Why not dIg up a long canal and fill it up with piranhas!!!!! ????
Hey, despite historical hostilities, the DR and Haiti are not at war . Even if they wanted to, I doubt that either side could affford an armed conflict. Any attempts at setting up a fence or wall, would only further militarize a zone that the military already mismanages with corruption and all kinds of abuses.
The border should actually be entirely open, on condition that Haiti stops its delusion of being a real country allows itself to be temporarily terminated as an independent nation.
Politically incorrect -and granted that not entirely original- but here are two potential Neocolonial solutions:
A new international entity would be formed by all the countries that have been mostly affected, positively or negatively, by the failures of Haiti to take over running the place. Not a half-hearted UN fideicomiso or peace-keeping presence. Actually abolishing the Republic of Haiti and substituting it with a multinational governing entity with members from the US, the Bahamas, the Vatican, Cuba, the DR, Canada, and France, and of course folks from the country by then formerly-known-as Haiti who would now become citizens of Western Hispaniola and must know how to read and write to be eligible.
Alternatively, Iceland, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Holland, British Scots, Yukon Canadians, Alaskan Americans, Russia and Denmark can form a federation to purchase all of the real estate in the old Haiti and create a multinational tropical colony for their sun-starved constituents on condition of reforesting the land and creating sustainable food-production projects.
(The Vatican would have to give up on its opposition to strict birth control, since overpopulation and preventable sexually-transmitted maladies are a big part of these people's problems. Else, they can't be part of the consortium and their seat goes to the People's Republic of China who do know a trick or two in this area of demographic control.)
All native Western Hispaniolans who are infirm and cannot be reasonalby expected to ever be able to work, will be sent to hospices for humane care. Those with the ability to work (as citizens of WH) can stay and be paid decent salaries and provided with technical skills and micro-loans. All Western Hispaniolans of school age would be relocated to those nordic nations to get a real education and food. Once they acquire the tools of civilization, they can return to WH as native citizens, to slowly take back their old nation with a fresh start.
The ones who want to cross to the DR would actually be giving up on the opportunity of a lifetime, thus we should end up with less of them becoming illegal aliens and submitting themselves to the abuse that they take in the DR.
