The truth is that, aside from the casualties, the country is not that much worse off than before the earthquake. The Haitians know this more than we do and aren't going to let an opportunity like this go by for opportunities to relieve themselves of their over population, which is their basic problem. And their sympathizers in the industrialized world aren't going to either. We will suffer for it if we are too soft headed about it.
We can help them with the casualties and obvious problems directly accountable to the earthquake, but should be very careful about anything beyond that and especially immigration. Increased immigration from Haiti should not be a part of aid to Haiti from anyone. Their neighbors on the same island are stepping up policing against illegals, why should we be any different?
