Mr. Anonymous,
If all they wanted was truly to "keep Haitians in Haiti", then how do you explain this phenomenon:"the Miami rice deal" against the haitian rice from the Artibonite region.
I do not know if you are aware of that story.
But roughly here is how the scheme went.
Haitian officials "got bribed" by their US counterparts to open the Haitian market to sell the US rice "du riz Miami" at BELOW MARKET PRICE.
Of course, below market price means:
Undermining our own haitian rice producers.
What happened?
Haitians, of course, start buying the cheaper "du riz Miami", then, after a couple of years, the rice producers of the Artibonite region went bankrupt.
Because they could not compete with the cheaper and better packaged "du riz Miami".
Hence there is ONLY one rice on the haitian market, the "du riz Miami".
And guess what, the folks who only want Haitians to stay home did, they now jacked up their own price.
Result: No more competition, the "du riz Miami" producers own our haitian market.
People HAVE TO EAT no matter what. Now they are compelled to buy the "du riz Miami" which has become twice more expensive than the haitian rice used to be.
Result: Dependency on Americans to feed ourselves and higher cost of living (la vie chere).
Sir, if you are willing to bribe people that's because you want/need/crave something.
Do not you think that they want the Haitian market?
That Haiti is worth some thing to them.
Of course, these course of actions may not be enslaving Haitians physically, but they surely are financially.
Patriotically
