The people who currently live in Haiti are utterly incapable of self government. They try to move illegally to the neighboring Dominican Republic but are deported back when caught. US politician make a lot of noise about the deportations. So basically we have a situation where white people tell brown people not to deport black people. But the brown people in the Dominican Republic don't care and don't want their country turning into Haiti. So they keep deporting the blacks.

It's amazing what can be accomplished by Dominicans when they have just a bit more European genetic admixture: a functioning peaceful society.

This is painful to read. I have been involved with charity work in Haiti for forty years. Your piece just reminds me how dire it is.
