and, yes the DR does a lot.. but sometimes it appears that they prefer to complain about the issue that seek solutions......

Automatic Citizenship?
Yes I'm in the USA! And your point is? I can vote from here and participate in the political process as if I'm in the DR, thanks to an amendment to the DR constitution
I guess you didn't know that! We Dominican in the USA has the same power and voice as Dominican in the DR.Why are you assuming I'm not a U.S. citizen!?! For your information I've been an U.S. citizen since 2002, so I have the same right that you have or anybody else born here in U.S.

Oh yes I knew that, and the same is true for the dominican enclaves of Europe. Good for you your an exception then,as most don't.
What do you mean I'm an exception? Dominicans here in the U.S. have been in the list of the top 10 countries for many years when it comes to naturalization. Every Dominican that I know is a U.S. citizen! You are seriously missed informed or you don't know what are you talking about!
Please take a look at the Homeland Security Naturalization Annual Repost! Dominicans become U.S. citizen in the thousand every year.

All I am suggesting is that Dominicans should UNDERLINE for the international community... the COST that they undertake for the births from Haitian mothers. They appear to consistently MISS this opportunity in the international press. It only seems to be mentioned in the local press.
for instance, the DR Ambassador wrote a letter to the NY Times, in response to a piece printed there..
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/21/o...html?scp=2&sq=dominican republic haiti&st=cse
He could have mentioned the birth stats - since presumably the state has them since the Libra Rosada has been in operation since 2007- with an estimated cost per average birth. This is just good PR.. something that the DR could really get a lot better at .. (for instance, the whole thing with the lawyers from the Vicini's going around trying to block the showing of "The Price of Sugar" really just generated more and more publicity for it)

I agree with you 100% MA but the international community is hard to please and the international press is sometimes down right unfair.
