The owner of the metal place isn't wrong, per se. Springfield is a dead town where the people who live there are probably the ones who can't leave. The only reason I've ever been there is to stop at Hardee's and get gas on the way to the Hamvention or Air Force Museum. So yes - these illegals who are doing ANY work are probably doing more work than the drug-fueled remnants of a once-vibrant city.
But that's at a damaging cost to an already broken community. What little investment there was in said community is now none, and that's just going to take it down even more until this guy has nothing left but these illegals who will soon tire of working because they're still getting gubbmint gibs.
The self-fulfilling prophecy is here.

Exactly. Any money spent on these Haitians should be invested into helping the local community.
Fun fact! While there on business I was offered drugs and sex while eating at the Texas Road House. I did smoke a joint with this trashy hot woman in their parking lot, but I declined her offer to come to my hotel with me. Great place! What made this even more interesting was the woman clearly knew the bartender there, so I wonder if the bartender cased me up and called this girl to alert her of a possible trick. That was like 10 years year ago. I haven't had a reason to go back, I'm sure it is even worse now.
I feel bad that you had to go there for a reason.
I just looked. Springfield does it's own local/city income tax so they'll get some of that but I am sure that metal place is getting some of that waived and the city is taking a hit. I would say 90% of anything the illegals earn is sent back to Haiti. If they were in RITA I would say they would get 80%.
