Haiti is in this hemisphere. 800 miles off the coast of Florida. Our national security would be degraded in at least three aspects if we let Haiti fall back into the hands of the murderers. the police. the military. and the Duvaliers. First. a return to chaos would dramatically increase Haitian refugees beyond anything we have ever seen. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians are already preparing to flock to this country. flocking to airports to flee. Are we ready? Are we ready and prepared to clothe and feed a half million Haitian refugees? They will come. First of all. they will hit the Bahamas and sink them. and then move on to the United States.
