing exactly the opposite?? Double standard? Arrogance? Any other?!
Solution is France should pay reparations. USA should stop supporting policies that help to destroy Haiti (Bill Clinton did this AND already admitted it), stop supporting elites and neoliberal policies that brings immigrants here. Stop selling guns to Haiti. Until then this USA land belongs to the world.
The USA has no answer, but did request the DR to take on Haitians.
As an African each country sould fix their own problems.
what was the law? asylum?
This is a general question, not just meant for Haitians. If the US didn't give people benefits, would we be dealing with so many people trying to come here? Other countries are closer &/or easier to get to. We just simply can't afford all these people coming in. Plus it isn't fair to the people who have done everything the legal way & are waiting for their turn.
Ukraine just come into the country no horses kicking at them nothing but blankets tears of joy and all the food and housing they wants while inflation is hitting unlimited pockets .

@@Andre-wf8cb Sorry but, what? I don't follow.
They have a country. There is a reason they are called Haitians. They belong to the country of Haiti.
Douche did you see the conditions there? Ukrainians have a country as well.
The UN needs to step in and impose some rules on how Haiti should be governed.
Agreed. I feel for them but they need to step up and get their country together.
@@cfwin1776 Who is going to enforce that? I bet it would fall on the U.S then the U.S will again be blamed when it fails.
@@cfwin1776 The UN Is a joke! They refuse to even pay their parking tickets, citing "diplomatic immunity." WHAT CHEAPOS!!
Oh OK, what else did they declare they're immune of? Rape? YES. Murder? YES. Must be nice to be in charge of making the rules, eh? ICYMI, a majority of Americans polled want the UN out of the USA, because of precisely this AND ALL THE ANTI-AMERICA RESOLUTIONS THEY HAVE PASSED. Oh, the USA is the #1 violator of human rights?? SERIOUSLY??
I cannot blame them for fleeing Haiti. I also cannot blame America for enforcing their immigration laws. No one is morally right 100% in this situation and suffering continues
I see this as Frances fault they brought them their and when they were beaten they forced the country to pay them.
This woman don't get it, we can't just keep meeting people come in by the thousands.
Black immigrants! You can't accept black immigrants, but lighter ones, there's no problems.
You mean black people? Everyone else come here and do not get sent back asap.
Sure letting south Americans in by the thousands and I don't agree with that
she doesn't get it because it knocks her street creds! xD TRUMP 2024
Gotta give that State Department representative credit for her completely unbroken string of non-answers. Professional boxers don't bob and weave as well as that lady. What an insulting waste of the reporter's time. But I'm glad they included it in the video. One of my journalism professors used to say "If you're trying to do a story but no one will answer your questions, that IS the story."
It’s amazing how entitled Haitians are , angry at America but not angry at their fellow Haitians who are destroying their country .
People are not able to understand reality. Ukraine was attacked and people displaced suddenly. But Haitians and Africans destroy their own countries. My question is, can America take everybody in?
Exactly
Exactly. Funny how all these sun people want to make their way to our countries. Then complain and call us racist. I’m heartily sick of it.
Wow. I agree
You don't know the half of it. They blame all of their problems on France, the US and even the Dominicans. The fact their country is poverty stricken hovel isn't their own fault but everyone else's fault. Every time the US intervenes in any manner, regardless of the huge amounts of humanitarian aid spent on their behalf, they subsequently use this intervention as the reason their country is so messed up.
We black people dont like each other thats why our countries are messed up... so lets stop blaming others for owes and start taking responsibility..
What you just said that is very sad.😭
The problem is the good Haitian men are allowing the gang take over and corruption by fleeing and not fighting back. The men should stop being cowards.
I agree
Yeah but it is due to a long history of brainwashing colonization that instilled deep self-hate in our ancestors. We have a common enemy that seems to always get off the hook if you are in tune with what I am saying....
Why did that woman from the State Department bother to sit down to an interview if she did not plan on answering any questions?
Patrick should not have done home robbery, he took himself out.
I'm confident the Haitian people are capable of straighten themselves out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately 60 years from now Haiti will still be the same disaster! I hope I'm wrong!😢
An officer on a horseback is nothing compared to other horrors people experience. If the USA law enforcement are so evil, why are they so desperate to get in. The named vice president as an allie when reporting is a huge mistake. No one could be less informed and she could care less. Biden's administration is a humanitarian crisis. It has placed several nations of people at risk. There are also many other countries to which people could flee. When the dependents outweigh the ability to care for, no one is helped. We have very capable laws to govern immigration if not compromised by traitorist government officials.
Imagine a room being broken into and illegally invaded by a trespasser. Imagine the nightmares they have as someone invaded their privacy and violated their safety. Just because the homeowners were Americans, does not make it ok or legal.
The border patrol agent was my wrong. I can only imagine his frustration having to deal with people openly breaking our laws in front of him every day.
Shame on the Haiti government and those who cannot provide safety, social security and economic stability to their own people.
Those are things for already functioning society, in Haiti, Everything has collapsed, there is No one to take on a task like that.
@@jennaeveliina313It looks like it's completely abandoned even by the international community. I wish the scumbag [gangsters/Gov] of Haiti stop harming their new generations. "There is always will for improvement"; when we put God first.
So if your country is falling apart, you demand to go to another country and be treated like royalty. America have their own problems and lots of unemployment. Take care of your own FIRST!
Those prisoners should have thought about the consequences when they decided to commit crimes. Now they have been deported and are crying out for help. They need to think about the people who they have violated to get them in that situation.
Exactly.
I Agree Also..However The Guy Whom Lived In The USA Since 4 Years Old And Committed The Terrible Crime Against A Family Here As An Adult. He Was Convicted Here And Did His Time Of 10 Years As Our Laws Permitted/ Restitution, So Why Was He Deported To Haiti? Plus He Has A Wife Here..Idk. Love And Peace.
Very easy to say
@@SergyMilitaryRankings not easy to say. Its facts. Every have a choice and people chose to take a different part for one reason or the other. When they were doing their crime, they never thought they would end up in this situation. Its all about taking responsibility
@@bandit4truelove126 that's just not true, the vast majority of criminality is largely a socioeconomic issue with complex psychological and sociological factors, it's not bad people choosing to do bad things.
This is why when people say oh it's just people making bad choices, it's rooted in ignorance.
We have so many homeless people here in the US. We don’t take care of them and we can’t take care of every person who wants to come here.
Come on , the government helps and give checks to homeless people, but too many got addictions & mental problems and they prefer to live in the streets & keep using drugs and not pay expensive rents too.
@@antoniobanderas9769 no they don't. You can't get any funds without an address. They can't use shelters as an address.
I feel bad for these people.
But why did they pass up seeking asylum in countries like Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, etc?
Because those other countries won't put up with $hit.
maybe because of routes already setup, maybe because America chose to meddle so much everywhere that they feel America is responsible. Who knows. All I know is these people are being graped and killed, so any escape is an escape. All America has to do is stop grand standing and pretending to care. Most evil starts there
@@stellab3828 lol. You got Mexico being run by the cartel. Dig deeper in your comment.
Counties have their own problems to fix. The U.S. is just overly friendly with situations just slightly less worse than the situation immigrants are running from.

