What you cannot do is have them flood into the country with little to no hope of stable housing or employment. All you've done is moved the crisis to your country, and there isn't enough infrastructure in place to properly handle them, so it's not really responsible to just have them come here and suffer in a different place. It's best to process them and send them back to Haiti. They can still apply for refugee status and wait in Haiti to get it. At least they'll be with their families there.

Hard not to be overwhelmed by the compassion and empathy in this post. Truly world-class humanitarian stuff here.
This would not look out of place coming from a Trump supporter in relation to his policies at the southern border.
Send them back to Haiti, to a country whose infrastructure has been decimated by a natural disaster and societal collapse. Maybe we can get back to them in 3-5 years. What address should we reach them at, the one that was demolished by an earthquake or one of the many safe houses they'll be forced to hide out in while they await their application to be heard.
But good point. I'm sure there families are alive, well, and easy to locate under current conditions.
