"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    From a Reader: A Warning Against Permitting Unchecked Immigration of Haitians to the U.S.

    From commenter A.M. Whittaker:

    I've been following the horrific effects of the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake.

    Hundreds of thousands are homeless, the infrastructure of Haiti (the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere) is completely ruined, and there is going to be an imminent health problem due to all the cadavers piled the streets and trapped in rubble. The lack of water is also an a major issue.

    These people do need to be, and deserved, to be helped by nations worldwide.

    However, it is obvious that President Obama, in the spirit of 'compassion' will offer the US as a safe refuge and permanent home to tens of  thousands of Haitians. The Clintons will probably be quite involved with  this.

    Deja Voodoo: It reminds me of the plight of Haitian political refugees in 1992. In that year, President Clinton, lifted the ban on the HIV-infected refugees who had been held in camps at Guantanemo Bay.  By this act, he allowed nearly 300 known HIV/AIDS-infected refugees into the United States.

    I fear that by doing this, many of the Haitians, we will be taking accepting, will be either infected with HIV or other diseases. Here is a site concerning HIV statistics in Haiti. We have also set up a partnership to fight HIV/AIDS in Haiti.

    Additionally, the national  prison collapsed and hardened criminals are roaming the country and could seek refuge here. This is a frightening thought.

    Although I believe that many Haitians refugees should be allowed to immigrate here, Indiscriminate immigration would be disasterous to this nation.  It will overburden our country, especially, the health sector. We need to make sure that the refugees we allow to enter are healthy and respectable as well as urge other nations to take their fair share of refugees.

    We should then contribute, with other nations, to the rebuilding of Haiti.

    Update 1-19-10 - from WFTV in Orlando, Florida:

    ORLANDO, Fla. -- The American Red Cross says a plan to bring 45,000 evacuees from Haiti to Florida, and 4,000 of those to Orange County, is not set in stone. The Red Cross clarified Friday who could be involved in a plan to move people out of Haiti.

    The Red Cross is preparing for two things: the repatriation of Americans living in Haiti and the possibility of a mass migration of Haitian nationals.

     Update 1-21-10 - from the Miami Herald:

    200,000 Haitian migrants could file for Temporary Protected Status

    Federal immigration officials predict that up to 200,000 Haitians could apply for Temporary Protected Status, which would keep them from being deported. Applications will be accepted starting Thursday.

    Update 1-22-10 -  from Reuters:

    TOLEDO, Spain, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Haitian citizens who arrive in the United States illegally after the Jan. 12 earthquake will be sent home, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Friday.

    Although the United States has said it will allow eligible Haitians living in the country when the 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck to stay and work for 18 months, this will not apply to those who leave Haiti to escape the disaster.

    "Haitians need to be there to help rebuild their country, this is not an opportunity for migration," Napolitano said at a news conference in the Spanish city of Toledo.

    Sounds good - but does it apply to those 45,000 evacuees mentioned in the 1-19-10 update of this post?

    Oh, stop!

    You can already hear the loud cries of "racism", if Haitians aren't admitted indiscriminately

    When I lived in Florida, we watched on television as Haitians floated, swam, struggled ashore.  Churches took them in, and everyone felt real good about that.

    A month later our school was practically emptied due to a strain of pneumonia that did not respond to treatment. As I almost died, someone figured out it was a strain from Haiti, new to America.  Even though the new meds worked once we got them, it was -two years- before I, and many others, felt healthy again. I still have "diminished lung capacity".

    My hope is that authorities...the people who are paid to uphold the laws and rules, take a break from the "loud cries of racism" to perform their duties.

