Missions International of America<\/a>. \u201cWhen the president says to open the borders and everyone should, that sends a message for everyone to come in…If you have been to the Santa Porta Bridge which has bad housing, dirty water, etc. The Haitians weren\u2019t surprised, it’s just the Americans were surprised.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to the ongoing migrant crisis, mistakes are bound to be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018I don\u2019t think we should have open borders,\u201d said Dr. Nielsen. \u201cI think it is a mistake to have no vaccination, it’s crazy. I\u2019m not worried about COVID, it’s psoriasis. I think it is a mistake for the president to say come on in. I think it is messed up to let everyone else in but not the Haitians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mistreatment of Haitian migrants is nothing new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have to remember Haiti was the first black republic under Napoleon,\u201d said Dr. Nielsen. \u201cThey were the largest export in sugars and other goods which Europe benefited from. The Haitians caused Napoleon to lose a lot of military power. You would think they would get credit for that, but they don\u2019t.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many faith organizations have denounced the treatment of Haitian migrants and have accused the federal government of targeting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018The United States has been targeting Haiti for 100 years, people have got to read their history,\u2019\u2019 said Dr. Nielsen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his experience of humanitarian work in Haiti, Dr. Nielsen is not surprised by the wave of Haitians trying to enter the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018I think anyone who has a chance to come to America would be stupid not to take it,\u2019\u2019 said Dr. Nielsen. \u2018\u2019My problem is I think people should come here legally. I think people should be coming on the basis of their merit because they\u2019re getting good grades or because they\u2019re studying in fields that we need.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From a medical standpoint, it measures should have been taken when they first encountered the migrants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018They should be doing a TB skin test, and a COVID test, then a decent physical, and then observing people practically for a quarantine period of 10 days to make sure they don\u2019t get out with COVID,\u2019\u2019 said Dr. Nielsen. \u2018\u2018I hope the whole time they\u2019re doing that, they should be feeding those people and hydrating them, but unfortunately, our border facilities aren\u2019t capable of processing 200,000 people a month.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For future scenarios the government should consider regarding Texas, there is a plan for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018Build a wall. It’s basically what Obama said yesterday. Obama said it’s unsustainable; he basically said \u2018We can\u2019t do this. That is, there\u2019s no solution except stop illegal immigration and make them come through legally.\u2019\u2019\u2019 said Dr. Nielsen. \u2018\u2018The other opportunity they would really have would be to build massive hospitals surrounded by razor wire, that would basically be a combination of a prison and a hospital and do that 14-day thing for everybody no matter how many people come through…The solution is to build a system where it doesn\u2019t allow a lot of people to come in.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With his experience in Haiti, Dr. Nielsen expects more migrants to show up at America\u2019s border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2019All you have to do is look at the map, it’s geometrically increasing. We had 20,000, now 40,000 in Mexico and 60,000 in Panama. There\u2019s about 40,000 mobilizing in Brazil. It\u2019s a geometric progression by definition, they just keep coming across the border,\u2019\u2019 said Dr. Nielsen. \u2018\u2018The definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome; this is insanity.\u2019\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
