Hi Guys,

Last night I saw an ABC "Nightly Report" on the attempts of Dominicans Fleeing to Puerto Rico to get US bound. Their boat capsized and many drowned before the coast guard could reach them. They interviewed a group of Dominicans in La Romana and many of them tried the "yola crossing" and was returned and all of them said they will try it again.

Is La Romana one of the Launch Sites for this dangerous passage??
Is the situation that desperate in the DR?

I've seen the poverty level in some parts of the DR and its sad, hopefully the new president "Leonel" will create jobs and feed his people.
