Congress passed on November 3, 2006 and President Bush signed public law 42-576, introduced by Senator Hillary Clinton that will make Haiti a Territory of the United States as of July 1, 2009.
As a Territory, all Haitians will become US citizens. Haiti will have the same status as Guam, Puerto Rico, and the American Somalia Islands in the Pacific. Alaska and Hawaii were territories before becoming the
49th and 50th states. Territories are different from states in that they do
not have a Senator in Congress and can not vote in presidential elections.
territory. The will however pay Social Security taxes
and be cover by Social Security benefits. Most benefits that American citizens living within the
fifty states now enjoy, will also be granted to the citizens of the territory.
Food stamps, welfare, aid to families with dependent children, and other US
government entitlements will be available to all Haitians eligible after 2009 when Haiti becomes a
territory.

More commentsThis is joke i dont think this is true,If it was true dont you think the news people would be all over this.stop and think about it
It's crazy because in a way i hope this story is true. My husband was deported to haiti 2yrs ago for crimes he commited as a teenager. He has been in the united states for over twenty years and they deported him without no questions as to how it would affect his children left in his absence. He is suffering tremendously and its tearing our family apart. Please obama pass this law so that we can have our family back!
I am a Haitian citizen living in Canada and a student. Honestly, if Haiti could become a US territory, I would be best for the Haitian ppl except for those selfish-corrupt politicians who are stealing the people's money. I would give it a full vote!
that should be happened since 1804 , i give a full vote to haiti to become an american teritorry .... that would be better for every haitians . give all pieces all the land that those oldes politicians ketp eating and got rich.... that``s a good news ...
i am happy to know that my hatain brothers and sisters are gonna be happy at last and the bahamas also make hatiain people suffer AMERICA THANK WE HATIANS REALLY APPRECIATE IT THANK ONCE AGAIN
ANY HAITIAN WHO'S NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT IS NOT HUMAN HAITI'' MOST BECOME AMERICAN TERRITORY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ,IF ANYONE NOT HAPPY WITH THAT TELL ME WHY AND A REAL REASON NO HAITIAN IN HAITI CAN LEAD THE COUNTRY AND THEY DON'T WANT ANY DIASPORA INTO POLITIC THERE WOW IT'S A MESS THAT AMERICA HAVE TO CLEAN IS ,MIAMI IS ONLY 570 MILES FROM HAITI COAST SO NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT I WANT IT HAPPEN WITHIN 90 DAYS FROM NOW.
I wonder why America can not take care of the American people before helping other countries ? There are so many American's that have lost their jobs and are being kicked out of their homes and have no insurance. How about our veterans that have fought and died, and came back home disabled they also need help. When and if America could take care of their own people then they should help others.
Well, I guess all those Haitians that commented 200+ days ago about not wanting to be part of the United States wished they were part of us after the earthquake. First, all those building would not have fallen if they were built to US construction standards. Second, most of them wuold have jobs and at least at minumum wage (alot better than the $20/year/person GDP they have now). And third, imagine the amount of relief they would be getting after the eartquack if they actually were part of the US.
Haiti should quickly become us US Territory, wherther they want it or not...
I think it would be best if Haiti were a candian territory. We are French speaking, been close with Haiti for a long time and have many Haitian immigrants in Quebec. We would be more respectful of their culture and allow them to govern themselves, keep their freedom. America would turn it into a tourist ridden, Americanized world of malls, hotels, skyrises and advertising. It would no longer be recognizable to the Haitians.I think it is a bad idea to let America take over. You want a partner not a ruler.
