There is no Jus Soli in Haiti, but DR has Jus Soli. I think that DR should deny Jus Soli rights to any country that doesn't have Jus Soli.
If Haiti gets flooded with Dominicans, and they give birth in Haiti, guess what? none of them will be Haitian citizens. They all will be just Dominican. So why DR has to give Dominican citizenship to ethnic Haitians then?
Look at a world atlas. How many countries in the world share an island with another one? I only found Cyprus in the Mediterranean and the new republic of East Timor that just came out in 1999 I think. ( I don't count Borneo because Malaysia and Indonesia are not only confined to this island, the sultanate of Brunei is).
In this geopolitical situation, Is it prudent to grant citizenship by birth to the other side of the island? Does this make sense?
Let's suppose that Haiti has an economy twice as big as DR and has 2 million ethnic Haitian people,and gets flooded with one million poor Dominican migrants, and they give birth to another million in Haiti. Do you think Haitians are going to want that? What are going to be the political implications on the island.? You gonna have 2 million ethnic Dominicans in Haiti, having a political influence favoring the DR. Haitians might as well just unify their State then with DR.
This is ridiculous, and YES, a danger for the ethnic integrity of Dominicans as a nation. This is not some " anti-hatian " bs. Is like having a room( the island of hispaniola) with two kitchens ( DR and Haiti). The Haitian coming to your kitchen ( DR) saying it is his kitchen too and have a say on what you should cook in your kitchen. This is bs.
If Haiti doesn't have Jus Soli ( I don't know why some dirt poor country wouldn't grant Jus soli in the first place. In Africa only Sierra Leone grants Jus Soli only if your parents are of Negroid race or British citizens, now that's is weird). and is also the weakest link in the island. Why DR has to grant citizenship by birth to ethnic Haitians?
Even if Haiti grants Jus Soli, it doesn't matter, if one state getts flooded with people from another state on the same island, there shouldn't be jus soli on both states !! The constitution needs to be changed.
