    I sincerely believe that other countries do in fact oppose Haiti for not only because of their conditions that they are continuously facing at the moment but because of their successful past. Many countries, such as the U.S, unquestioningly believe that “Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere”. The United States seems to often hinder, rather than help Haiti deal with its many challenges. According to an article entitled “A Pact with the Devil? The United States and the Fate of Modern Haiti” the author states “while the first 100 or so years of Haitian history was marred by political isolation and economic embargoes that devastated the nation's attempts to establish and stabilize an independent republic, the next 100 years became,

    If a group of immigrants has the support or a good reaction from the federal government, the better it is for them to settle down in the United States. For Haitians, it was extremely hard for them to settle down without the help of the federal government. In the book, Miami Now! Chapter 4, “The Refugees Nobody Wants: Haitians in Miami”, states, “As the number of Haitians in Miami continued to grow, local government became increasingly concerned about their impact on public services. A 1978 Dade County task force on Haitians called the federal government to grant Haitians refugee status, which would trigger federal benefits for services provided to them” (Stepick III 63).
