Deportation back to Haiti is not the answer right now. I am not saying that intending migrants who are in illegal status shouldn`t be deported. But Haiti is too dangerous. Our own diplomats cannot leave our compound in Port-au-Prince without armed guard. Deportation in the short term is not going to make Haiti more stable. In fact, it`s going to make it worse.
Daniel Foote discusses the dangers of deporting individuals back to Haiti given the current instability and violence.

I will not be associated with the United States inhumane counterproductive decision to deport thousands of Haitian refugees.
I pledge to you to lead a productive, high-morale embassy working for the American people.
