Trump is picking on Haitians for a reason

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : Which is just as Trump and Vance like it.
36% : Last week I was asked why Trump is fixated on Haiti.
33% : On top of all that, Trump is threatening to visit the beleaguered city in the coming weeks, something the mayor, Rob Rue, really wishes he wouldn't do.
22% : At a rally on 18 September, Trump managed to stuff four lies -- about the number, legal status, and rate of growth of Springfield's Haitian population, as well as the city's crime rate -- into just 25 words.
22% : But Trump also seems to have a particular obsession with Haiti, top on his list of "shithole countries", and with Haitians, top on the list of deportees.
21% : The implied question that followed: why is Trump threatening (or promising, depending on where you stand) to deport them? Mass deportations of unauthorised immigrants would be economically ruinous for the US, experts say.
16% : A local law firm has helped a national organisation, the Haitian Bridge Alliance, file criminal charges against Trump and Vance for their roles in the mayhem.
7% : Trump allegedly discriminated against Black tenants in his properties in the seventies; took out a full-page ad calling for the lynching of innocent Black teens, the Central Park Five, in 1989; and in the 2010s propounded birther lies against the country's first Black president, Barack Obama.
