I don't understand that either. Yes Haiti is having an enormous crisis but giving them land, extending their visas, I don't get it either. Did any country extend the visas of New Yorkers overseas after 9-11? Nope. Did anyone give them land? Nope. Has any citizen from any country ever had their visa extended or given FREE land because their home country was hit by a disaster? I don't think so.
Don't see why they don't go home to help. Give them a free ticket home and pack their bags with aid to help others. If the Haitians in American are not lining up to go home to help their own people, then I don't know what to say, but extending their visa is dumb. Not as dumb as giving them free land, but it's dumb.
