They really need to expand on some of their statements. So much BS. They did not even mention except in passing that Haiti invaded the Dominican Republic and ruled over it for 22 years. And 5 times after that, and were defeated each time.
We are talking about Haiti the nation of NGO's with over 10,000 registered who have yet to rebuild anything of significance.
They also need to read the Dominican Constitution! There was nothing changed put explained what means in transit. Meaning if you are not a citizen or legal resident then your intransit
.
If you came from Haiti or anywhere else in 1929 or later and never bothered to become a legal resident, then the sin's of the father/mother are being visited on the sons/daughters.
As 70% of the Haitian population has no ID issued by their own country, they can not legally immigrate anywhere. Haiti is a stateless factory as the majority of their population cannot even prove they are Haitian. Why should any other country allow them to immigrate.
How come nothing has been said about the expulsion of Haitians from Brazil, Bahamas, etc. Their methods are much harsher then what the Dominican Republic is trying to do.
They also mentioned the Cocolos who came from the west indies. This was not the same situation as the Cane cutters from Haiti, as they immigrated and gained residency.
The Cane cutters from Haiti were a contract between Haiti and Dominican Governments. That has now been resolved and they and their descendants have received their residency due to the plan in place.
Remember both countries by their Consitution's are Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood) is a principle of nationality law by which citizenship is not determined by place of birth but by having one or both parents who are citizens of the state. This also applies to most of Europe an Asia.
While the US and most of Latin America is Jus soli, the principle that the country of citizenship of a child is determined by its country of birth
