As reported in Dominican Today:Santo Domingo.

- Dominican Army commander Jose Matos on Wednesday said since the start of Operation Shield along the border in January, more than 40,000 people have been arrested for illegally crossing the border, with permanent patrols by helicopters and Super Tucano planes, ?when the Defense Ministry orders it.?

He said the military studies technology with drones to patrol the skies over the border area.

Matos also announced that Defense minister Maximum W. Mu?oz plans a tour to inspect the border in the coming hours. "The Minister of Defense will personally monitor to verify the areas this afternoon or tomorrow and how to strengthen the brigades with the men requited."

He revealed that each of the three brigades currently along the border has 1,000 troops, which he affirms were recently increased.

He said in addition to a beefed up border, the Navy has now deployed two boats to patrol territorial waters to also halt illegal entry by sea.

The Army Commander, who spoke prior to the start of a training course for National District Firefighters, said the measures have led to 80% more confiscations of contraband along the border

I recall PICHARDO's posts.........'after we have secured the border......' seems a lot is happening

Good indeed.

But not good English in this sentence:

"He said the military studies technology with drones to patrol the skies over the border area."

I'm just glad there doing it. If all the CARICOM nations can protect their boarders and deport Haitians the DR should be able to as well without repercussions.

I was just thinking to myself, the more Haitians that are removed from the DR the more the Gringos will come under scrutiny. Maybe being able to hide behind a sea of Haitians is a benefit to some...

Is that wrong, except for perhaps lacking quotes or the word 'that'? He said that the military studies technology with drones etc.

I think it would be more accurate to say " The Military is studying the use of Drone technology to patrol over the border area. " Having said that, it is clear what was meant.

Haiti - Social : The exodus of Haitians to the neighboring Republic remains strong in Dajab?n - HaitiLibre.com : Haiti news 7/7

"Many Haitian arrested told the Dominican agents, they had family in the Dominican Republic and they came into the country in search of their parents, to try to regularize their situation by benefiting from the National Regularization Plan of Foreigner (PNRE) offered by the Dominican government...
"
Recall once again to our countrymen, that to benefit from PNRE, it is necessary inter alia, that the applicant proves by documents he resided in the Dominican Republic since 2011. Evidence already difficult to obtain for Haitians who meet this criteria (which is not the only requirement), but not possible for those who seek adventure every day, rocked with false hopes maintained by Haitian smugglers who get rich on the ignorance of our compatriots."

When you have nothing, you have nothing to lose. If they get turned around they will try a different route. I am sure that the Dominican brass have discussed building a wall but that would go over like a fart in church so cross that off the list.
