GREENWICH, Conn., Sept. 25, 2026 /Standard Newswire/ — In HAITI: The American Dilemma!, author Guy L. Smith asks Christians to examine how their convictions shape their response to Haitian immigrants caught in the American immigration system. A chapter devoted to Christian responsibility places questions of faith alongside the book’s examination of Haiti’s history, American policy, detention, deportation and due process.
The book asks readers to consider the commands of Jesus concerning compassion and care for vulnerable people as more than statements of personal belief. Smith argues that those principles should also inform the choices made by churches, public officials and citizens when the government exercises power over people seeking safety.
The question is urgent for Haitian families navigating asylum proceedings, detention transfers and the threat of removal. Smith draws on his disaster relief work in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and later efforts to assist Haitian immigrants in the United States. He connects those experiences with historical materials, legal authorities, government records and reporting cited in the book.
“Haiti exposes an American dilemma that is larger than any one administration or political party,” Smith said. “The question is not whether America may enforce its borders. It is whether the country can exercise enormous power over vulnerable people without surrendering truth, restraint, due process, and mercy.”
Smith does not argue that religious conviction eliminates the government’s authority to enforce immigration law. He asks whether lawful enforcement can be conducted with accuracy, accountability and respect for human beings. The book invites believers to consider whether their public positions, private actions and treatment of Haitian neighbors reflect the values they profess.
Across fourteen chapters and a conclusion, HAITI: The American Dilemma! examines the relationship between Haiti and the United States and the choices Americans face today. Its chapters address Christian responsibility, constitutional protections, detention contracting, claims about criminality, political incentives and the responsibilities of citizens and leaders.
HAITI: The American Dilemma! is available in paperback and as a Kindle eBook at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HJ9Q5X2Z. Smith is available for interviews about the book, Christian responsibility and American immigration policy.
