We have examples where we have opened our borders for people who are under that kind of pressure. We have good examples. We have a good tradition. We should be proud of that tradition. But in the case of the Haitians. the American tradition ends. breaks down. and we impose something new. an interdiction. which is something very different from anything else we have ever done to any other group of people. Why? Is it because they are black? is it because this is a black nation. these are black people. these are black refugees? We have gone even further than interdiction. First. we dont give them the same treatment with respect to asylum.
