There is nothing that Danilo has done so far that was not contemplated in the initial tribunal ruling. Some people think that because Danilo "ordered" the deportations to be halted, that he is acting in ways contrary to what the tribunal ruling originally dictated when in reality Danilo is simply following exactly what the tribunal ruling and the migration law states. The tribunal judges have been saying pretty much from day one that the plan doesn't contemplates mass deportations, but most of the naysayers simply ignored whatever they said in order to create the big (and highly distorted) international scandal.
The Prime Minister of Saint Vincent has been attacking the DR for months solely by referencing the Haitians, so its completely normal that Danilo, after basically ignoring the PM every time he blasted the DR, finally decided to respond and focus almost exclusively on the Haitians. The PM was one of the main reasons for why the DR was not accepted into the CARICOM as a full member, but it must also be said that the British Caribbean has never been at complete ease with the Spanish Caribbean and this goes back to colonial times. The DR has been trying to join as a full member of CARICOM since the 1970s and all those small mostly English-speaking islands always find an excuse to keep the DR in limbo up to this very day.
Not many years ago I think they finally accepted Haiti as a full member, but they imposed a special condition on Haitian nationals. The nationals of all the other CARICOM countries can actually move from one island to the other without visa requirements, but his privilege is denied to Haitians. Everyone knows why, but its still interesting how Haiti is given a different treatment and no one says anything.
