"Women report being followed around in stores by Haitians to the point where they're so nervous they have to ask for an escort to get out to the car," Monaghan remarked.
He said that some of the Haitian nationals have a tendency to be intimidating toward others by intruding on their personal space.
"I've seen that, and you just don't behave that way here. You don't walk around the store with your cell phone just blasting. You don't walk around the store eating fruit out of the bins and throwing your trash on the ground. You don't relieve yourself in public," Monaghan explained. "Again, not all Haitians, but a lot of them don't seem to have any interest in our social norms around here. So it makes it kind of a tough fit."
