A faithful reader: “Derb–I know your post about Mexican immigrants vs.
Haitian refugees engages a little reductio ad absurdum but there is one
reason I can think of to treat the groups differently: public health. Haiti
is the only Caribbean nation where malaria is found. In fact, the Red Cross
will not accept a donation of blood from you if you’ve even *been* to Haiti
in the last five years.”
So the hypothesis here is that a Haitian illeg… sorry, sorry,
undocumented worker is likely to be a public health risk?
Wouldn’t that be “profiling”?
Don’t you sometimes feel the urge to just give up trying to follow
public-policy debates?
