Over this past weekend, boatload of Haitian Migrants/Refugees had dominated the international news simultaneously, raising the fear that the socio and political conditions of Haiti is back to previous decades despite recent injections of international assistance to the Haitian government to rebuild the homeland due to the Haiti-quake devastation of January 12, 2010.

Five years later, after the country faced its environmental crisis with certain dignity and some resilience, the country which showed some rare expectation to end its chronic crisis whose symptom is manifested by eruption of boat people from the caribbean basin. heading to the Bahamas Islands or the Straights of the Florida Peninsula did not materialized, painted by bloggers as a HOUSE IN FIRE in the 1990's, the country's tragedy of refugees had resurfaced in 2015 prompting international observers to wonder what has really happened to the billions of dollars obligated to Haiti. For Jean-Robert Lafortune, a Haitian Refugee Advocate for almost two decades, the best way way to monitor the whether Haiti is doing good or not, one must pay attention to the quantity of refugee and migrant boats taking to the sea heading to the Bahamas or Florida. As the country is facing a critical rarity of dollars to match with the gourde so goes the intense misery for the population.

Last year, the Haitian American Grassroots Coalition (HAGC) ended its policy of non collaboration to one of collaboration with the U.S Coast Guard with the hope of turning the tide against the smugglers dealing in human trafficking. This was an informal agreement that did not end well among the concerned parties to engage in a public relations campaign at the international levels.

With the new draconian measures being placed on migrants already settled in the Bahamas, Haitians are still eyeing this country as a possibility to reside. The Bahamas is a placed that is governed by conservative members of the society. As a result, they do not intend to improve the conditions in which migrants live. In the Bahamas, to escape immigration authorities and their inspection, many Haitians have been forced to maroon themselves in abandoned areas not fit for human habitation and survivals. With many not having identity papers, they are living in abject conditions and subject to exploitation by the natives.

Further north in Florida, in the past few years, government policy to incarcerate newly arrived migrants continued ro dominate the immigration conversation. After lenghty period of incarceration, the US is still deporting migrants at a speedy rate. The immigration problem is rarely being spoke about in Haiti in order to reduce the temptation one may have to undertake the fatal journey to a new land.

The Central government has not warned the population not to expose their lives going after dreams of making it big in a foreign country.
