Since the government has now given temporary protected status and made all the illegals, now legal, no doubt there will be plenty to step forward to take in the little tykes.

It will give those Haitian drug dealers another income if nothing else.

What are we letting in? Do you know?

Haiti’s geographical position, weak institutions, and extreme poverty have made it a key conduit for drug traffickers transporting cocaine from South America to the United States and, to a smaller degree, Canada and Europe. The Haitian National Police (HNP) lacks discipline and is riddled with corruption. The judicial system is dysfunctional, its prosecutors and judges susceptible to bribes and intimidation.

Corruption, weak law enforcement capability and lack of Haitian commitment combined to limit Haitian counternarcotics cooperation in general, although Haitian officials have cooperated in some specific cases. The Interim Government of Haiti’s (IGOH) major achievement was the arrest and expulsion of Jean Eliobert Jasme and the dissolution of much of his drug organization. In addition, the IGOH has seen the installation of the Joint Information Coordination Center (JICC) and the Maritime Interdiction Task Force (MITF), which though still developing, are already proving useful tools against drug trafficking organizations. However, Haiti’s ongoing political and economic crises continued to grip the country in 2004, eclipsing the fight against drug trafficking.

Haiti remains highly susceptible to money laundering due to its weak legal system and pervasive corruption. The money laundering law passed in 2002 has not been implemented. The anti-money laundering commission finally submitted candidate lists for Director General and Deputy Director General to the President and the Minister of Justice. On December 11, 2003, the GOH inaugurated the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to serve as a clearinghouse for information relating to money laundering and other misuses of the financial system. The FIU will simultaneously serve as a conduit for the transfer of seized assets to the Ministry of Finance. Haiti is a party to the 1988 UN Drug Convention.

Be sure to send in a donation. Lord Knows those dealers aren't parting with a cent.
