Haitian refugees

jeudi 23 novembre 2017 à 01:00

The US will end temporary residency permits for Haitians in 2019, requiring the earthquake refugees to return to Haiti.

In principle, I see nothing wrong with accepting refugees from disasters temporarily. Is Haiti safe for them to return to? Three hurricanes have devastated Haiti since the earthquake, as well as the UN-installed cholera epidemic.

I don't know the facts well enough to judge the answer to that question. I don't have confidence in what the US government says about it, but I don't know of any unbiased judge either.
