A few comments:

Haiti is already a concentration camp.

Here's what happens if we send troops to Haiti. Middle class Haitians who pay $20 dollars a month for rent are quickly displaced by soldiers, or reporters, or UN observers who pay $300 a month for rent. A loaf of bread that costs a nickel goes up to a dollar. Local mobsters import young girls from the Dominican Republic for the soldiers. Rich and powerful make a lot of money, and the middle class, such as it is, is devastated.

The best thing we (the US Government) can do for Haiti is leave it alone.

And let the illegal Haitians invade America. This is premption to prevent the Aztlan reconquista situation from occuring in Florida. Anyway, the occupying soldiers will live in old Haitian Army barracks or at Port-au-Prince airport(The case in all peacekeeping deployments). As for food prices going up, well NGO aid organizations and missionaries will come in to take care of all short-term humanitarian concerns. Haiti will eventually have US companies come in to do business, providing jobs, and local entrepenurs(with assistance from the State Department and a smarter foreign aid program that teaches people how to make a living, not just hand out food.) The local mobsters will always find a way to make money, they'll just have to be shot when caught.
