HAITI JAILS RELIGIOUS GROUP FOR TAKING KIDS WITHOUT PAPERS

I am so thankful that Haiti has cracked down on people taking kids out of Haiti through the back door. Ten Americans were arrested on the border of Santo Domingo in a bus with 33 young Haitians ranging from the age of 2 months to 12 years. In their pockets were flyer's of a house with a swimming pool and promises of a life in the US.

They said there was an orphanage in Santo Domingo that they were taking them to when they had only rented hotel rooms.The religious organization was a part of the Southern Baptist Convention. The group said they had permission from a pastor , but the pastor is in the United States.

There are new guidelines in Haiti and it might take up to two years before all the children are put in a registry. This is to prevent child trafficking . And to find some of the kid's parents. The parents thought that their kids were going to a boarding school. One of the kids was crying and said that she was not an orphan.
Are there any people of color in Idaho ?

I hope that the UN will do a background investigation on these people and the Homeland Security will also. I don't believe they will let them go until they do a complete investigation. Some reports said that they would be made an example of.
