No where to go
Here is an article from the New York Times that details how efforts have been made by human rights advocates and lawyers to stop the deportations of Haitians from US soil because of the awful and dangerous situation that they would face upon returning to Haiti. What they are seeking is to grant Haitians temporary protected status, the same protection that is offered to several Central American and African immigrant communities, basically they wonder how bad does Haiti have to be, how depressing to due the numbers have to be before Homeland Security decides that they deserve protection? Haitians are simply unwanted and have no place to seek refuge from an economic and political nightmare whether they flee to the east to the Dominican Republic or to the north to the US.
