More recent events reflect some indication of a change in a more positive direction. one that I hope would enhance the effort to improve the human rights environment in Haiti. However. that remains to be seen. and I could not in good conscience rest assured that any and all Haitians that might be returned to Haiti would not suffer programmed or arbitrary abuse. There has been much discussion that the Haitian refugees are simply economic refugees and therefore not entitled to refuge in our country. This simplistic and distorted assertion einanates from a theoretical assumption that economics and politics are separable. This was not asserted nor could it be in the case of the Indochinese refuges.