I'm American Haitians have a right to Emblem of America1798 the real Americans they look more like the real people of America than most people in America
Free benefits
They created their situation. The Dominican Republic shares the island has the same resources, and is a stable country with the most robust economy in the Caribbean and Central America; in the same way, Haitians could solve Haiti's problems.
That's is true why they are so violent against each other they are the ones to solve their problems weed out the bad weed it comes a time when good must prevail
This started when they freed themselves and were punished by France and the WORLD!!
The biggest issue here is that the US/Canada and every other stable nation doesn’t want Haitians in their country but expect and try to manipulate the Dominican Republic to accept Illegal Haitians .
@@GitanarosaHow about not committing some of the worst warcrimes imaginable, and genocide against a world super power? Haitians are lucky all the French wanted was compensation. I wouldn't blame the French if they decided to level every single coastal city in Haiti and starved all their citizens to death. Don't act like the new government of Haiti was somehow innocent, because these people would give Hitler a run for his money. Till this day they are the same exact way as 100s of years ago.
Lol...vibrant economy for whom?
There is a country for Haitians, it happens to be called Haiti too.
What a coincidence!
Patrick should have never did those home invasions, the one he got caught for and the ones he did not get caught for. There are consequences for actions people do not believe that until it slaps them in their face.

Right now need to figure out how to get rid of all these corrupt politicians seeking to pocket and making bad decisions for its people.
This country is not the only one, others are being attacked just because they can’t take in people coming in without identifications, documents. It is like opening your house doors to strangers. Doesn’t work. Every country has its laws and constitution and should be respected and if not then, should be returned. Things are getting out of hand in the world.
Agreed
We have Americans migrating for basic human rights that they can’t get in the US. You nailed it HJ

Blah, blah, blah, I'm so tired of hearing about the immigrant "my daddy came over here legally and made a decent life for us." story.

