According to the Daily Kos. Just shows how distorted and out of touch the media reports have been. More anti DR propoganda.
Dominican Republic to be 'Socially Cleaned' in two days
Dominican Republic to be 'Socially Cleaned' in two days
I suppose the only Dominican Haitian is someone born to a Dominican and a Haitian. I believe the DR, like Australia, does not grant citizenship based on birthplace.
What are Dominican-Haitians? The media makes it sound like if they had dominican citizenship and it's being taken away from them. As far as I understand they never had dominican citizenship. They just lived here illegally, for many years, maybe even decades and now finally the government is doing something about it. And to avoid that people without any ties to Haiti are sent back to that country they have a regularization plan that will give them the possibility to get residence or citizenship. The documents needed for that need to come from the Haitian government who's not cooperating.
I have been too lazy to get all the details of something that doesn't seem to be my problem, but that's what I got from it.

yes, correct, and like the Netherlands, Germany, France, and....Haiti (and many other countries, or actually almost all other countries except most the Americas).
I used the term "Dominican-Haitian" to differentiate them from Haitians who were born in Haiti itself, but are living within the Dominican border. The 'Dominican-Haitian' would be one born in the DR, but to Haitian parents. Hope I made this clear.
So, in short, ALL illegal Haitians or Dominican Haitians ("illegal" expanded to also mean those who claim to have been born in DR but have NO proof to prove this) are slated for deportation, right? Also, while the light is on the Haitians being the largest group, is there going to be a deportation of other illegal immigrants also, like Jamaicans, Cubans, Puerto Ricans and others?
Ah...I got you. Never knew this. So to be clear, if you are born in the DR, this does NOT automatically make you a Dominican? Am I understanding this correctly? How then does one become a Dominican?
So, as I am from the U.S Virgin Islands, if my mother and father (both from Nevis and St. Kitts, respectively) had me in the Dominican Republic, I would not be automatically be considered a "Dominican," I take it. Now if BOTH of my parents are from the DR and have me in the DR, then that makes me Dominican?

They can't just be 'from the DR', they must be Dominicans. And it doesn't matter where you are born then - a child born to a Dominican anywhere in the world can apply for DR citizenship.
There is no difference between a Haitian born in Haiti and one born in DR. Dominican law says to be Dominican you must be born to a Dominican, end of story. Citizenship is by blood, not by place of birth.
There are foreigners who have been naturalized, but that is another unrelated story.
Ok, I got it! So if one or both of your parents are NOT Dominican, you are Not automatically Dominican. You are whatever your parents are - Greek, Russian, Trinidadian, Jamaican, American, Lithuanian.
