Haiti’s State of Emergency Reveals the Failure of International Promises and Threatens U.S. Security

Haiti has officially declared a three-month state of emergency in its most troubled regions—Ouest, Artibonite, and Centre—as criminal gangs tighten their stranglehold over the Caribbean nation. This proclamation is more than just a desperate attempt to restore order; it is a stark indictment of years-long international failure that now threatens to spill over America’s borders.

Why Has the Crisis Spiraled Out of Control?

The Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) and Haiti’s interim government acknowledge that restoring security requires mobilizing all state resources immediately. Yet, how can Haitians breathe freely when armed gangs control nearly 90% of Port-au-Prince and continue expanding their influence? The United Nations-backed Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS), despite being led by Kenya and composed of multinational police forces, has proven ineffective at halting this surge in lawlessness.

This breakdown is not merely Haiti’s problem—it directly undermines U.S. national sovereignty. The chaos fuels mass migration pressures on our southern border, exacerbates drug trafficking routes into American communities, and creates fertile ground for extremist exploitation. Still, Washington remains reactive rather than proactive.

What Does This Say About Globalist Interventions?

The CPT’s call for increased international troops reflects desperation born from repeated failures. Yet, globalist-led missions have failed to secure even basic safety or uphold democratic institutions ahead of scheduled elections. Meanwhile, notorious gang leader Jimmy Cherisier openly threatens to overthrow Haiti’s transitional government—a chilling signal that anarchy may soon replace any semblance of governance.

American taxpayers must ask: Why are we financing foreign interventions that neither protect Haitian citizens nor safeguard U.S. interests? True America First policy demands we pivot towards supporting Haitian-led solutions that respect national sovereignty and promote stability without endless foreign entanglement.

The violent toll tells its own story—over 1,500 killed just in the second quarter alone—and yet Washington dithers. For hardworking Americans facing inflation and insecurity at home, this paralysis is unacceptable.

We must demand accountability from both our own leaders and international partners who have allowed Haiti’s descent into chaos to persist unchecked. The sooner we recognize these patterns as threats to our borders and economic wellbeing, the better prepared we will be to defend our nation’s future.
