What do these gangs want?? They have destroyed their lands and done enough!!

[danasmith]

People who destroy their country should not go to other countries

Too many people have been taking advantage of our kindness. We shouldn't accept their problems as our problems. It's their problem, they should fix it, not us.

[MoonDog]

Should take a page from El Salvador's book.

The big question is where are the gangs getting their resupply from? I'll bet the US has something to do with it.

This is an unfortunate example of having to leave your country and claim asylum in the US. not the majority of venezuelans who want nike clothes and money

Where are the gangs getting the supply of bullets for the rifles?

[DivinelyGuided-is]

So sad that They're destroying their own country

Abandon all aid to Haiti and let the system collapse entirely.

Lord have mercy on Haiti in Jesus name. Let the violence end.

I think that we as Americans feel bad for what's happening, however let's remain clear of it. We need to monitor it and ensure our boarders are taken care of.

Thats why the Dominican Republic have a wall and actual border security etc Haiti will always be the same. We are full in the US. We have literally helped others into the worst debt in the history of our country. They have been given more than our citizens and we can't take anymore.

🤔Beautiful land that place should have been a paradise one hundred years ago... Unbelievable 🧐

[G-Man-half-life]

As an American 🇺🇸 I say we in the western world should stop all aid to Haiti and just let the country fall and collapse why should we in the west care about a poor country that is unwilling and refuses to change and improve their situation ??? the people of Haiti are never going to change.

[WayneModz]

I think Kamala should run for president in Haiti

[shamareh]

theyre fleeing from Haiti to other countries?
Isn't haiti attached to DR?

[Reagans_JellyBeans]

Remember when celebrities had to pretend this place was great cause Trump called it a 💩hole.

[wesleyrattray]

[FreddyJong-cocb]
