Leaving aside all the "Haitians eating cats" discourse, you can't expect to drop 20,000 people from a foreign country into a whitebread community of only 50,000 and expect there to be no cultural conflicts.
Many Haitians are dirt poor. As in, they literally eat dirt because there's no food. Their side of the island has been ravaged by earthquakes, hurricanes, mudslides, insurrections and notoriously corrupt government. Plus zombies - like, have you ever seen The Serpent and the Rainbow? You think these people are going to integrate flawlessly into small middle-American towns?
Yes, they're going to eat your cat if they get the chance. Yes, they're going to shit on your lawn. Yes, they're going to drive cars without a license and kill innocent schoolchildren.
It's a sign of why our immigration policy is totally off the rails fucked. We let anyone in, with no vetting, if they come from a shitty place. The world is FULL of shitty places - and most of them are shitty because the people who live there make them shitty. Why would we want to import those shitty people into our country? The net result is that our country turns a little shittier with every one of them we import.
