Given the political turmoil in Haiti already and lack of recovery from the earthquake a decade ago, this will be further devastation for a long-suffering country.

Oh, and there's a tropical storm headed their way too.

Jesus. These people deserve a break. I hope they get enough support this time.

That's pretty sad. At this point leaving the island seems like a good idea. There is some bad juju going on.

Biden admin. should offer the entire country an out and offer to place them in the Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi just to piss of the far rightwing nutters.

Joking aside, it's such a sad thing these islands go through over and over.

You joke about this but with the growing climate crisis, we’re going to be stuck with these kind of Sophie’s Choices. Things like the rising sea levels etc are going to see mass, permanent emigration as huge swathes of costal / low level areas become uninhabitable and it’ll be on countries like the US and over countries with huge areas of ‘spare’ land to house them.

Do that and give them all full voting rights.
