The environmental crap as you call it,
Is caused by Haitians cutting down all trees and foliage creating erosion.
Just as we have incredible pollution in DR rivers, cause by Dominicans throwing their garbage and dumping chemicals and toxic liquids in the rivers.
I can see the river Camu, laden with garbage in heavy rains.
Those rivers could be pristine, clean if people cared.
In your vacation paradise,
NN —
"Hundreds of prisoners have escaped from Haiti’s National Penitentiary in the capital, Port-au-Prince, after fighting broke out on Saturday, according to a law enforcement source."
How many of those murderers will infiltrate the DR?
I can understand your concern for decent people you know, who just may be victims of circumstance.
My concern is for the people in the DR and how this country can be protected from Haitian chaos.
The DR is a poor country, with few resources.
If insecurity increase here, the important tourism industry will suffer.
You may be a good person,
But you seem to be an old man ( you.." I wasn't so old.") living on dreams.
The world will not be as you hope.
