Haitians protest in Puerto Rico about Dominican citizenship?

:D

That's almost funny.

I wonder if those Haitians were also illegal in Puerto Rico?

I feel bad about the haitians thought... that court decision may come back and bite the DR in the ass... in front of the rest of the world it looks pretty racist and heavy handed...

I wonder why "the Prince" allowed that to happen (after all, all those judges answer to HIM at the end of the day) in the first place.

Delite,

The protesters are Dominicans not some recent arrival Haitian national that can't speak Spanish. I am assuming many can be effected by this sentence. Besides, this picture was from a protest in the DR of Dominicans of Haitian ancestry. . USA needs to implement the same sentence specifically to Americans of Dominican descent. This is racist as it only targets Haitian origin.as Bob's children would be given Dominican nationality even if he didn't request it.

Who cares if it is racist.

DR has a right to set its own immigration policies and use any criteria it see fits.

What intelligent people would that be, the other countries in the Caribbean that turn the Haitians away from their borders and repatriate them almost immediately.

No they said it effects 34,000 people of other origin, non-Haitian. Of my children would, I'm a legal resident and my wife is Dominican.

Bob please. Even if you were illegal this would not effect you. You are considered an asset to improve their race "mejorando la raza". I have seen Colombians employees in the DR treat Dominicans less than. This sentence is solely for people of Haitian origin. I guess Vicini,Fanjul, Hasbun etc will be stripped of their Dominican nationality. Please tell me you aren't this ignorant.

All the above members of Dominican society entered illegally? That's more or less what you have suggested. Before getting too excited and throwing out insults, remember that things happen slowly in the DR. The government has said there will be a path to citizenship for these people. They are going to have to jump through some hoops that their grandparents were either too ignorant ( as in uneducated) or lazy to jump through ( like actually having papers or legal status). I doubt there will be any deporting to Haiti of anyone other than recent arrivals.

so, then, i take it that you would be equally cavalier in your assessment if the USA decided to disallow Dominicans from entering the country because of ethnicity? i mean, it has a right to use any criteria it sees fit, right?

I know a French guy who fled Paris for Santo Domingo, because he should have gone to jail there so better hidding in the DR. I can bet whatever you want that his sons/daughters ( if he decides to have a family in the DR) will have that citizenship.

Same remarks for The French community in Las Terrenas who few years ago, replaced French Guyana as a "convict settlement colony" (most of the crooks of south of France were settled there), not counting all the gringos convicts who took refuge in the DR (Canadians, Americans, Russians etc) fleeing Interpol. If I were a Dominican politician I would have expelled all this people, in a NY minute, because they can't bring anything posivitive to the DR except more crimes.

Bob sometimes your comments amaze me, are you not a foreigner in somebody's else country ?
