I am not a fan of labeling groups of people … progressives, conservatives, liberals, etc. It is far more constructive to engage in discourse that references specific behaviors of people. We learn this as a basic parenting skill … to not tell a child they are a slob, but to instruct them to pick their toys up or clean their room. So let’s consider this issue in terms of behaviors that will help not only newly arrived Haitians, but those that have recently been admitted to our nation from anywhere. I agree that registration and identification cards are a sensible place to start. That helps them navigate very basic living needs such as getting medical services, jobs, credit, housing, etc. Many will also need assistance with learning how living in America works as they are coming to a first world country from a third world country. Learning English as quickly as possible will definitely make a positive difference in their lives and the lives of their families. Getting the best jobs they are qualified to perform as quickly as possible will also be a great benefit. Helping them create a resume that focuses more on skills they possess as opposed to verifiable work experience will also be helpful. Teaching them about how to complete a job application including W2’s, I9’s, etc. will make a positive difference. The focus really needs to be on becoming employed to get weekly pay in order to start their journey here as successfully as possible, especially if as the authors above state … “give them no tax-supported aid or welfare benefits”. The assistance they will need to “get started on the right foot” will be best accomplished by faith-based groups that should seek new arrivals out in order to help them with the basics. It certainly won’t be from most government agencies that excel at “making mountains out of mole hills”. (Recall experiences with any federal agency … or the BMV as evidence of this stark reality). Also recognize that the federal government has no structure in place to assist the newly arrived migrants beyond transporting them to localities all across America … to leave local populations the important task of helping these people get a good start. It is also these same, so-called federal leaders that have failed to update and improve America’s immigration system and policies. They have demonstrated repeatedly that the federal government is not the solution for orderly immigration, as well as a host of other functions. Please also be mindful that we are a nation of immigrants from all over the world. We have an enviable history of welcoming and helping peoples from all other countries, relative to most if not all other nations in the world. We can continue to welcome and help if citizens at the local level will come alongside our new neighbors to make a positive difference in their lives.
