Haiti to become American Territory

Haiti to become American Territory

Congress passed on November 3, 2006 and President Bush signed public law 42-576, introduced by Senator Hillary Clinton that will make Haiti a Territory of the United States as of July 1, 2009.

As a Territory, all Haitians will become US citizens. Haiti will have the same status as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the American Somalia Islands in the Pacific. Alaska and Hawaii were territories before becoming the 49th and 50th states.

Territories are different from states in that they do not have a Senator in Congress and can not vote in presidential elections. These citizens do not pay federal income taxes, but are taxed within the territory. The will however pay Social Security taxes and be cover by Social Security benefits. Most benefits that American citizens living within the fifty states now enjoy, will also be granted to the citizens of the territory. Food stamps, welfare, aid to families with dependent children, and other US government entitlements will be available to all Haitians eligible after 2009 when Haiti becomes a territory.

A State Department spokeswoman would not confirm the rumor that this action was taken to offset the influence that Cuba may have in the area after the death of Fidel Castro. She would only say that
this had been on the priority burner of the State Department for several years. The DEA has lobbied for years for this move so that more effective anti-drug operation can be run in Haiti.

After this legislation becomes effective in 2009 Haitians will no longer need a visa or a passport to travel to the States. They can go and come as they please just as the Puerto Ricans do now. The Department of Homeland
Security will establish offices in Haiti to check those entering Haiti; so that once in Haiti, it will be the same as already cleared Customs and Immigrations into the USA.

In preparation for this change the American government will start in 2008 to establishing federal offices in Port au Prince to make ready for these changes.

The government of Florida has highly endorsed this new law and has been a supporter from its beginning. Florida maintains that the influx of Boat People will be eliminated with the increase in the standard of living of Haitians at home. Also, there will not be a need for boats after the Haitians can readily fly due to not having
to wait for a visa.

If this is true, then I think it's a good move. Haiti is so yucky because of all the poverty there. I'm sure it'll be better when it becomes US territory. Now I wish I was Haitian

This is completely false. How do you tell?

Look at the number of the law; it says Public Law 42-576. This is completely inaccurate since public laws are denoted by two sets of numbers separated by a hyphen. The first set of numbers indicates the Congress that passed this law and the second set of numbers indicates the chronological number of the law passed by this Congress. For example, say the DREAM Act is the first law passed by the next Congress. The number would be P.L. 111-01. 111 indicates the 111th Congress and the 01 indicates that this is the first law passed by the 111th Congress.

If this story were true, it would mean that this law is the 576th law passed by th 42nd Congress. The 42nd Congress held office during the early 1820s, when the U.S. didn't even have a total of 50 states much less any territories.

Also consider the date, November 3, 2006. So let me get this straight. One day before the November 4 midterm elections, Congress passes this highly controversial law in the wake of the 2006 immigration debate. Yeah right.