This is a very complicated issue , but neither political party has been able to come up with a plan to ease this issue for decades now !
I see many videos complaining about why Haitians are being deported and accusing countries of racism, but that is not the solution for Haiti. Haitians must focus on the root of the problem and try to solve it.
It can't be solved right now. You can't imagine how bad it is. Better suicide
Agree
I agree. Brainwashing Haitians to think that all their problems are rooted on racism is purposely dragging their progress into a hole deeper and deeper.
They'll die before that happens. Not that people care.
Watch the videos, folks die just sitting at home, thinking of how things get better. If you dare plan escape and actually succeed after barely scrapping by with their lives to another country, people like you in the comfort of your secure living room have the audacity to tell them go back to that place where any day could be your last, and wait for some miracle call to action to save them. Their deaths may accidentally come about by the very people, gangs with hopes of a better future for Haiti.
These people are willing to trade their lives for the security of their futures and their childrens' future. Put them to work in a state and their hard work and tax dollars go to YOUR benefit and yet you selfishly opt to sentence them to slow eventual death on their small island.
If any group of people travels by boat like that in such a desperate state, they deserve a place on this land to start over. Land of the free and home of the brave my **
Agree. It hurts to see this as they are neighbors of my country. But our country cannot take on another country and the government of Haiti doesn’t cooperate.
Hope the home invasion the guy did was worth it.
Indeed
Yes it was worthy, we got rid of a criminal
He didn't get a harsh enough punishment in my opinion.
He had the nerve to complain about the prison conditions. He should of been grateful and privileged the US took him in and he wants to commit crimes ? 😂
Haiti is a paradise for black people. There is no police or education or other forms of oppression and millions of dollars in foreign aid. People of color have built a wonderful vibrant society for themselves and their childrens, why would they leave?
Haiti is a country for Haitians.
Don't commit home invasion... you had 1 opportunity and you messed up big time. I am all for people coming here to better themselves. However anyone involved in criminal activities.. I have no sympathy for them. Deport them right away...
Exactly..now the ppl in this documentary acting like he some type of victim.Yes,they put him in jail to extort money from his family but he absolutely deserved to be deported.
This isn't our problem and they have to stop this. 21st Nov 2022 and they never stop since 50 years ago. The Bahamians are tired of this mess
Remember when one of them threaten to give Bahamians Colombian neckties cos the govenment torn down their shanty town that was built on land that wasn't theirs? I feel for them but something needs to be done about their way of life, and that is something only they can fix. All the money in the world can the thrown at them and it wont mean jack if that attitude doesnt change.
@jillianbartlett410 it looks like Haiti is on the verge of becoming another Somalia or Liberia where warlords gang leaders will basically be running that country.
I believe in helping for our foreigners but we need to take care of our people here that are homeless and children and then we can help others
Please China, Iran, or Russia (CIR), you are the best countries in the world. Please take these Haitian refugees. Please show your beautiful hearts, CIR, and take them into your beautiful arms.
The Haitians better bet would probably be Russia than the others.
They will be exploited in those countries
Why do the USA want to unite Haiti with the DR so bad. DR is a poor country as well. It is better to take all Haitians to the US and Canada to be helped the right way.
This is a very serious situation for the Haitian people, my prayers for them. The people from Haiti who have immigrated to other countries should request to sponsor the asylum seekers, like the Ukranian sponsors did.
They do and many of them respond like USA , Mexico and Dominican Republic…. 😑🙄

If you don't know whats truly going on then here is some history as to why the USA will allow Middle Eastern and East European even "some" people coming from Latin America into the USA but not Haitians and the question is why?. It has to do with France enslaving their ancestors on that island. The Hattians fought back and freed themselves in what is called the largest slave revolt in the Americas and killed the French and anyone working with the French going on to fight off the Portuguese and the Spanish and colonial US. For them daring to free themselves the Hattians were ordered under threat of massive invasion to pay back France billions in lost revenue. To date Hattie is poor and targeted by the western world to keep them in perpetual punishment. They are being sabotaged by the western world.

