Hundreds of Haitians deported by the U.S. in recent days left their homeland almost a decade ago. They're now returning to a nation that is even more violent, impoverished and politically unstable than when they left.

The 7.2-magnitude earthquake that struck southern Haiti last month and killed more than 2,200 people also destroyed her family’s home.

Gangs control roughly a third of the capital of Port-au-Prince, where some traffic circles are littered with burned tires and other materials piled up to be used as barricades. Overcrowded buses known as tap-taps kick dust into air already clogged with columns of black smoke that rise from communities where some warehouses and police stations have been looted.

More than 320 migrants were deported to Haiti on Sunday, and two flights arrived early Monday afternoon, with one plane carrying some 130 migrants, according to Haiti’s Office of National Migration. Additional flightsDoctors Without Borders, which recently closed a clinic in one of the capital’s most violent areas, demanded that the U.S. stop deporting migrants based on humanitarian grounds.

It’s not just the capital. The country of more than 11 million people is struggling with a nationwide spike in gang activity, soaring inflation rates and dwindling jobs. About 60% of people earn less than $2 a day, and those returning to Haiti will be competing with the tens of thousands of out-of-work locals seeking employment.

Hopefully they can apply the lessons they have learned from other countries toward helping Haiti improve.

POTUS is screwing everything up at the border!

And that is our fault? They could have stayed in Mexico or Brazil where they have been for a “decade”.

chenweihua I'm sure China will welcome them with open arms.

A country can have permeable borders so that just about any who wants it can come in or control the border so that only people who allow to enter legally can come in.
