Actually that would be a good thought as we do have US territories in the Caribbean. I would think because we are closest and probably in the best position financially to assist.
It is difficult to impose yourself on another nation - we do not have jurisdiction on many of the other island and we cannot force ourselves on them - I suppose if they have the space and ability we could ask.
But if we have the facilities to assist why wouldn't we?
We are not "closest"
Let all the bleeding hearts who demand the US do something turn their ire against the nations that are "closest." But of course, they won't.
Obviously we can't "make" Caribbean nations accept Bahamian refugees but we can make it extremely enticing for them to do so.
Now, I suspect some might argue that doing so would disrupt their societies, but if that's a valid argument, why can't we use it? Because we are in a position to better absorb a disruptive influence? That's nuts.
What
facilities do you think we have to welcome thousands of Bahamian refugees into our country?
Americans (including the US government) will be sending more money to the Bahamas then the rest of the world combined. That's not enough?
