Haiti and Paraguay.

Haiti suffered a disasterous earthquake, forcing many people of that poverty-stricken third world country to live in tent cities. America's reaction has been that we have sent numerous wealthy people from my small town community and many other small town communities to visit the Haitians in their tent cities in their impoverished third world country, and pray with them, and encourage them to work harder within their tent cities in their impoverished third world country, and give them lectures on Christianity. "May you prosper," we tell the Haitians.
I visited Haiti in 1970. I found the Haitians to be friendly people, eager to talk with an American visitor.
Giving the Haitians lectures on Christianity and telling them "May you prosper" does not seem like enough to me. What America should do is to present the people of Haiti with a treaty providing that, when the treaty is ratified, Haiti will be a member of The United States. That would help end poverty in Haiti, and would make The United States have a stronger military and a stronger economy.
In a previous blog, I had stated--which I restate here--that America should present the people of Paraguay with a treaty providing that, when the treaty is ratified, Paraguay will be a member of The United States. Paraguay is a third-world South American country the size of Texas, with a climate like Texas has, and with the approximate equal population with Kentucky.
