My friend's commentary - FYI
===================================================
The recent issues in Ciudad Juan Bosch has brought illegal immigration to the fore as expected. there has been a lot of articles in the press and the head of immigration has been speaking to the media and reinforcing his intention to apply the immigration law in full and end illegal immigration by foreigners:
Here is the latest report today:
Director of Immigration: "The one who is illegal, if he fell into my hands, he leaves"

The director of Migration , Enrique García Sánchez , reiterated this Friday that he is going to comply with the immigration laws of the Dominican Republic, by deporting people who do not have documents to remain in this nation.
"The one that is illegal, if it fell into my hands, it goes away, because I am going to get it out," said García Sánchez.
The director of Migration specified that the Dominican Republic cannot give up its right to comply with the regulations.
In the case of the regularization plan for Venezuelans, he stated that the citizens of that nation were helped because they have their papers
However, in the case of Haitians, he said that most of them do not have any type of paper; therefore, they cannot execute a plan to help them normalize their immigration status. In that sense, García Sánchez reiterated to the illegals: "If you don't leave, we're going to get you out."
He said that the Haitian issue is so many years behind schedule that no work has been done. He explained that it is the first time that the Migration Council , which is the body that draws up migration policy, meets on a recurring basis. He revealed that in this Government in one month, the Council has met four times. "Attention is being paid to the issue, but it really isn't so simple that it can be resolved from now to tomorrow, because there are even legal issues," said the official while participating in the "55 Minutes" program on CDN.
García Sánchez said that they not only deport natives from Haiti, but also from Colombia, whose citizens can enter the Dominican Republic without visas. Also to people from Russia and Uzbekistan, a country in Central Asia, which was a member of the Soviet Union.
Migratory alerts
Regarding the migratory alerts, García Sánchez indicated that he recognized that they are illegal practices that they ordered from previous efforts in the Attorney General's Office.
He said that they only execute exit impediments to the orders that are signed by the judges.
The General Directorate of Migration has been in the public eye in recent days, due to operations carried out in Ciudad Juan Bosch. In a video sent to the DL newsroom, two men with caps bearing the acronym of the General Directorate of Migration (DGM) and a soldier were seen climbing to enter an apartment building without the residents' permission. The DGM carried out operations in this residential complex, after the day before, its agents were stoned by Haitians with illegal immigration status.
It would appear many contributors to this forum are taking steps to get residency and others do consider the staying extension and that is the best approach imo. There is the group that based on history just overstay and that is their choice. But it is worth continuing posting the many changes that continue to occur at DGM and the intent of its leadership to end the non application of the immigration law so they can see it is not all as before. Whilst the Haitian and Venezuelan issues were the top of the list they are now also dealing with Colombians, other South Americans, Chinese, Russians and other Asian nationalities. Overstaying westerners remain the lowest priority and few are penalized right now.