@@ambushpredator7629 Yes, I am aware of Haiti's history. And to make matter worse, gangs are currently terrorizing many citizens there. There seems to be no Rule Of Law, and law-enforcement is lacking. The only hope seems to be to abandon the ship, and leave.
I'm so sorry that the people in Haiti are going through so much hardship. But, the world is suffering right now and going through hardship. Everybody can't come to the United States for Asylum. We are having a housing problem right now for the people that live here. How can we help other people when we can't even help ourselves?
America is causing these most of problems.
So we can send Ukraine billions and billions of dollars and military equipment to but we can't help no one else ok smh 🤔 false narratives check and research ur history
If America/UK/Canada is causing all these problems why then do we continue allowing them. Especially when you know the culprit…..why?!!!🤷🏾♀️
Same situation in Africa, we’re constantly pointing fingers and never finding or creating a solution.

Excellent documentary for not blaming Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and showing how Haitian immigrants are treated by the United States policy.
THE US has been playing double morality, accusing others of mistreatments and of deportations when during the Obama and Biden, they have deported the most undocumented individuals in the hx of the US, recently lots of Haitians
Yet it is true that most people seeking will resist deportation and unfortunately maltreatment may happen as much as it may be avoided
Nobody wants to be forced to return after a long journey.
Immigrating irregularity to another country, ideally should not be encouraged or recommended.
Now nations laws need to be respected and follow regardless but don’t play double standards as it is sickening.
Hoping for a soon comprehensive immigration policies.
Haitians are cursed.

I do NOT feel one bit sorry for Patrick. He left Haiti aged 4 and lived in the USA. It is his own fault that he served a decade for 1st degree armed robbery. Other Caribbean Nations imprison deported prisoners for the shame they have brought, they also do not want them back in society.
He served his time... He was being held for ransom. People make mistakes and he has paid his dues to society. As my mother would say there go me but by the grace of God.
The criminal deportees should have thought twice before committing crimes.
There’s a reason Dominican Republic doesn’t open the arms for Haiti. You get too many rotten apples in the bunch
This is horrible for the poor Haitians.
This is what happens when your government throws money at problems. For 50 yrs foreign governments France, US, GB and Canada have been taking money from poor people in their countries and giving it to rich people in poor countries 😢

Please tell us about Patrick's victims in the united states that he terrorized with his home invasions crimes
Yes. Patrick is a criminal. Tell us about his victims.
The Native Americans can tell you allot about home invasions and crime commit against they people , funny thing is Patrick wasn't there but your ancestors where at the crime scene.

Thanks to Femi and the team for covering this aspect of Haitian's struggle for freedom.
Define Freedom
just because someone is afraid of losing their life in their home country due to their actions does not constitute the right for asylum in another country.

