Cidadãos haitiano-estadunidenses


Explanation:
Prefiro "estadunidenses" a "americanos" pois, em rigor, todos os nacionais de países das três Américas são americanos.

cidadãos americanos de origem haitiaa


Explanation:
Apesar do número de adesões acima, ainda me parecem "traduções na marra", ou seja palavra-por-palavra (pelo dicionário).\
Nem sempre esta é a melhor opção no idioma de destino. Um brasileiro que não estivesse pressionado a satisfazer um cliente jamais diria "haitiano-americanos" muito menos "haitiano-estadunidenses" (notem que o adjetivo "estadunidense", comum que seja em espanhol da América Latina, nunca foi bem recebido no Brasil)

¡Ay caramba! Faltou-me uma consoante! (culpa do teclado). Evidentemente é "origem haitiana" em vez de "origem haitiaa".
