    Former President Fernandez expresses concern over unchecked migration

    Ironically, the same rules would apply to someone born in Haiti from foreign parents. Haiti is actually more extreme in that sense. It's the same issue with countries where "jus sanguini" is used to transmit nationality. I was once researching for a presentation and found out that...

    Salcedo Carnival Disaster
