Great idea, but remember how the United Nations specifically sent Kenyan troops in 2023 as peacekeepers because the racial optics of nonblack soldiers in a black area are too difficult. Even then, you have complainers who call the Kenyans an “occupation force.” https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/4/haiti_united_nations_forces

Imagine if the El Salvadorean gangsters in charge of Haiti would then embrace eugenics on a really huge scale.

The problem is that there is no guarantee that the prisons would want to run Haiti like a normal country. They might just go back to being MS-13 members with now an entire state at their disposal. Being a narco state would isolate them from the entire world and now you are back to square one.

Which is why the smart Salvadoreans try moving to the US, no?

The smartest Salvadoreans get a cheesy government job where they can receive infinite bribes and build a manor with maids and armed security. Only the dumb poor move to pick fruit in the United States without labor protections.

Except now Bukele is aggressively cracking down on corruption, apparently.