They live like animals
For freedom?
What freedom, what’s happening in Haiti?
THANKS for covering this oh so important topic Femi
I'm a black man who just wonders what's this thing between black race and dependency 🤔🤔🤔,were we cursed or what's the problem 😳😳😳😳
Because we are the real Jews
@@Izanagi057 😂🤣😂🤣👍🏽
@@divinefem6582 okay then start keeping the laws then 😂
We were colonized, beaten, murdered, psychologically abused, spiritually attacked (pushed bs Christianity on us), families were torn apart. We were ridiculed, got self-hate ingrained in us, our civilizations were stripped for their resources and stolen from us, our ancient practices ceased to exist cause of the white man and we forgot who we were, it is really sad. But I do believe it is a spiritual lesson because we are the real Jews and was promised the promise land. We are the true children of God. God wants us to go through all of this so that we can spiritually evolve and connect back to source.
(not trying to justify America's actions) for some reason the country that owns Al Jazeera hasn't accepted a single Haitian refugee, and I wonder why
Why people from all over the world, looking for asylum in USA and Canada and European countries, but not China or Russia?
You got it?
And you know what?
This guy now know the value of living in USA and will not do robbery again
Should it be happen for all these criminals to know the value of where they live?
Imagine if every Haitians who came to the US got asylum tho. Then everyone single soul in Haiti would be in a boat on their way to the US. Followed by other counties, then talibans.
I feel bad for Haiti’s condition, but I don’t think issuing asylum to their entire population is the solution. Giving them the resources to build their country & economy is the right thing to do.
Do you feel sympathy or empathy.
Oh please. I was in Haiti in 1994 with US Army. Haiti was a bad place then, it's a bad place now, and it will continue to be a bad place until Haitians change their ways. We tried to help you on that path, and have a bad return on our investment. Nobody respects a country that never seems to get their act together. And no, you have no right to overwhelm our Border Agents and make their job even harder than it already is.
You’re a fool. Change their ways? You have a gross misunderstanding about capitalism, corporatism, and why Haiti is a failed state. The US. Along with many countries are to blame for the current state of Haiti and the history books prove that.
The army never help doing no situation, they get situation worse
It’s funny how a lot of people talking bad about Haiti, when it’s the US who invaded Haiti, crippled it’s economy and even prevented other countries from doin business with Haiti. How you gonna say you wanna stabilize Haiti when it’s you whose doing all the destabilization.
And it's the US that brings the colera
Bravo!!! You nailed it! It's a cultural thing! Voodoo magic and all!
Before Anyone judges please read the history of Haiti and learn what was done to Haiti by the world, including the US. I am. Black American. My family has been in the US for 300 years plus. However, I still know the history of Haiti.
THANK YOU!!!
Still not an excuse for attempting to illegally enter the US without going through the proper legal process!! 2 wrongs don't make a right.
Why can’t the government just be honest and tell them the truth they are unwelcome and unwanted in this country .
I wonder if they know that. I mean, it seems like it's obvious but maybe they're too busy with not dying to know usa's stance on this
@@mae8646they do know that they don’t care it’s the benefits and better life is what they want including crime
I don't agree much with the US in alot of things but it is a danger element to what's going on in Haiti they could bring that terrorism to the States.
Most people would be sympathetic toward the Dominicans for their troubles at the border.
The dominican republic didn't ocupy Haiti for 20 years and intentionally loot it to the ground
I don't see how DR who has provided the most help for haitians is always blamed for the haitians own doings, the DR is just trying to protect its people from Colera etc. And don't forget the gangs and criminals that smuggle in, the DR is only doing what any country that cares for its own population would do, and although they continue to help haitians most haitians never talk about the good things the DR continues to do for them, so ungrateful all the time, no matter how much help DR has and continues to provide, from free education, medical attention and jobs. All while haitians torture, rape and mutilate DR citizens, all you got to do to confirm is research the documented cases, it would be nice if for once instead of throwing dirt on the pople willing to help, you would at least be grateful, because with most haitian is danmed if you and danmed if you don't, never see the good in others, I know the situation is critical, but don't blame the only nation which has always been there to support somehow one way or another, and do understand that every country has the right to filter the migrants which come in to their country, specially if there is real threat and turmoil in the country that borders yours, that way you keep everyone, your own citizens, as well as the migrants safe, otherwise , both countries would wind up in the same sitiation which haiti is currently in.
Think about it, The boats transporting slaves in great part were French, France is greatly responsible for the poverty in Haiti, just like US and Canadian NGOs and lets not forget the Haitian elites themselves, who allow this suffering upon their people, I pray for peaceful restauration of Haitians without them having to flee and invade other territories, I hope they find the courage to fight to regain the stability of Haiti, may God bless you all!
cause Dominicans are way nicer and better than Haitians
Because they build and maintain a fully functional country.

Not our problem; fix us 🇺🇲 first.
Where is the UN?? Isn't Haiti a member? They should be asked about this on camera. I'm also curious to see how other countries throughout South America and Caribbean are receiving these refugees from Haiti?
I guess you dont know how this works. Once they make it into other countries, most dont end up living productive, legal lives. Ppl need to stop romanticizing about how things "should be". Its not as simple as taking ppl in and everyone lives happily ever after. They need to stop accusing Biden of racism. Its not bc theyre black, its bc most cant offer anything to US society, BUT, they happen to be black. Its not the same, and even if it were, EVERY country has rules about non nTiinals entering. Its THEIR right. Are you ok with a stranger showing up in your backyard and staying as long as they like, taking whats yours and offering nothing in return?
I know that Mexico has taken in Haitian migrants and the Mexicans in general have a good opinion of them.
AMERICA needs to STOP using HAITI as a GENETIC WATERING HOLE where the BREED the FINEST BLACKS especially MALES and then IMPOVERISH HAITI soo bad in order to PRECIPITATE BLACK MIGRATION knowing the POVERTY in the USA will FORCE MANY to HYBRIDIZE just to SURVIVE which is the END GOAL of this IMPOVERISATION-"migration" AGENDA!

So this guy commits first degree home invasion and gets deported. He's been in the US since 4 years old; he didn't know this would have been a consequence of that action? Either he got married as a last-ditch effort to stay in the country, or naturalization after marriage wasn't priority. Getting deported for traffic tickets is one thing, but an armed home invasion is on another level. And the guy who was in fear for his life, he could have sought asylum in the first safe country he got to, but decided to press his luck. It's a little hard to feel sorry for the people they chose to showcase.
Honestly who wouldn't get frustrated they were just ignoring and walking past border patrol with no care in the world.

