Nicaraguans. people fleeing oppression in Central America or South America. we have always opened the doors. People from Lebanon. Palestine. all over we have consistently opened our doors to political refugees. Only the Haitians have been treated differently. only the Haitians. Could it be the fact that the Haitians are black that has elicited this special Inhumane treatment? I think we should take a close look at the situation where we are detaining people on the high seas because they are black. Clearly they are political refugees. There is no more clear definition of a political refugee than a person who is fleeing from bullets and bombs of his own government. The military has taken over in Haiti. They have murdered at least 1.000 people in the process of the takeover and since the takeover.
