I am not proud of the actions of the United Nations. They sit silent and acquiesce and bow to the policies of our present administration. They are not taking the kind of strident positions they should take in defense of the lives of Haitian refugees. All of us. the United States. the OAS. the United Nations. Europe. and Japan. everybody should admit that this is a situation which is very dangerous. and that anybody seeking to escape from Haiti has a justification for leaving. The situation has grown more dangerous in the last few days. We returned 587 Haitian refugees just yesterday. At the same time it was reported that in PortauPrince there have been shootings in the city every night for the last week. The same report indicates that 16 people were murdered in the past week.
