Speaker. with respect to Haiti we have a double standard. Is it because the Haitians are black? What other reason can there be? For the first time we have a nation of black people seeking asylum in large numbers. and our response has been a different kind of response. a different standard. Is it because the Haitians are black? We have gone further than just have a different standard with respect to asylum. We also have a policy of searching out Haitian boats on the high seas that are trying to get to this country. boats that are bringing people who are seeking to escape the terror in Haiti.
