		<description><![CDATA[By Michael Clemens - Last month, a CGD initiative succeeded in getting Haitians access to America’s largest temporary work visa program. Access to this visa has the potential to unleash hundreds of millions of dollars of new income—at no cost to the United States—for Haitian families still coping with a catastrophic earthquake and the world’s worst cholera epidemic. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michael Clemens - I’m delighted to share the news that yesterday the U.S. government added Haiti to the list of more than 50 countries eligible to participate in the H-2 visa program for temporary and seasonal workers, ending a longstanding policy of excluding Haitians from America’s largest temporary employment-based visa program. This is wonderful news for Haitians and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Charles Kenny - Over at Foreign Policy, I have a column this week about Michael Clemens&#8217; work on migration as a tool for disaster recovery. On the second anniversary of the Haiti quake, there has been some progress towards reconstruction and recovery, but it is slow. And one big reason for that is the snail&#8217;s pace rate of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Michael Clemens - Two years ago this Thursday, at least 150,000 people died one evening in Haiti. As a fraction of the national population, the U.S. equivalent would be the instant death of the entire state of South Carolina. Those Haitians died mostly because they lived in a poor country. Forget the comforting notion that an earthquake, pure [...]]]></description>

So many Haitians were killed that if the same fraction of the U.S. population were cut down, the deaths would outnumber the entire population of Tennessee.
