    OAS convenes to emergency symposium on Haiti after criticism from Rubio

    Although people like Windeguy just laugh at events like this, things in Haiti will just continue to get worse if nobody from the international community does anything. In my opinion, anything is better than nothing and we can only hope that something useful will come out of it and for once the...

    The never-ending odyssey of Haitian undocumented migrants

    Unfortunately, the story of the person mentioned in the article is like so many others. Until something is done about the situation in Haiti, honest, hardworking people will always try to get out and live and work here. As we all know, the problem seems impossible to resolve, but the...

    The government says it will not halt deportations, and business leaders call for a plan to regularize Haitians

    We call it dole money in the UK too. People who are out of work are described as "on the dole".

    Pay windshield cleaners or else…

    I am actually a bot torn on the window washers. Although I wish they wouldn't do it, I usually give them a few pesos because what they are doing is better than robbing someone to get money.

    Pay windshield cleaners or else…

    It goes on all over the world. In London, England, some have been known to put a nice scratch along the side of your car if you don't pay them.

    After 14 years of massive budgets, Dominican education is still woefully behind

    One of the main problems, in my opinion, is the amount of time when the kids don't have to go to school. The kids I support seem to have at least a day off school per week, be it for reasons of bad weather, staff meetings, teacher illness or death, etc., etc. On top of that, as Mr Saunders...

    Oh dear. When you said good night yesterday I hoped you would cease your nonsense here but I see you have woken up refreshed and ready to resume.

    Severance pay scams can continute

    At a bar/restaurant I visit regularly, They have the policy of not keeping waiting staff longer than three months. It's infuriating. A new waiter/waitress starts and for a couple of days doesn't know what they're doing. We try to be tolerant. Soon they are doing a good job, know our names...

    Barbecue knows English?!

    I have seen him speak English in other videos too. Maybe he learned English at school, a privilege that the current generation don't have, thanks to all the destruction he and his fellow nihilists have caused.

    Severance pay scams can continute

    That's a hell of a generalisation. Some employees may act as you say but I have had employees who have worked well for me here for years without trying to get fired. I have been asked for liquidation pay during their employment, if they need cash, and this basically means terminating their...

    87 pregnant Haitian women detained in hospitals under new immigration checks

    Many people here seem to have little thought for other people. It is not right that people who are illegal here should get unlimited care on your precious money, but once the women are in labour I would not throw them out on the street or into the back of a truck to give birth there.

    87 pregnant Haitian women detained in hospitals under new immigration checks

    What's all this Sosua stuff? You have mentioned it previously. Do you think I live there? I don't, anymore than you do. But like you, I have visited.

    Leah Francis Campos says curtailing Chinese influence in DR will be a priority if confirmed as US ambassador

    OK, it's a "word" I never heard before but I don't know why you find you find it necessary to refer to the political system in China itself when talking about the DR. But there you go, I will say no more as your strange wording has little to do with the topic here.
