500,000 this year ?​

The President did say he wanted 10,000 illegals a week to be given a free ride across the border.

Yeah I swear this is the year I get my six pack abs back
My six-pack abs are safely tucked under a protective covering provided by platos del dia :) On that 500,000...it would be interesting to know how many are repeat offenders. The actual number of individual people deported by the end of the year could be closer to 200,000, who knows?

This would be controversial but I think they are better off leaving the ones already here, who made a home, learned the language, learned to work and make money, settled down in communities (except offenders), and put the money and effort into securing the borders, to stop new arrivals....

Most of those they are sending back are back in a week - they have a life here..., they got a taste of DR living...!

Right, and many of the ones they are deporting are born here in the DR and are completely lost when they get exiled to Haiti, with nowhere to go, knowing nobody and not even speaking the language.

Oh well, illegal is illegal. Certainly that is not the DR's problem.

It should be easy to deport 500,000 a year. Prolem is that it is the same 10,000 a week over and over and over...

But it is DR’s problem in more ways then one …

Gotta wonder where the person trying to recross the border comes up with that money? About $400 US right now
Right? I always have that in the back of my head. Seems like Haitains walk around with more money in their pocket than I do.

Frankly, while many will disagree, I find Haitians way more honest than Dominicans. Certainly less greedy and way harder workers. Dominicans all look for fast money.
The educated ones also seem more intelligent than your average public-educated Dominican. Most Haitians speak 3 languages. That's 2 more than Dominicans.
They could help themselves by smiling more, as many Haitians wear dower frowns that make them seem permanently mad.

Ah, you missed my point. It is not the DR's problem that Haitians living here won't survive in Haiti because they were born here , only speak Spanish, that the progressive leftists in the world want the DR to let them stay, etc...

As for Haitians being more honest than Dominicans, that has zero to do with who gets deported and does not come into play.

The article should state that the only people the DR is concerned with deporting are illegal Haitians.
The amount of non-Haitian illegal aliens deported is miniscule.

If they are illegal, all the above is irrelevent. I hope they can actually deport 500,000 that remian in Haiti.
I realize that won't actually happen.

Have a heart, man. I know a young woman, born in the DR, and her infant child, who were deported and have suffered the fate above, living on the street there. I sent a little money for a while to help them survive, but since then they have disappeared. Whether they are alive or dead I have no idea. They have done nothing to deserve this fate.
