Haiti: can't we put America first?
By Mike McDaniel
Haiti is coming apart, and as always, the US government is making it worse. In the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake that devastated the island, the Clintons grabbed on and never let go:
Mrs Clinton was Secretary of State and Mr Clinton was UN Special Envoy to Haiti when the January 2010 earthquake struck, killing an estimated 220,000 people.
Some $13.3bn (£10.9bn) was pledged by international donors for Haiti's recovery.
Mr Clinton was appointed co-chairman of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC), along with Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive.
The Clinton Foundation later said it raised some 30 million for Haiti and never took a dime for itself, but Haitians tend to disagree about the effectiveness of Clinton help:
In email exchanges with top Clinton Foundation officials, a senior aide to Mrs Clinton, who was then-secretary of state, kept an eye out for those identified by the abbreviations "FOB" (friends of Bill Clinton) or "WJC VIPs" (William Jefferson Clinton VIPs).
"Need you to flag when people are friends of WJC," wrote Caitlin Klevorick, a senior State Department official who was vetting incoming offers of assistance coming through the Clinton Foundation.

The only "solution" for Haiti is to do what the Dominicans have done:
Build a wall and corral them all in, and let things work out from there, in whatever way they're going to go.

...and DO NOT import the problem.
