Haiti is still struggling with the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake when over 300,000 Haitians lost their lives. In addition, over 700,000 Haitians are left homeless and currently living under tents scattered all over the Haitian capital.

The cholera epidemic that already took the lives of over 4,000 Haitians since last year, is still affecting many more.

There is an agreement between the Haitian government and the U.S. that allow for the United States to deport these people back to their country of origin. Under the September 1981 Agreement with Haiti, the United States is allowed to interdict Haitian boats and return prospective immigrants To Haiti.

How do you expect these deportees to survive?
