Legal Haitians in one small town in the USA.
- Status
We seldom look at the" other side of news stories here on DR1 as most members have hard core opinions and tend to stay with only that point of view.
I'm certainly in that category. Here is a story that gets even more convoluted than just "legal or illegal.
How an Ohio Town Landed in the Middle of the Immigration Debate
Jobs attracted thousands of Haitians to Springfield, and employers were ecstatic. But then an immigrant driver was involved in a fatal school bus crash. And JD Vance entered the fray.www.nytimes.com
Whatever the truth of the matter may be...................there is/are problems to solve;
And anyone that believes the Haitians, with TPS (Temporary Protected Status) are truly temporary......is a fool.
Haiti will continue to be a problem for both the DR, US and other countries until 2121.

The title of the thread is literally "Legal Haitians in one small town in the USA." One of the things you'll note through all of the links is that folks aren't so upset about legal Haitians - it's the illegal ones being dropped in by the thousands almost all at once without any sort of concern about the ramifications.
I understand the original intent of the thread. It has now become mainly a thread of US politics. It is really a stretch to say it is DR related, no matter what forum it is in.
Another pearl of what he hoped was wisdom from EHM...anyone understand this reply?
I am not quite sure you do.
Well, it is about Haitians in a small town in Ohio USA and the problems/issues at hand. Separating, or trying to separate politics (US) from the article is impossible.
It is not DR related so much because it is in a forum titled Haiti. Nonetheless, Haiti is a subject that cannot be studied or discussed in a strictly Dominican vacuum. Haitian migration has consequences for all those countries that they are fleeing to. The US, like the DR, just happens to be one of them.....and both countries have made it a political issue.

Posts in the Haiti Forum do not need to be DR related, it is the only forum where that is true. They should all be related to Haiti or Haitians.
I have never heard that Dominicans eat cats, ever. I have been here a long (30+ years) time, heard a lot of things but never that.
I've heard it from several Dominicans. It's a barrio thing. My impression was it was more of a poverty thing and this was a while ago - not recently.
Somehow I doubt it as well, although they have been known to throw the occasional Mr Ed on the pulla! Haitians, yup cat, dog, rats, pigeons no sweat and not even out of desperation. Heck, they’d hack up and eat a cadaver if they found one on the way home from the construction site I’m told!
That’s something I’d need to see to believe. Until then, on behalf of the WaPo, I award you the following!
I've not heard it about Dominicanos/as, but I have heard it about some Haitians. It's not considered to be a large number.
