Second. we must focus on the thugs. We should make life as difficult for them as we can. For example. if they have U.S. visas. we should cancel them. If they have assets in the United States. we should seize them. We should pressure our allies to do the same. Our laws appear to be achieving their purpose of differentiating between political and economic refugees. Over the 4 months since the coup. approximately 35 percent of applicants have received permission to apply for asylum. In the last 3 weeks. roughly 80 percent have received permission. Third. we must continue to uphold our laws. That means that those seeking asylum receive fair and thorough hearings. If their return to Haiti would endanger them. they should be allowed to apply for asylum in this country. Fourth. the OAS should establish an ontheground tracking system to assure the safety of Haitians who do return.
