Good points, but you omitted to address the fundamental flaw in the so-called "commerce" argument: We like Haitian dollars.
The new customers didn't bring those dollars from Haiti. Nor did they earn them here on a level playing field. Those dollars were directed to preferred groups, at the expense of American taxpayers generally and local residents in particular.
Debit cards were given to them, housing vouchers, Medicaid cards and EBT cards as well. Jobs were set aside. Food, housing and transportation were all magically provided to the "newcomers." Some have observed that the Haitians in their area were all driving Honda Odyssey vehicles, had the same insurer, and other unexpected similarities.

There's commerce. And then there's corruption.
