“United States policy toward Haiti is a Holocaust of our time--and no one seems to care. This administration turns its back, this Congress ignores the issue, and the media could care less. Each month more than 1,000 Haitian babies die as a result of United States sanctions. Yesterday the bodies of two more Haitian children and two adults washed up on Florida's shore. Yesterday I received this memo seeking donations to bury HIV Haitian babies dying weekly in south Florida. President elect Clinton encouraged Haitians to seek refuge in the United States, then let scores drown at sea. President Clinton brought HIV infected Haitians into the United States contrary to our policy and law. President Clinton cut and ran from Port Au Prince Harbor leaving thugs in charge. President Clinton let every Haitian deadline pass. President Clinton now wants to impose tighter sanctions. Thousands more Haitian babies will die. The bodies of Haitian parents and children will wash upon my State's shores. Dead HIV babies to unburied and no one cares.”
