Calling Haiti Right

If Haiti was not how Trump reputedly characterized it, why have so many Haitians fled it? When Haiti rebelled against France starting in 1791, they killed every French white male and most white French women and children there. Haiti has been impoverished and disease-ridden ever since. How many people have you heard talking about wanting to take a tropical vacation to Port-Au-Prince? Haiti has the highest incidence of AIDS in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti has the highest infant mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti has the lowest life expectancy in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti has the lowest literacy rate in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti means "Hades"- that is Hell.
