Fact Sheet on Haitian Immigrants in the United States
 
By Steven A. Camarota on April 10, 2024
Political turmoil in Haiti has significantly increased the possibility of a surge in migration from that country to the United States. As a result, there is significant interest in the Haitian immigrant community currently residing in the United States. This fact sheet provides the most up-to-date socio-demographic profile of immigrants from that Caribbean country. The figures reported here are based on Center for Immigration Studies analysis of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), monthly Current Population Survey (CPS), and Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey (ASEC CPS). Each survey provides somewhat different information about the U.S. population including the Haitian community.1

Below are some basic socio-demographic statistics:

The Census Bureau’s smaller, but more up-to-date, Current Population Survey (CPS) shows 852,000 Haitian immigrants in the country in February 2024, more than triple the number in 1990 and double the number in 2000.

The Census Bureau’s much larger American Community Survey (ACS) shows 727,000 Haitian immigrants (legal and illegal) in the United States in July 2022, up from 596,000 in 2010, 409,000 in 2000 and 224,000 in 1990.2

The top states of Haitian immigrant settlement based on the 2022 ACS are Florida (369,000, 51 percent); New York (113,000, 16 percent); Massachusetts (63,000, 9 percent); New Jersey (46,000; 6 percent); Georgia (28,000, 4 percent); and Connecticut (14,000, 2 percent). (2022 ACS)

Did you know that under the Office of Refugee Resettlement's "Preferred Communities" program, a "refugee" can get a YEAR of comprehensive assistance if they say they're gay?  Haitians and Cubans are eligible AS SOON AS THEY ENTER.

Here are some more facts:

... Haiti, characterized by President Trump as a “sh*&hole nation,” seems as accurate a description as can be given. When Trump characterized Haiti disparagingly, no shortage of celebrity outrage ensued, qualifying his description as RAciSt. But, it appears accurate when looking at the data.

 Haiti leads the world in homicide per capita, rape per capita, and other kinds of violent crime per capita, and it has the distinction as the 127th most dangerous nation (out of 163 nations) by the Global Peace Index. According to the International Rescue Committee, girls and women suffer the brunt of the violence, as gangs use rape of their foes’ female family members as retribution for perceived wrongs.

And although the term shi&*hole appears crass, the description is apropos, as only 43% of the nation has access to running water according to the World Bank, and 31% practice “open defecation,” opting to not so much as dig a trench to hold their feces. Just as celebrities were winding down their criticism of President Trump, Haiti was thrown into civil unrest as a warlord named “Barbecue” took over and people began to cannibalize one another.  ...

The article from Protestia goes on to describe the mishmash of religions these people are bringing with them.
