The D.R. is already struggling and thousands would be too many and millions would not be enough to save HaitiThank you for a respectful answer to my post. I never suggested that millions of Haitians be admitted. Thousands would be enough.

Wah Wah - Kind of tiring to see people hide behind everyone who disagrees with me is a Misogynist, and accuse those responding to their drivel negatively as MAGA.As one of the few posters here who was actually born in the DR, I actually care about the country, and its culturally wonderful neighbour, Haiti. I care that Haitians will die at sea because the DR won't open its doors. It welcomed the German Jews, I'd hoped this thread would be kinder and more compassionate. Are you male or female, AE? Because every time a woman voices a strong opinion here, the old white guys pile on her. Seriously, you don't have to worry about my posts or sharing my computer with another Dominican friend. Once is enough. Guess the DR attracts the MAGA crowd. White male privilege. Men who are afraid of women and of being outnumbered by another, very dark race.
You forget to mention your white woman privilege, which now days is several degrees higher than that of a white male. White Liberal females are destroying society, not making it better. They certainly aren't strong independent women, unless you call the Borg independent. There are at least a million illegal Haitians, and another 500,000 legal Haitians in the DR already. Many of them contribute to the economy, but many are a drain on the country, and not just economically. Like any immigrant people, there needs to a process to allow certain numbers in, and effective law and order to control the numbers. The case of the German Jews, as in your family's case, the numbers were much, much smaller.As one of the few posters here who was actually born in the DR, I actually care about the country, and its culturally wonderful neighbour, Haiti.

It's called "being a Karen" or Karen privilege, so next time you get to see a "shut up, Karen" being thrown on Facebook or Twitter, you will know to which demographics the person being alluded to belongs to.You forget to mention your white woman privilege, which now days is several degrees higher than that of a white male. White Liberal females are destroying society, not making it better. They certainly aren't strong independent women, unless you call the Borg independent.
It always amuses me to no end when Karens like her and other progressive leaning persons liken Haitians to German Jews, when the difference between both populations go beyond the racial question, and fundamentally, speak about one of character/type: Haitians, on the one hand, are fundamentally a peasant population, little removed from their plantation slavery origins, even today. While German Jews, on the other hand, were an urban population, more devoted to the artisan trades and commerce, and this is key, with levels of literacy far beyond what the common Haitian (or even Dominican) today could dream of. It is beyond disingenuous to pretend that the effect of 1.5 million German Jews on the DR would have been the same as the one of the estimated 1.5 million Haitians here today. Let's just say that with 1.5 million Jews, DR would have reached the financial hub status a century earlier instead of it being still on the wet dream status phase it is now.There are at least a million illegal Haitians, and another 500,000 legal Haitians in the DR already.

Already millions hereThank you for a respectful answer to my post. I never suggested that millions of Haitians be admitted. Thousands would be enough.
With the productivity of 1.5 million Jews the DR could support many millions of Haitians or maybe all of Haiti and there would be no need to ask the international community to help the neighbor, the DR could pick up the broken plates on that one. The only problem is the word "could" as in it can't at the moment (and never has). The DR has done more than enough to help the Haitians without interfering in its internal affairs. Perhaps the "Karens" can go to Jamaica and Cuba, as they are the other two neighbors of Haiti, and push for those societies to absorb as many Haitians as the DR has done proportional to their demographic size. The "Karens" can actually be beneficial rather then wasting their time on the DR. Jamaica could take an additional 200,000 and Cuba 1.1 million for a total of 1.3 million.It always amuses me to no end when Karens like her and other progressive leaning persons liken Haitians to German Jews, when the difference between both populations go beyond the racial question, and fundamentally, speak about one of character/type: Haitians, on the one hand, are fundamentally a peasant population, little removed from their plantation slavery origins, even today.

Certainly, less than 0.5% of the population or statistically irrelevant considering the actual amount was much less than that.You forget to mention your white woman privilege, which now days is several degrees higher than that of a white male.

Senegal but that fell through as Haitians didn't took the offer.But few years ago the president of an African country said the Haitians will be given free land over there, I forgot the name of that country.

Unlike jews, very few Haitians would qualify as refugees. Refuge has its rules, for instance, that your life is in danger because you're being persecuted due to your race, nationality, religion, or being a part of a social, social, or political group, etc.As one of the few posters here who was actually born in the DR, I actually care about the country, and its culturally wonderful neighbour, Haiti.
