The Republic of Haiti has a unique and vibrant culture. It was once hailed as the "Pearl of the Antilles" for being the wealthiest colony in the world.

Preserving the environment proved helpful for the people of Dominican, and is something that Haiti should mimic, as well as attempting to find new exports such as

Imagine yourself as a businessperson on a trip to the island of Hispaniola to check on how production is faring. You land in Santo Domingo to transfer to a short commuter flight to Port-au-Prince. During the flight, you gaze outside your window to admire the breathtaking view of the Sierra de Baoruco, with its luscious forests. As the plane approaches the Haiti-Dominican Republic border, you notice that the land has been completely denuded of trees directly on the other side of the border, creating a clear demarcation between Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Haiti is on the island of Hispaniola which it imparts to the Dominican Republic. Haiti’s political system is not just unstable, but it is also hazardous. When Haiti became independent there has been many distractions. Most of the population of Haiti are labor workers that work day and night. Haiti is one of the most poorest countries.

With all my honesty and humanity, I even support illegal immigration but as an educated, civilized, and an open-minded person, I understand why might someone NOT support illegal immigration, and I don't blame this way of thinking.

Most people who don't support illegal immigration use the carribean as their great example, why? Because well, one they don't pay taxes, two we know nothing about them, and three they could honestly be criminals escaping and that is of course expected to come from any country in the world not just poor countries.
