All that happened before Aristide was elected. Once he was elected and the people saw they had hope they stopped trying to enter the United States illegally. We did not have a problem of large numbers of illegal Haitian refugees. We did not have a problem which made us behave in an inhumane way by denying people the right to enter the country in order to seek asylum. Many of the problems as a result of the desperate attempt of people to get out of Haiti did not exist. and they will not exist again if President Aristide is returned. If President Aristido is returned and a stable government restored. the democracy which the Haitian people have fought for begins to blossom. you will have the creation of a new market.