    Oh, and btw, fyi, California is full.

    all indian youth and adults must see avatar. (see why in my himalayan times nepal blog). as regards cpi-M a new american movie will give you support over the dirty political and press games of reactionary fascist greedy politicians of all parties right and left. “the rules of engagemen” about the vietnam war and american conniving massacres in saan in yemen is brilliant and revealing that the united states is changing for the better and perhaps in india the white tiger may also not be so true in the future.

    indeed the united states mass media and conniving politicians of both the right and left create terrorism and make money shooting it down. why has bin laden not been found. its good payola not to capture him otherwise money minting military industrial complexes will lower their profits. its time that the citizens of planet earth realised the crocodiles with smiling faces who pose as politicians and good christians who ,love jesus in the congress and senate. even saint barracks excellent health care bill will be riddled with holes by american democrats and republicans. they all worship the golden calf and speak with the forked tongue of the cobra. i have just returned from siem riep in cambodia. in all the temples and on many bridges is the five headed cobra symbolising the right hand of our predator specie homo sapiens. charles manson types individually and socially the amoral military industrial complexes and advertising corpses which run us all.

    https://mail.google.com/mail/images/chevron.gif  https://mail.google.com/mail/images/chevron.gif    <   > Web Clip   A CHILD psychiatrist revisits suicidal homicidal terrorism and a mother who drowns her 5 children in despair and a shoah victim who kills her husband. . PART 1 in terms of sincerity love and hate the children of islam(abraham)
    behave like demented mothers who kill their own children out of
    despair and desperation when they project their helpless pain or rage
    onto their babies. suicidal homicidal terrorism is socially determined
    by fundamentalist islam and on an individual level the mother who is
    melancholic drowns her children. american law courts face this reality
    with imbecility when they fight legal battles as to whether these
    mothers are murderers or psychotic( NOT UNCOMMONLY OVERDOSAGE WITH
    ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDICATION IS INVOLVED). when i was a resident in
    psychiatry i will never forget the victim of auschwitz(the shoah) WHO
    SHOT HER HUSBAND WHEN SHE HALLUCINATED THAT HE WAS A NAZI (she
    subsequently suicided when she realised what she had done). in a sense
    mothers who kill their children this way are untreatable for if cured
    of their psychosis

    https://mail.google.com/mail/images/chevron.gif    https://mail.google.com/mail/images/chevron.gif   PART 2 they will inevitably kill themselves. i am
    remembering that often doctors become inadvertent murderers when they
    treat drug addicts in rehabilitation centres. these unfortunates who
    are addicted lets say to heroine withdraw and are then cast out of the
    rehab centre by stupid professionals and not uncommonly overdose on
    heroine when they take their usual iv hit( they are no longer used to
    high drug dependency). in the real world of today suicidal homicidal
    terorism has become pandemic. it is a terrifying aspect of the human
    condition as americans after 911 fear that some fundamentalist maniac
    will lop a nuclear bomb into the yankee stadium or that pakistan will
    lose control and jihadists will have access to nuclear weapons. the
    idiocy of these american anti-terrorist attitudes is that they spend
    millions of almighty bucks to maintain mirv carrying nuclear
    submarines 24 hours a day which keep all of mankind on a knife edge of
    nuclear annihilation. .

    smoking the pipe of peace. thailand cambodia nepal and ein breira israel

    the small nations must show the way ON PLANET EARTH to PEACE AND
    FULFILLMENT INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY’ THE G5-G20 ARE OVERGROWN
    IMBECILIC OVERCONSUMERIST IMBECILES WHO WORSHIP THE ALMIGHTY BUCK.
    ALL MUST SEE AVATAR OF JAMES CAMERON AND GET DEPROGRAMMED FROM ALL
    THAT PAVLOVIAN SLAVERING DOG MENTALITY OF GREED AND JEALOUSY OF THE
    PAST GENERATIONS. UNOBTANIUM AT 20 MILLION DOLLARS AND OUNCE
    SYMBOLISES THE GREED OF THE AMERICAN ETHOLOGY. THE IMMORTAL WORDS OF
    AVATAR( the grunt american marine who evolves into an abrahamic
    fighter and leader) SAYS IT ALL. childlike but very wise buddha style
    exclamations within this toratic post modern hi-tech psychedelic
    dramatic drama) in which all the viewers are morons and stupid
    children who must grow up and realise that all is change decay and
    transformation and be mindful in all actions. 


