By having to reposess homes for pennies on the dollar? They'll get their money back easily.

What? What do you even think you mean? At least some equity was likely put down upon purchase, followed by likely years of price appreciation. What reason do you have to believe "mortgage companies"made bad bets with these loans?

For the most part first-generation Haitians work hard. Saw a documentary about Springfield, Ohio, and the factory boss said they work hard and don't fail pee tests.

It will be their children who are complete turds, which is how immigration usually works.


While I'm not saying this is fully false, this just isn't my experience. I live in Florida where there is a significant Haitian population and at one time worked for a Company that employed a fair amount of Haitians in lower positions like custodial and cleaning positions.

Most Haitians will do the least amount of work they can get away with. It's a lazy culture and I saw it personally. You couldn't leave them alone for a long period of time because then their jobs wouldn't get done.

Most Haitians will live in Haitian enclaves, will not assimilate and will be proud of not assimilating. I interacted with some Haitians who had been here 15 years and couldn't speak a word of English outside of "translator". They can also be very rude.

Many of them are simply trashy people. The areas they took over, became trashy very quickly.

And they price actually Americans out of homes and apartments. They will pack in a 4 bedroom home with at least 8 people, 2 for each room. I've heard it can be more. So each individual is only paying a little in rent and those people can easily outbid someone who is a single income or even dual income with their spouse.

Haitians also were terrible for the economy. For most Haitians, when they get their paychecks, they keep just enough to pay for housing and food. They typically don't have individual cars and will cram 6 people in a car to get to the same job. The remainder of their paychecks were all sent back to Haiti. That is money that's never returning to the U.S.

In general they are nasty people and they are lazy people. I'm not saying they are all terrible, but the majority are. It really does make sense to me why Haiti is in the condition it's in. It's not just a failed government, it's a failed culture.

But the Earthquake is long over, they should've gone back at least 10 years ago. They have abused the system. But better late than never. They won't be missed.

Perfect opportunity for those Haitians to sell those homes and take the equity back to Haiti to help their own people and economy in Haiti.

Looks like enough timevto navigate the USCIS naturalized citizenship system to become citizens.

I’m not one to normally defend these people, but the USCIS is a wreck. I personally know professors at major state schools in STEM fields and from 1st world countries that have been in the system 12+ years to get citizenship. These are relatively high paid individuals working for government institutions, clearly not in the US just to escape 3rd world hellscapes, and with a verifiable education from real schools not fake degree mills

So mortgage companies put everyone through the ringer while applying but they never ask "Are You a US Citizen ? "

So what law am I then allowed to break, without repercussions, as an actual American citizen? If they would get to do that?

How much you wanna bet a Democrat will push for some coded rider on a spending bill to refund the affected lenders? It will get attached to some trillion dollar bill the right wants or, won't care about.

Good news is that if they are still in a livable condition, they'll be some housing opening up soon.

None, silly. The system can only allow certain people an advantage as long as a substantial core is playing by the rules.

First of all.

They just make up statistics like this.

There was a claim recently that if we deported the Somalis on TPS that we’d lose hundreds of thousands of nurses. And it was just made up.

Open borders policy has consequences.

You can’t have a party without a hangover and massive clean up the next day. Most adults know this.

The immigration system is definitely, inexcusably inefficient, but i guarantee it could work better without the 15 million backlog. It has increased 3.5 times in the last 10 years.

Thanks to the fools in DC.
