Double Standards

Double standards

I could not help my contempt for the way America treats Haitian refugees, these people are coming to the U.S to escape the same type of hardships that the Cubans are facing under Castro’s regime. Growing up in the U.S. especially in Miami I’ve noticed the bias against the Haitians, it’s clear to me that Haitians are like the unwanted people in Miami. I say this not only how they are treated by other people but also by the immigration system especially the wet foot dry foot rule, we have read or seen how majority if not all Cubans that enter the U.S. shores are given asylum and rarely do they get detained by the INS, more often than not they are released to their relatives and does not have to worry about anymore interference from the INS ever. The part this I don’t understand and still struggling with is if Cuba is under an embargo by the U.S, how come then they are given free entrance to the America? This question is one that I can never receive an answer to by anyone. Cuba is a communistic country which will not change their ways for several years, they don’t have any trade agreement with the United States therefore America has really no interest in Cuba.

Haitians are not really welcome here for the most part, I feel like even if a Haitian refugee is caught on dry land and a Cuban were caught together and were facing the same persecution back in their own homelands I truly believe they would still deport the Haitian refugee and give asylum to the Cuban , this is not fair at all, I believe both countries are going through some of the same financial strains it’s well documented that Haiti is one of the poorest if not the poorest country in the world. In Haiti it is so bad that you will find more uneducated people than educated ones, it is the total opposite in Cuba, Cubans have it better than the Haitians if there were ever any country that would be worthy of given a free pass to enter the U.S it would have to be the Haitians. Financially Haiti is the poorest country in the civilized world and yet they are still not permitted entry to the U.S. I’m not sure why that is the only reason I can think of is because they happen to be a black country who happens to have defeated Napoleon’s powerful army back in May 18, 1804 and since then the country and the people is paying for that freedom, and this defeat was almost like a slap in the face to America who was one of Napoleon’s Allies. After the war was over and the country became liberated from its oppressors the French, America placed a sanction on Haiti to pay restoration for every slave that died because of the revolution against Napoleon. Even to present day this debt has yet to be not paid in full nor will this un-sanction and criminal debt will ever be paid, because of this debt Haiti will never recover from its financial ruin and it not in favor with the U.S.

Cuba on the other hand is a communist country, where they are not in such financial strains as Haiti, but yet gain entry easily into the U.S... I may be bias in my opinion but the facts are anyone can check the comparison between the two countries and I am sure they would arrive to the same conclusion I’ve come up with and if not one hundred percent agreement but I would say somewhere in the neighborhood of the high ninety percentile. The only thing I want to see is everyone given fair chance and not being judged for where an individual is from but for their situation on an individual basis.
