After the earthquake that devastated Haiti, France has suspended for six months the expulsion of undocumented Haitians. A decision which does honor to France. As Stephane Guillon said in his column of January 20 on France Inter, "Oh he can be generous Eric Besson! That said, he happily took this decision, you can imagine the atmosphere in Port-au-Prince if among the broom humanitarian aircraft from around the world, a French plane, filled with undocumented Haitians had presented! "We've all seen the TV, throat, images of the disaster. It will take years to this small country to recover from this terrible ordeal. Now what will happen in 6 months? The manhunt (the wife and child too) flare in France because Hortefeux, Minister of the Interior, establishes quotas for the year and that the police will have to go into overdrive to catch up.

is remembered in Guadeloupe, which has a large Haitian community, the small Jephthah which no one knows if he survived the earthquake, in 2008, his deportation was outrage. Born on French soil and having always lived, Jephthah was 5 years old when he was arrested with his father in September, the day before classes begin. His father, Haitian illegal immigrants had taken him to buy her a new pair of shoes on the occasion of its third school year. He has just one identity checks the father and son would be expelled on the day of their arrest to Port-au-Prince, without even a change of clothes. They were abandoned to their fate after the passage of the first two hurricanes and deadly as Hurricane Hanna threatened. We, French citizens do not want to be involved in this kind of infamy.
The most basic human rights that require us to cease permanently to return Haitians to our soil, and therefore we regularize them. It is the sense the open letter (1) addressed to Immigration Minister by several Haitian organizations, supported by the League of Human Rights Guadeloupe, the collective of Overseas Migrants ( MOM together 13 NGOs including Catholic Relief Services, Cimade, Medecins du Monde), etc..
Some would argue that France is already hit by high unemployment rates and to paraphrase a famous socialist does not purport to accommodate all the misery of the world. It is good to remind them that Haitians in question are already on our soil, and their undocumented status that many employers hire them illegally, cheaply, thereby disadvantaging a worker in a regular situation whether French or foreign. Everyone has to gain except the rogue bosses who can no longer exploit them at will but must hire workers a decent wage and respect their rights.
can not remember enough the role Haiti played in the struggle for the abolition of slavery, and thus for humanity. Can not remember enough wealth that France has drawn from this small country called the pearl of the Antilles, its richest colony. After making him suffer the torments of slavery, she left battered after a particularly destructive war, and as if that were not enough, imposed a massive debt (the equivalent today billion euros) in compensation for slavery after independence! Yes, we all owe a debt to Haiti.
Then demand the regularization of undocumented Haitians!
