rfmcdonaldHans at Nissology PEI says what needs to be said
The depopulation of Haiti isn't in the cards, but as I've written at Demography Matters Haiti's economy depends hugely on remittances sent back to the homeland by the migrant diasporas in North America and elsewhere. A more open immigration policy in traditional receiving countries would certainly be beneficial for Haitians.
Following hurricanes, earthquakes, political unrest, more hurricanes, a cholera epidemic and more political unrest - all since 2010 - we now get reports that former thuggish dictator, robber-baron and full-time coward Baby Doc Duvalier has returned to his native land from luxurious exile in France.
[. . .]
Of course, I have previously offered a solution to Haiti's problems that involves revoking Haitian sovereignty and mass migration of Haitian refugees. Canada could take three million, America could take three million and France could take three million. I mean, France already hosted Baby Doc for 25 years or so. I bet it would be cheaper to have three million regular Haitians than that prick. It would also be a net gain in morality.
