Blame whoever you want this is actually SOP

it comes from the movement of refugee populations...

And I am betting UNHCR...

Oh and one more thing.. ANY foreign passport will get you out

[virgogal]

3. Why?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

4. I'm not sure what you expect them to do.

They can't just let everybody into the airport.

5. Yes - I think you needed a passport before too...

Or at least some form of Goverment ID

6. Fugee is now an official status

By Allah and sweet Christ...

[HeresyLives]

7. Other nationalities go thru, but not Haitians apparently.

Haitians want to leave...and who can blame them...but otherwise they'd have mobs at the airport, and it's crowded enough already.

Last I heard some fool had announced on the radio that Canada was handing out visas to anybody that wanted one, they aren't, but a huge crowd was gathering at the Canadian embassy. This is dangerous.
