Can America Resist?

I heard the other day that any dollar now spent on the relief effort in Haiti will lessen the demand to evacuate the bulk of its population to the U.S. As I understand it, the nation of Haiti will need to be rebuilt from the ground up. Nothing is functioning - and nothing will be functioning for a long time to come. Can America resist the impulse to open its arms to endless waves of 'dishomed'?

The cynical side of me would say - and don't think POTUS is not considering it - let them come here; we'll provide them with life's necessities while we ready our shovels to the task of re-building their tropical paradise. They'll be forever grateful and vote Democrat. Imagine, a whole new constituency, to ensure our own continuing drift to the left; ironically, just to make sure that we will never be able to help or, depending on your political orientation, hinder anybody again should flocks of black swans suddenly drop from the skies as so much horse flesh anywhere in the world.