      on  02/17/10  at  09:30 PM   Thailand  #8

    PART 2.  be mindful in all actions. the marxist hegel says
    it another way. synthesis, anti-synthesis and resynthesis. in hindu
    and buddhist symbolism the fragrant beauteous lotus which lives only
    2 days and re-emerges from the dirt garbage and #### to flower again
    shows us the way OF REALITY MERGING WITH TRUTH. THE FIVE HEADED COBRA
    AND CROCODILE SYMBOLISES THE EVIL INCLINATIUON WITHIN US ALL. TODAY
    THAILAND AND ISRAEL ARE IN MY TELESCOPIC SIGHT. firstly thailand. war
    and blood in the streets could be the price paid within a few days
    the reds yellows new and old aristocratic rich and their power elites
    are all imbeciles and fools all playing deadly games with eachother.
    will they repeat the filth and horror of a monstrous nazi like general
    kittikachorn who massacred thousands of students in thailand in the
    last generation.


      on  02/17/10  at  09:37 PM   Thailand  #9

     yes or no it is all happening in thailand here and
    now while the prima donna generals tend to run amok in their idiotic
    competitive power games. secondly little israel and this is a revisit
    of the creative writers of grossman, amos oz yehoshua et al and their
    unresolved grief victimising that colorful foolish somewhat greedy ex
    prime minister ehud olmert who blindly continued to play war games
    courtesy of arik sharon and the arrogsance of the 6 day war. eternal
    grief and yad vashem of the shoah colours the lives of all jews. i say
    unto you writers ex pm echud olmert is not your real enemy which
    causes the loss of our sons and daughters. it is the ein breira(no
    choice ethos) post nagasaki and hiroshima courtesy of a jew called
    albert einstein which colors the lives of israel’s politicians in
    spite of the large proportion of the sons of ishmael and their
    politicians in the knesset within its borders.


      on  02/17/10  at  09:52 PM   Thailand  #10

    PART 3. the evil and good
    inclination the yetser hara and tov lurks within all our hearts as
    part of our genetic dna heritage. visit the beautiful buddhist temple
    in siem riep cambodia which also recently had its holocaust under pol
    pot courtesy of the carpet bombing of the united states of kissinger
    et al (born a jew). on the gate of this temple which rests on the
    lotus is the image of the crocodile swallowing humans and outside is
    the image of the 5 headed cobra symbolising the hand of man and of
    course moses who parted the red sea ever so long ago. it is the fear
    of death and the christian apostate catholic priest martin luther the
    author of the holocaust and the fundamentalist radical mohammedan
    that is your real enemy. of course all consuming grief and the worship
    of self that makes us think and act in a whole variety of abnormal
    ways. 


      on  02/17/10  at  09:57 PM   Thailand  #11

    PART3.

     david grossman i have ,heard that echud olmert sent his shalom
    achshavnik daughter to make peace with you and you cast her out just
    like abraham cast out haggar the former slave who begat ishmael. human
    nature takes many twists and turns. today our greatest enemy is the
    blindly consumerist electronic chip idolatrous gold worshipping ways
    of the united states. look at toyota and honda their cars can be death
    traps with their fanatically hi-teched electronic circuits and
    naturally israel must annihilate any threat to its existence which
    began in the 80’s with the bombing of their nuclear reactor. it is the
    legacy of framatome of france and machmoud amadinijad that posture and
    threaten israel but these are storms in teacups compared to the
    hegemeny of america as described by noam chomsky who understands the
    way of the gattling gun and repeater rifle that mowed down over a
    million of america’s finest so long ago. 



