Subject: leiderman fwd: "under the spreading mango tree, the hurricane
deportees arrive"
Per attached, and at the enlarged versions of
https://www.iom.int/sites/default/files/press_release/media/20191115-haiti-1.jpg
and
https://www.iom.int/sites/default/files/press_release/media/20191115-haiti-3.jpg
notice the irony of the scene, lines of deportees, sodas and foil
wrapped hoagies in hand, while above their heads, Haiti's bountiful
mangoes hang, plentiful and
unnoticed.
Note also in the text, the Haitian and United Nations black bean
counters offer token bus tickets to nowhere in particular, without
acknowledging that most of
these deportees likely know and have worked with each other, having
largely fled the
same neighborhoods in Abaco, etc. Then, why not resettle them together
for now in a kind
of "Lakou Bahamas" rather than scattering them across the barren
coastal plain?
As for the inhumane purge of Haitians, it may be that only an
international boycott of cruises to the islands will make the Bahamian
government think twice.
Again ironically, it won't be long before sea-level rise drives the
natives off-island,
too. Then who will take them in, transplant their flag and their
prejudices?
