I have a feeling DR wouldn't permit this type of ideology. (Which is why I love DR).

It's unbelievable how people can survive off of a monthly salary which is amounts to a weekly grocery trip for many of us. It would be much better to be a housekeeper for a couple of clients that pay you at least 1,000/day than to work in one house and receive 13K for the month.

I was taught by the locals to not use large denominations in these situations as the person on the other side of the transaction will probably not have change (this goes for Ubers/taxis, colmado deliveries, PedidoYas deliveries, etc.) If in the moment I only have a high denomination bill I...

The tip left on UberEats or PedidosYa ap is 100% for the person who makes the delivery.

While the rates are higher than your typical AI, people with real money travel to much more exclusive places (Turks, St Marteen, etc.) Unfortunately, saying you went to Dominican Republic for vacation (even if it's the St Regis or W) just isn't as powerful.

I am gonna say he has no interest in ever returning to DR.

Really does not make sense to me why HSI would concern themselves about whether his stamp has an exit stamp that is placed by Dominican immigration agents. It's not HSI's job to perform quality control for the Dominican immigration department. When I leave DR, I use my DR passport through...

And Charles is also pronounced "Charlie"!

Even going as far as changing the spelling of the former president on the street sign.

I've met numerous named Elvis and Freddy which I always found interesting

What can the government do? Have a functioning waste collection and management system. There is garbage on the streets in the barrios because garbage trucks don't pick up garbage there. Educate and create consciousness about littering. There has to be a half dozen ministries for environmental...

Why? They are all corrupt

I don't believe crimes committed abroad appear in the acta de buena conducta. And yes, they can get jobs. Many work in call centers.

Someone touched on it but the idea behind these NGOs and other agencies is that they work to make these second and third world countries better (education, health, and other initiatives). with the goal that less people will want to migrate to the USA as a result.

Most have the plan of returning some day anyways so it just might be expedited.

Not the first case of a stowaway and I have never heard of that causing a revocation of status. There have been a number of security breaches at AILA over the years with never any follow up in the news as to what happened. Zero accountability!

While I agree that the 400DOP was excessive (and more than I would have given) this is the way I look at it when I have the opportunity to help someone out here. Plus we are all free to spend our money in the way we like :)

The article states they came from Louisiana and that is where there is a detention facility for illegal immigrants who get caught at the border. I have a family member who got caught right after crossing the border. They sent him to a detention facility in Louisiana for a few weeks and from...

Up to this point the deported have been criminals after serving their time. (Again, they did not need to be illegal as those who had residence without citizenship applied to this). Now the expectation is the deportations will include those who are illegal in the US. (Even if they have not...

As mentioned, there is a verification process once the deportees arrive. But if the individual has no outstanding issues in DR, there is nothing further DR authorities do to deal with crimes committed abroad.