Unfortunately, if we do that the English-speaking west and Europe will start treating us like Chinese and start accusing us of stealing Western tech. It will not be permitted. Latin-speaking countries are not allowed to grow in power. Growing your economy means challenging the west. We must feed off the Crumbs like a dog that feeds off the crumbs that fall from the table. I personally do not mind working with the west but all countries including Africa should put their interests a priority instead of having to be pushed to make decisions that are convenient for more powerful countries. If the world worked together as one country one system with no borders the world would be peaceful. One Government United for the interest of all mankind. Right to many Religious, injustice, hypocrisy, stupidity, egotism, patriotism, patriotism cause hate in the interest of thy country. Always setting the narrative in the interest of a certain country even if its a lie they do not care for people they care to maintain power.

The difference between the Haitian and Ukrainian migrants, besides the ethnicity, of course, is that Haiti failed from within, whereas Ukraine was attacked by a foreign power and is currently embroiled in a hot war. Haiti is a poor country, with poor institutions, just like Afghanistan, Venezuela, Mozambique, and a host of other countries. It's not the same.
Haitians need to really work together and clean up their environmental situation. Stop fighting inside the country!!! Stop doing criminal crimes against each other as well. And the ones here in the United States need to do some serious political critiquing on what a mass cleanup and reorganization. ijs 🙏🙏🙏

Because Democrats say so, without any basis. FJB
A very wise out look that not many share. Strong borders do not mean a lack of compassion.
Agreed!!!!!!
The only politicians agreeing to that are Dems cause votes they will get while living in their gated homes
This isn't a case of people just crossing wantonly, obviously. there are circumstances that can mitigate the rules. For example, somebody that employs violence in self-defense, vs otherwise, could not be lumped with a perpetrator of violence.
All of a sudden, every country in the world is struggling and they're all ending up here in the USA. Where does it say we're responsible for all these countries? What, all Americans suddenly have to support thousands of people from all over the world? Do not tell me there aren't any criminals in the bunch, and coming from all that poverty, diseases are coming in as well, so stop thinking we owe everybody on this planet free entry into the USA. So what, we have to double up on our taxes so we can support thousands and thousands of people coming here, with no trade, no way of even finding employment so will most likely be living on taxpayer dollars forever. Border patrol agents wouldn't be acting like they did if the people did what they were supposed to do and stop antagonizing the agents by ignoring their commands. Already by doing that, they're showing their character and we don't need that here. I'm tired of seeing these migrants coming over the border with attitudes that we owe them. We owe them nothing. We worked hard all our lives to support our families, our country and they should do the same. And stop playing the race card, that's getting really tired at this point.
Fix the problem at home first and all will be well. People don’t deserve this level of despair.
Although I feel compassion for the Haitian people, we cannot take in every single person from these foreign countries. It's not just the Haitians, it's all these countries. EVERYONE CANNOT COME HERE. We can't afford it! And for all the woke people who say, "no person is legal," you are the very ones complaining about how "horrible and racist" America is. If it's so bad here, you should not be screaming about the UN and "immigration/asylum rights" for these people to come to this awful "racist" country.
I'm a democrat and I don;t want open borders. woke actually means awoke and aware. stop throwing around terms that you don;t understand. .
@@rowyourboat5361 I know what woke means. It's an urban slang that we've been using for years in the Black community! It means we are intellectually aware from a political perspective. Unfortunately, the "wokest" people are some of the truly least informed. Democrats ran on an open borders policy in 2020. They all went to the Southern border during that year; and they all were speaking Spanish during their opening statements of the Democratic debate. Democrats want open borders because their goal to legalize these people to get more votes. Now they won't even respond to questions about the border, the human trafficking and the drugs pouring into the country. So don't come under my comment telling me what I don't know! Democrats are the cause of this mess. They ruin EVERYTHING they touch and then turn around and get mad when illegals are bussed into "sanctuary cities." They are the reason why crime is up. They are the reason for inflation. Democrats love spending other people's money on people who don't belong here and people who are lazy and don't want to work.

What makes Haitians any different from the Cubans who can just hop on a boat and automatically be welcomed in the US? What about the other migrants from Mexico or South American countries who also come in large numbers? Some are welcomed others are not, but they all have their hands open when they come to the US.
