from Coverage of the Haiti Earthquake (The Takeaway)

More than two weeks after the earthquake struck in Haiti, destroying homes and tearing apart families, Haitians are scrambling to find new places to live.

We talk with Jay Newton-Small, Washington correspondent for Time Magazine who reported about the expected emigration patterns from Haiti. We also speak with Joshua Johnson, a reporter and host for WLRN-Miami Herald News, about how Miami is responding to what may be an influx of Haitian immigrants in the upcoming weeks.
