And we. to our profound and continuing shame. are unprepared to help them. either to improve significantly the quality of life in Haiti or to provide for a just and orderly manner in which some Haitians might come to the United States to live. Worse still. the U.S. Government has been unable or unwilling to halt the execrable trafficking in Haitian refugees that is occurring just a few miles from American land. Desperate Haitians pay whatever money they can gather to the vilest sort of people. who promise to transport them to American waters. Sometimes the bodies of the wouldbe refugees wash ashore in Florida. Can the Coast Guard not seek out these brigands on the high seas. and halt these murders? Why cannot the U.S.
