There was another attempted boat crossing on Tuesday (Jan 3, 2012) but the one hundred and twenty five Haitians on the boat were caught by US Coast Guards and repatriated. I am glad no one lost their life in this attempted illegal crossing but as stated in the thread already, it's a sign of the state of affairs in Haiti. They are desperate, they want a chance at a better life and apparently will take the risk. As the two year anniversary of the Jan 12, 2010 earthquake approaches many Haitians are still living in tent camps (the estimated amount as per another article in Listín Diario yesterday is 500,000) and life in general is difficult, precarious and little has changed since they have been living there for the past two years.

Illegal boat crossings will be one of many problematic issues surrounding Haitians in 2012 (my prediction only). They want out, they want better, and a move from Port-au-Prince to Jacmel is not the solution to their problem.
