Damage estimates for Haiti earthquake
 

News reports that most of the country is devastated. Damage estimates could be as high as $300

not bad 300 bucks

hopefully all the aide money goes to the right people and places

It won't and that's the sad part. Being in Florida I know many Haitians and for the most part they are good hard working people. I actually exported a few containers there a while back with my closeout business. It's sad but that country has always had issues and always will, they need a completely new government and a hell of an army to kill off their gangs and then they could become a tourist mecca, just as Cuba will one day again.

Should they be allowed to float into the US?

Fuck NO, and I don't think America should send them any aide, I think it's up to the private sector to do what they want to do. Haiti has some rich resources that they could ride but they can't get their heads out of their asses.
