Its not easy for people with little or no money and on top of that I don't think you have a heart. These people are doing their best with very little to get this far. Of course they will try and get it all done. And for all that effort and pain that many will not be able to handle, what good does it do? For many they have been here for most of all their lives brought here as children or almost refuges from living in a **** hole to something slightly better... a hot tin house with dirt floors and no real bathroom, water or electricity or where it barely works a couple hours a day or a few times a week.

All true, but you just described many Dominicans. The country doesn't need, or want, the burden of poverty stricken Haitian hordes.
no heart??
well, it would be new to me that immigrations rules are set by heart feelings.
as Bob already pointed out,
you just described a very big portion of the Dominican Population, which are simply fukcing poor and without those many things thata first world country takes as a given every day thingy.
and those poor dominicans can not afford to feed the poor Haitians abandonded by their own country.
if you wanna rule immigrations by Heart,
invite 1000 of them to your home community, paid for by your hometown's citizens with a heart,
and tell the surrounding communities to do the same.
Haiti is small, just a round 11 millions of a total population,
big rich countries like the USA could take all 11 millions and feed them and it still would cost just a smallest fraction of what they waste on modernizing their war machinery.
immigrations by heart my arse.

Yes, I am sure the DR government will redirect the funds and resources to poor Dominicans once the poor Haitians are gone.
the point is,
that such funds are not existing.
hence the haitians can not be fed in numbers by the millions here,
as this country already struggles to feed the own population properly.
Mike
What , pray tell, do you think the solidary and bono programs are, school lunch programs, adult literacy programs...etc.
Do you really think funding will increase because there are less Haitians around? Go into my girlfriends government relocation project of villa liberation and tell me how much government funding is being spread around. The government has forsaken so many places on the island. The money will go into silk pockets....I guess I am not the optimist you are. I have seen too much bad to think the government deserves the benefit of the doubt.
if education was high priority....they wouldnt have to organize free food giveawys....ha ha ha
you may have missed it,
but free food giveaways are happening in DR on daily bases.
and if education in your country would have any priority,
then you would know to not drink and type on DR1 after 8PM kiddies bedtime.
but Noooooo,
keep 'em coming.
you are often one of the most entertaining thingies around DR1 on booring weekend evenings.
Mike
But perhaps there would be more jobs available for the poor dominicans if there are less Haitans around?
This I can agree with.
The biggest problem has been the government and businesses relying on cheap illegal labor. If this practice is stopped, the problem would alleviate itself. If there are no jobs for illegals, there would be very few illegals around.
None of the argument you make turns someone from illegal to legal in a country. Following the proper government required procedures in exactly the same manner as everyone else is what does that.
I think I read somewhere --- not here --- that deportations weren't scheduled to begin until all papers had been distributed to those who qualified for them. We must be getting pretty close to that.
Although I didn't consciously plan it this way, I am glad to be out of the country for the beginning of the deportations. (Although I am freezing my bazookas off with these New England late summer evening temperatures in the 60s.)
