If their "poverty line" is like $2/day, I wonder what sending 60,000 people who hypothetically have been making something closer to $7/hr for 9 years would do to their economy.... Especially given that the people capable of fleeing are likely the ones with the money in the first place.
>implying there's no living expenses in the US >implying those people could get those same paying jobs they have in the US in Haiti as well >implying those same people working in the US aren't already sending money to their families who aren't able to find work and are living below the poverty line, likely already with the money they're getting from people in the US
I'm not implying anything. You're the one suggesting that taking 60,000 of the most qualified individuals off an island has had no impact on their economy and that their return wouldn't have a significant net positive for the nation.
And you're implying that the 60k here are the best 60k that Haiti has to offer without any sort of proof.
You're also implying that if you take people who make x/hr and put them somewhere else, they'll magically make x/hr as well and all will be well. That's not how jobs work.
So you think the nation wouldn't benefit from the return of these able-bodied individuals and whatever income they MAY have set aside? Aren't you a socialist? Because this sounds like a perfect case of "for the good of society". How many lives will be saved in the next 10 years by the influx of income and energy? Imagine what 60,000 people... let's say even 10,000 people could do towards repairing that infrastructure.
