The treatment of Haitian political refugees deserves the attention of decent people everywhere. I am concerned about Haitian political refugees because I am a human being. I am also concerned specifically and particularly because my district has the largest number of HaitianAmericans outside the community of Miami. So the second largest HaitianAmerican community in the country is in Brooklyn in the 12th Congressional District. We all should be concerned about the savage and inhumane drama that is taking place on the seas between Haiti and the shores of the United States. The Haitians have again become the victims of military thugs who refuse to recognize democracy and have used their guns to force themselves upon the people. even after democracy so beautifully prevailed in an election in Haiti where 70 percent of the people who came out to vote voted for President Aristide.
