Incoming Haitian Invasion Into Florida? DeSantis Needs To Be Prepared.

You're right. Because unlike many here I've had genuine real world experience with a lot of groups from different countries. Not just watching them through the lens of the media.

You have to understand, I had to deal with these groups for 7 years. While all groups had their good and bad, Haitians were by far the worse. Does that mean every Haitian was rude, disrespectful and ungrateful? Of course not. But my experience with Haitians as a whole and their culture was absolutely very negative.

You can call me anything you want, but you can't discount my experience. So let's try to have a genuine discussion about it. The Haitians I had to deal with never even tried to learn English, even a word, for the most part. I had to try to use Google translator to figure out what they were saying. They weren't patient at all, even though I was the one trying to help them. They were rude and aggressive, sometimes physically. Several of the Haitian men were so aggressive simply out of impatience that they had to be either fired or banned from the offices without Security present. I'm a guy so I wasn't intimidated but being in HR of course we had several women, some quite small and petite who could easily be intimidated.

Heck the Haitians don't even respect each other. I routinely saw Haitians trying to steal paper paychecks from other Haitians. I saw some Haitians trying to bully other Haitians into giving them their complimentary tickets so they could sell them for money (which of course is absolutely against Company policy). Many were fired due to attendance and just in general being unreliable.

We did not have anywhere near these same issues with Mexicans, Cubans, Venezuelans and Colombians. Of course each group had isolated incidents but no one where near that of the Haitians. Heck one time I even had a Haitian tell me "you better start learning our language boy, we're taking over" to which I could barely contain my laughter. But still, it showed the disrespect.

You all act about adding to the community or helping the country, I never saw that. The Haitians always stayed to themselves and their enclaves. I never saw them volunteering their time for charities or doing things to make their communities better. As for helping the country, sure as heck they didn't economically. Like many immigrant groups all their money went back to Haiti so it almost immediately left the U.S. economy. How does that help the U.S.?

I also remember how all of the Haitians would take their Vacation each year all at once (though of course not at the same time). So if they had 3 weeks of Vacation they took it all at once. Did they ever spend that money in the U.S.? Of course not, they went back to Haiti for 3 weeks. It never even occurred to them that since they are in the U.S. maybe it would be nice to help the U.S. economy and explore some of the great areas this country has to offer. Nope they all went back to Haiti just to live in third world condition. I mean it's their time off, seems like a pretty miserable way to spend it to me, but so be it. Heck you would think, in the very least, they would maybe fly family up to Florida to go to the theme parks or to just go to another country and be out of the third world for a few weeks. To me that would be far more valuable for their family. It just always dumbfounded me that they had no interest in exploring the U.S. at all. But again, no economy benefit for the U.S.

Were there a few good Haitians, of course. Were there some that were grateful, yes. But they were the minority, which was sad. And it wasn't just me who had a negative experience. When my HR department went to a separate centralized environment in 2017, we all were relieved and happy. We were ecstatic when it was announced that live in person paychecks were no longer offered and it was Direct Deposit or delivery via U.S. mail.

So was my entire department racist? Was my entire department a bunch of horrible people? Because that's what you'll have to say. Of course you are wrong but you'll never admit that.

The point being is, for the vast majority of Haitians, there was never any true gratitude for saving them from their Third World Lifestyle. There was no love for the U.S. The U.S. was simply economic opportunity for them. If England offered a better economy opportunity they would be gone in a week. They never even tried to even remotely assimilate into U.S. culture, whether that be by learning more English, learning U.S. customs, celebrating U.S. holidays, watching U.S. sports, traveling to U.S. cities, anything. They are a rude and ungrateful people for the most part. They are an incredibly damaged culture which of course is probably a big reason why their own country is in such terrible shape. They don't even respect other Haitians never mind people from other countries. They did not add to the U.S., they took away from it.

So sure maybe I'm jaded, maybe I'm being too hard, too mean. But if there's one group I don't want invading Florida again. If there's one group I don't want the state to have to support again. If there's one group, it's Haitians. And I think I have a ton of valid reasons to feel that way. But please, share your opinion.

 

Sorry you can't deal with someone who had to interact with Haitians regularly for almost 7 years and has real experience instead of just what you see on TV.

 

Then what is so disturbing to you about what I said. Again this is personal experience over years. I even said I know it's not all Haitians but that my interaction with the majority of them were negative and that my entire department largely had this experience. So what do you say about that? Is the entire department I worked in racist to you? I even said there were some that were okay but that a lot never embraced being in the U.S. There were here for economic opportunities and to send money back to Haiti, nothing more.
