The 1991 State Department Human Rights Report said: President Aristide appeared less concerned about prosecuting members of the military accused of human rights abuses if they were supporters or appointees of his Government * * * President Aristide also failed to condemn categorically all recourse to popular Justice through mob violence. The Aristide Government made no effort to identify and to bring to justice those responsible for the wholesale killing. looting. and burning * * * Mr. President. the only possible United States interest in Haiti would be to stop the flow of refugees into our southern border. The United States established three immigration centers in Haiti and they are working. Virtually all Haitian refugees who have come to the United States are economic refugees. If they were political refugees they would walk across the border into the Dominican Republic. There is no justification to risk the life of even one United States soldier in Haiti now or in the future. Aristide. whom we support and whom the Clinton administration supports. is a human rights abuser.
