Santo Domingo.- Mao-Montecristi (northwest) diocese bishop Diomedes Espinal on Monday said more Haitians are entering the country than before, including those who had returned voluntarily when the government plan to register immigrants concluded.
"They continue to work on farms, in livestock and agriculture. Everything goes smoothly, " said the also president of the Dominican Catholic Church?s Pastoral for Migrants.
