There is a difference between the events, which hit both sides to some degree, and the damage from events. The Dominican Republic gets regular earthquakes as well, but has the money and government to require better building construction, inspections etc. but Haiti doesn’t. Same with gangs…a functional government will keep gangs to a minimum, but in areas with very weak, corrupt governments, gang violence increases.

Problem is that it’s a border city, which means that it is prone to organized crime related activities, some which includes violence and if you don’t look like a white American, you may be subject to kidnappings. There is a growing community of Americans that live in Tijuana but work in San Diego so they cross the border because it’s cheaper to live there and get other less expensive services like medical care. So it all depends on the area, some areas, areas like the ones where Americans are living are gentrified and as a result more expensive (thus not affordable to migrants seeking US entrance).

In regard to European Colonialism and the creation of the First World/Third World distinction, the story of India under Britis occupation is informative: India actually had the world's largest economy (over 25% of global GDP) in the early 18th Century prior to British occupation, deindustrialization and looting of India's resources. Research published by Columbia UP in 2018 showed that the British stole about US45 Trillion from India from 1757-1938 (see Prof. Jason Hickel's article online about how modern Britain was built with loot from India). Britain's Industrial Revolution and much Western development was financed by 'loot' (Hindi for plunder) from India. India's world leading textile industry was systematically eliminated by the Brits so that Britain's new industrial cotton industry [copying Indian techniques and styles - e.g. 'Paisley'] could develop as 19th Century historians H.H. Wilson and Friedrich List both noted. This included tariff barriers, making India a monopolized Captive Market for British goods and breaking weavers fingers and even cutting off thumbs of the famed Dhaka Muslin weavers. Governor General Bentinck wrote that the plains of India are bleached with the bones of her weavers. India had produced the best steel in the world (Wootz) as recognized by English experts in the 1790s - and Sheffield copied its methods. French and British colonial observers noted that 18th Century India made cannon and muskets as good as any in Europe but arms production was eliminated. The oldest seaworthy ship in the Royal Navy HMS Trincomalee was built by an Indian Co. in 1817 but British competitors stopped shipbuilding in India. When 19th Century Indian engineers showed that they could design and build locomotives, this was of course suppressed. It was not until the 1914-18 Great War in Europe that India was allowed to develop some industrial capacity - then only due to Britain's emergency needs. They also killed tens of millions of the poorest in about 3 dozen famines created by Britain stealing India's foodgrains for British profit and Food Security. Robert Clive returned from Bengal with his 'loot' as the richest non-monarch in Europe and his East India Co. mafia became the super-rich new elite known as 'nobs' (from 'nabobs') whilst up to 1/3 of the population of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (up to 10 million) died in the 1770 Great Bengal Famine created by their rapacity - as predicted by Richard Becher (a relative of novelist William Thackeray). This led to Europe's first Credit Crunch in 1772 when dozens of banks collapsed in days as Indian loot financing Western development dried up for a while. The EIC started peddling Indian opium to China from 1770 (kidnapping children to work on opium plantations etc.) which brought Britain 1/7 of its export revenues for 140 years. In 1877 Cornelius Walford showed that there were 30 famines in British-occupied India in just 120 years compared to 17 famines in all of India in the previous 2,000 years. This was because native Hindu and Indianized Muslim rulers acted to prevent and alleviate famines. The British created them with their profiteering, hoarding and exporting for Britain's profit and Food Security [it was Industrial Britain that did not grow enough food to feed itself - until after 1945 - India as a whole always did]. The Disraeli regime even set up Death Camps for victims of the 1877 manmade famine in Madras Province - giving famine victims less starvation rations for hard labour than given in Buchenwald - killing 94% of inmates. 5-7 million died whilst record amounts of Indian grain exports lowered prices in Britain and the West. Famine survivors were coerced into the new slavery of indentured labour in the Caribbean etc. Disraeli organized the biggest feast in human history, the 1877 Delhi Durbar, to celebrate Vicky being named Empress of India whilst 100,000 a week died in South India. In 1901 The Lancet estimated conservatively from the census that 19 million had died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to British policies. In 1936 George Orwell wrote in Road to Wigan Pier that 100 million Indians must be forced to the edge of starvation so that the British can live in comfort. As late as 1942-3, Hindu-hating White Supremacist Winston Churchill was responsible for killing millions in Bengal due to Nazi-like Collective Punishment of Bengal and - after British cover-ups were blown by the press in 1943, preventing Food Aid from other countries reaching Bengal, diverting US, Canadian and Australian grain to the UK. As ever, there were surplus food stocks in India as a whole but the Brits ensured they didn't get to Bengal. Even the Nazis allowed Red Cross Food Aid to Greek Famine victims in 1941. Many Westerners still believe the British propaganda myths, first concocted by James Mill (father of J.S. Mill) who was 2nd in Command of the EIC - that India was a Land of Eternal Poverty and Famine and the cause of this was Hinduism which had supposedly remained unchanged for 3,000 years. In truth, India had been famed for its wealth prior to British looting. The Romans complained of the Silver Drain to India in return for Indian exports. Columbus told his sponsors that he was seeking a new route to the fabled wealth and riches of India. In 1616 English ambassador wrote that Delhi was the Treasury of the World. In fact it was the economic Silver Drain to India due to India's successful exports that prompted the British Conquest - taking advantage of the power vacuum that arose as the Hindu Marathas had defeated the Mughals in battle - but maintained a figurehead Mughal emperor.

