the best I heard is that there are already a few hundred thousand illegal Haitians in America so that the government wants to do everything it can to keep more of them from coming...which they'll risk doing unless they see some chance of supporting themselves or getting a roof over their heads in Haiti.

I never knew the real reason why the Haitian people are so poor when the island nation is, or was, rich in resources. I do remember there was a successful slave revolt led by Touissant L'Overture (I think that's close)...in which the slaves actually defeated Napolean's army. But they remained insecure and fearful of further attacks until they agreed to buy their freedom from their masters...all of them Christians, by the way. The French took whatever money they could squeeze out and then the hard-wood forests and everything else of value...they denuded the island in return for allowing the people they had enslaved to go free,,,after they WON their freedom.

Is this what Christian jizya is like?
