Some congressman from FL are asking for Haitians to be given temporary status, what do you think about that? See details.

For a very long time now, years, Haitians have been floating over to the shores of FL, just like Cubans, but Cubans are given Asylum, and Haitians are deported. Many have said this is racism, but really I think it is a political thing. Although, I do think there is an argument to be made that the Haitians have basically lived in anarchy for years, only recently seeing some changes.

Since there are many Haitians in certain districts of FL, it behooves their representitive to ask for the temporary status. It is not only an altruistic act, but also self serving.

Still, during this great time of need for the Haitians, I can see wanting to let them into our country. The thing is temporary is a joke to me. Once in, they are in.

Also, I would be interested to know if you think we should still let Cubans in under asylum?
