Whew , very insensitive!
But false? or true?
Port au Prince is not much further from Washington DC than New Orliens we may be obliged less but we have had time to develop our response so you would think it would be possible that we would have developed abilitys to get help where needed better than we used to have.
Are we more able to respond to major disaster since Katrina , or about the same?
Should we reserve some capability because this is another nation?

I agree with him
I'll go further, putting money into Haiti is like throwing it down a black hole
Look what all the $$millions sent there has done -- nada, nothing, zilch, zero

There are about eight million Haitians in Hati , (I'm useing faulty memory, feel free to correct my figures) and five hundred thousand Haitians in the US and Canada.
I warrant that the expatriot Haitians make more money than their whole nation at home does , and what they send home is a major part of the GNP.
Already executive orders have stopped the repatriation of Haitians awaiting deportation, they will apparently wait in prisons untill they can be deported to a Hati ready to accept them, this could be quite a wait.
Lets grant temporary work visas for the length of this emergency , round two years or so. Makeing the illeagal temporarily leagal.
This would put them on our workforce , many of them would send money home where their grandmothers would spend it very effectively.
And it would get them out of our prisons, where we spend three times as much on them to warehouse them in cages as they are able to earn .

Dude, in these times, if something is deemed to be insensitive, you can bet your bottom dollar it's true. Nobody is offended by the ridiculous.
