  1. This will really put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

    There is no way the government can coordinate this disaster in 15 days, let alone 15 weeks or a year.

    Haiti has 11,000 NGOs in country. Let us say that eachhas a minimum of 2 foreigners…giving 22,000. This would require processing some 1500 per day for 15 days.

    And then we have thousands, and thousands of other foreigners doing a variety of things.

    Looks like another attempt by Martelly’s government to shoot itself in the foot with the International Community.

    What they are aiming at are the hard-working Philippine workers, in supermarkets.

    Martelly should remember that other nations might crack down on Haitians in their countries, as retaliation.

  2. I can recall endeavoring to get a driver licence and the problems therin. If I didn’t know the chief of circulation I would still be waiting.

  3. These are “expletive” idiot who have fallen into positions of power and have no ideas on how to manage and run a functioning organised state, nor have they ever prepared themselves for such a posibility

    see, I am trying to limit the profanity

    1. Eduj- Thanks a million. It is very appreciated. Can’t help but get a chuckle out of that…
