Because freedom isn't free and when given on a silver platter is unappreciated and too easily relinquished in favor of safety and/or goodies.

I agree. I think we should have a moratorium of 10 yrs on immigration of ANY kind.
I tire of nations who refuse to help themselves who think they can just come to the US.
It gives no incentive to make their own country liveable.

I noticed while reading this LA Times piece that it said:

"President Obama pledged not to forsake or forget Haiti" and that "to that end, the administration immediately sent military assistance".

Does anyone find it a little fucking vile, if not Orwellian to put the word "assistance" after the word "military"?

Not that the boys in camo can't help someone out if need be, but given this tiny little nation, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere, has seen it's government fucking OVERTHROWN by the United States TWICE in the last 20 years, you'd think that no one in Haiti would see the US military as providing anything remotely resembling "assistance".

I hardly think a little help to them would hardly classify as "spoiling them". That's like a rapist offering his victim a glass of water in between assults and suggesting she'd be unappreciative.

Instead of offering a few thousand Haitians the great privilege to float on a piece of wood in hope of reaching beach front property in Florida, how about we instead just stop fucking them over?

You might learn something. Don't you know that one of the goals of the left is to turn the military into "Meals on Wheels"

... most people on the planet would prefer to be here. That would equal 6 billion people in the U.S. with the rest of the planet abandoned. LOL

Moratorium = yes!

Let them solve their own problems.

each would have more than 1200 square feet as their own. Not quite enough to be self sufficient but we could probably make them comfortable.

I've heard enough race baiting from opiate addicts in my day. I don't need to hear any more.

HA! Rush is the ultimate D-bag.
