Did you say the population if the town grew by 30%ish and it was entirely Haitians? That's odd. Why that small town out of all the other options?

QAA did a look into it, apparently they tried to open a bunch of new factories there and were only able to fill positions by pulling in immigrants.

I'm also pretty intrigued by that. Supposedly the city was in decline until the migration boom.