Youve never seen true poverty and hopelessness. Poverty absolutely causes crime. No one starves to death willingly. Youll steal long before your kids starve to death. Highest crime areas are always in the most poverty ridden areas. From the projects, to the trailor parks. When decent paying factories and jobs move out of a city crime goes up, with out fail. There have been plenty of cities and towns in which the factories moved out/closed down and then crime went up. The rust belt is a real thing. And when your whole gold reserves gets stolen, your country has to pay France for over 100 years, no one will trade with you, you arent going to have a good time fiscally as a country, more desperate a country gets the more likely you are to end up with a dictator. I can point you to several examples of that as well. Corruption rises, things get worse. Military takes over, things get worse. Its a cycle.

Giving primitive tribes control over Western style government, of which those tribes don't have the same ideals to successfully run that form of government. After all...running a tribe is different than running an entire country with multiple peoples from different other cultures and languages. It took well over 1,000 years for Western Europe to be as it is today after Rome fell (due to the ''bringing of ''civilization'' to various areas of Europe).

Every country has it moment, to shine. One day Haiti will rise up out of the mud and plant flowers into the hearts of each other. One day, a child will be born and grow to lead the country out of this mud. It will happen...one sunny moment in time🌸🌳🌱🌳🌸

Why do you think the other side of the island is just fine? Why do you think the Dominican Republic stays away from Haiti? Wouldn't it be natural to have 1 government for the whole island? Maybe the problem of Haiti is the Haitians.

Haiti would be flooded with American manufaturers if not for their massive corruption. Corruption is an indefinable cost to business since the $1000 bribe today can easily be a $10,000 bribe tomorrow and a $100,000 bribe next week. Haiti's biggest problem is Haiti.

In order to know why Haití and Dominican República are so diferent you need to study the history of both countries, many documentaries misinform...

Every country in this region born out of adversity and survived , Haiti choose a destructive path of always in fighting and greed. Obviously whatever they achieved in the past did not help them to establish a winning framework. No leadership excellence, no loyalty, and sadly no hope. That nation is dead and only God can rescue it. i pray often to God to free Haiti from the clutches of evil so possibly we might see miracles of deliverance for Haiti happen forthwith.

I know a man from Senegal and he opened my eyes about something I never even considered. He told me, 15 years ago, that a large amount of Africans (from former colonies) wish they were still under European control. I never understood this and thought he was mad and anti patriot. The older I get, the more I understand what he was saying, the only former colonies that have done well after the fact are US and Canada. Something's up and I don't know what it is.

It was always like this. For example, when the roman empire fell, the british natives needed centuries to get back to the level of civilization they had under roman rule. With Canada and USA, you are talking about cases in which native population was very low.

I didnt know that much about Haiti, I learned many interesting n fascinating things. I Pray Haiti will have a better future.
