Haiti Earthquake: US Ships Blockade Coast to Thwart Exodus to America
A US aircraft carrier is spearheading a blockade of Haiti's waters as
America prepares for a mass sea exodus of Haitians with thousands fleeing
the devastated capital of Port-au-Prince.

US officials have drawn up emergency plans to cope with a mass migration
crisis and have cleared spaces in detention or reception centres,
including the Navy base at Cuba's Guantanamo Bay.
The unprecedented air, land and sea operation, dubbed "Vigilant Sentry",
was launched as a senior US official compared Haiti's destruction to the
aftermath of nuclear warfare.
"It is the same as if an atomic bomb had been exploded," said Kenneth
Merten, America's ambassador to Port-au-Prince, as officials estimated the
numbers of those killed by last weeks earthquake to over 200,000.
As well as providing emergency supplies and medical aid, the USS Carl
Vinson, along with a ring of other navy and coast guard vessels, is acting
as a deterrent to Haitians who might be driven to make the 681 mile sea
crossing to Miami.
"The goal is to interdict them at sea and repatriate them," said the US
Coast Guard Commander Christopher O'Neil.
Raymond Joseph, Haiti's ambassador to Washington, recorded a public
information message in Creole warning his countrymen not to "rush on boats
to leave the country".
"If you think you will reach the US and all the doors will be wide open to
you, that's not at all the case," he said.
"They will intercept you right on the water and send you back home where
you came from."
In response to America's closed door, Abdoulaye Wade, Senegal's President,
has offered Haitian descendants of African slaves the chance to resettle
in "the land of their ancestors" and offered them plots of land.
