What do we Haitians get for helping to Re-elect Barack Obama?

This is not scientific but I can safely say that more than eighty percent of Haitians who are eligible to vote in the US actually voted for Barack Obama this past election. People may have different reasons. Some Haitians voted for Obama because they believe that he is for poor people. Others think he is pro immigrant and wanted to thank him for the TPS he gave Haitians recently. Some Haitians also voted for Obama just because he is Black. That's OK too.

However, just like the other groups after voting for a candidate who wins an election, the Haitian community should expect something in return. We have issues within the Haitian Diaspora living in the US as well as back home in Haiti.

Mr. Barack Obama, the following is my wish list:

1: I would want for you to introduce a bill that will allow all immigrants who have been in the US since January 1, 2012 to become legal citizens of the United States.

2: Start working on having my country of Haiti to become sovereign nation once again. In that I mean to help put structures in the country so we can write our own destiny.

3: Help Haiti to combat Corruption and insecurity.

4: Facilitate the reintegration of the Haitian Diaspora in the political and social life of Haiti.

5: Help in the development of a Disaster Preparation plan that is helpful to the country.

6: Help decrease the effect of International Organizations in Haiti (NGO)

I could only think of those issues listed above.

I believe the Haitians population in the U. S can get together to help our own country, but the insecurity challenges everyone minds.

I agree for every illegal immigrants should be legalize in the US because because it will help the country's economy when everyone starts paying taxes.

Haitians people listen President Obama has enough in his plate to deal with, but we can ask him to put his hands to help Haiti not to rebuilt the country.

Remember many hands the burden is not

My point of view is that the president of USA is not a president of Haiti, I think president Obama has too much to solve for his country, why do we Haitian people has a President in lean on other president country.?we need to have a budget for our own country.
