From the Paper:

"Although things may appear rosy for the Haitian entrepreneur, it is also true that the country has for decades been victimized by very high unemployment and underemployment rates. The lack of jobs was further worsened by the decline in urban assembly sector jobs from 1986-1994. Politics however appear better since 1994 when illegal military rule was replaced with the return of the legitimate government. This resulted in fewer illegal immigrants to the United States."