      on  02/17/10  at  10:03 PM   Thailand  #12

    part4.  america has a monstrous
    nuclear monopoly with its HIGHLY PROFITABLE 24 hour per day nuclear
    submarines which circle beneath our seas and feet every minute of the
    day. mutual assured destruction M.A.D. STILL RULES THE AMERICAN WAY OF
    BEING WHICH IS COPIED BY THOSE CRAZY SUICIDAL HOMICIDAL HELPLESSLY
    DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS IN TODAYS PANDEMIC OF SELF WORSHIP AND 76
    VIRGINS IN PARADISE. TERRORISM AND ANTI-TERRORISM ARE MONEY MINTING
    HIGHLY PROFITABLE WAYS OF BEING IN TODAYS WORLD. ITS BIG BUSINESS AND
    HUMAN GREED AT WORK IN BOTH ISLAM AND THE UNITED STATES. TO ALL
    ISRAELIS ZIONISM (and all nationalisms) must be transcended AND ARE
    NOW OBSOLETE IN TODAYS WORLD. ALL JEWS INCLUDING ISRAELIS(and
    muslims) MUST BECOME UNIVERSAL IN THEIR WAY OF BEING. SONS AND
    DAUGHTERS OF ISRAEL AND ALL THE YOUTH OF OUR DYING PLANET WHICH HAS
    KILLED ITS MOTHER GO SEE THAT MASTERPIECE AVATAR AND GET REPROGRAMMED
    AND DEPROGRAMMED.

    its actually happening 160 years later after karl marx created the universal UTOPIAN concept of communism a form of communalism. hundreds of thousands of thais workers peasants the needy the poor the informal economy are dancing and singing in the streets of bangkok. who could have believed it. thailand of all places has lept to the forefront of a peoples hi-tech revolution. to each according to their need from all according to their ability. with tears in my eyes as i walked the road of rachadamnoen i saw the ordinary people dancing into the future of thailand. the possibility of a real peace freedom and democracy with the banishment of ignorance greed nepotism and generals run amok a thing of the past. in  the face of the mobilisation of 60000 police and army by the thorougly scarred pm abhisit vejjajiva pseudo-academic caimbridge democrat who hides in the 17th military BASE inside an american helicopter the future of thailand is being created by peoples power made manifest by enlightened business men and the anointed ex pm thaksin shinawatra and of course the hi-tech of mass communication and video conferencing. adam rosenblatt  MB.

    in india the very wealthy hide their wealth behind dilapidated house fronts as otherwise they would be robbed blind by the hungry and needy. australia has imposed severe immigration resrictions to prevent the needy and hungry destroying the wealthy australian economy. protectionism has its good and evil side. the united states is unable to resolve its eternal problems of cheap labour from the latin countries. thailand is cruel and brutal in its treatment of hard working illegal refugees. the problems of class warefare the rich and the poor the ignorant poverty ridden are universal in all societies. all must see at least 5 times the masterpiece epic of james cameron's avatar to reprogram our minds from all the garbage of our childhood social and educational pavlovian slavering dog conditioning. it is no accident that bangkoks streets in thailand is manifesting a true hi-tech red revolution of peoples power while the film industry also in synchrony is manifesting a revolution within our unconscious minds. adam rosenblatt ecologist on line free lance journalist. child psychiatrist.

    goebbel's nazi style propaganda has reached grotesque artistic proportions with the rajapaksa brothers of sri lanka and marshall thweij of burma. they are indeed masters of the big lie. the bigger the better and the more people will believe it. the norwegian peace negotiator of the tamil tiger chronic war is indeed very guilty. he persuaded the tamil leaders to show the white flag and they were all shot dead very quickly. indeed ban ki moon of the un is trying to kick the rajapaksas in the arse for criminal behaviour but he wont succeed since everyone loves powerful corrupted leaders with their control of the army and inbuilt wealth pomp and circumstance.  certainly with all the money involved the united states always is ready to compromise and kiss arse and speak the double talk of democracy and freedom ineffectively as is the case with burma. of course china also plays both ends against the middle with the wa war lords and their big drug money world and private army. american style tongue in cheek sanctions also never work too well as big money is always involved.as has been the case with an san suu ki.
