It's not the border that needs securing.....
It's the people who man that border.
Haitians crossing " mountains " and sh.it, may happen, but I would guess the vast majority of illegals cross the same border at the same points as the legals....
I mean, don't you guys realise that illegal haitians in the DR go back on holiday to Haiti ?
Ok, maybe not holiday in the strict sense of the word, but they cross back and forth over the years to visit family, do administrative stuff, etc...
The going rate to get from Haiti to the cibao ( as that's where I am, so no idea for other places ) is 7k pesos.
That gets you a seat on a bus or a guagaua, through the border, past the checkpoints, with all your luggage, and everything is pre-arranged, no extra handouts or anything.
Lots of pudggy fingers eating out of that particular pie...... As if a fence or a wall will solve anything as long as the same people have the keys to the door. ..smh.
