The 'catch' is that if we assist the Haitians in establishing a stable government and a stable economy, we won't have to spend millions of tax dollars every year trying to keep the illegal and dangerous flow of immigrants trying to reach US soil from succeeding.

Stop taking soooo many pills... I was stationed on a Coast Guard Cutter, which was one of many, that did nothing but patrol the Haitian coast, intercept vessels filled with migrants headed to the US and repatriate them. Six weeks out, then six weeks in. So yes, millions of tax dollars were and are spent to keep Haitians from making the trip to Florida illegally...
