Santiago Mayor says too many Haitians violate laws
Santiago Mayor Abel Martínez complained of having to wage war on undocumented Haitians for their constant violations of the laws and municipal regulations. He criticized the immigrants constantly invade public spaces creating slum-like conditions in different parts of Santiago and that the city needs the support of the central government authorities to combat the situation. Martinez called for the implementation of policies that impose immediate deportation of people residing illegally in country. The Mayor urged the migration authorities to act quickly and resolutely.
“Although my statement may seem harsh, this is a desperate cry for help to save the country from the ongoing Haitian invasion that is depredating our forests, occupying public spaces, defecating, urinating, assaulting, begging on streets, consuming our budget of public health, without paying taxes, situations that must be remedied and soon," said the Mayor in a press release.
He criticized the irresponsibility of the authorities in charge of immigration and called for them to apply the law. He said that to allow millions of undocumented Haitians to reside in the country is unacceptable. He called for the international community to help Haitians who live and work in Haiti. "At the rate we are going, soon there will be more Haitians in our territory than Dominicans and that is unacceptable. It is time for us to act responsibly, with patriotic criteria and without fear," he said.
Martinez regretted that on a daily basis there are thousands who enter through an essentially open border, joining the millions who are already here without legal status, due to the indifference of the authorities, to lack of urgency or concern with which this delicate issue is being handled by the pertinent government institutions.

Abel Martínez's remodeling of the main entrance to Santiago is complete.
The heart looks odd. Santiago is also known as Ciudad Corazón (Heart City), hence the heart symbol.

Abel Martínez supervises the instalation of LED lights on the Salvador Sadhalá Avenue. Apparently Santiago is making the change to the brighter, more economical, and (according to studies) crime reducing LED.

Santiago is not the first Dominican city to get LED lighting. Odebrecht installed this type of lighting on many of its projects, especially in the tunnels, underpasses, and elevados that they built or improved. The same applies to several of their road projects in the interior of the country.
But, from what I can tell, it appears that Abel Martínez is going to switch most lighting along the major avenues of Santiago to LED. That would definitely make Santiago the first Dominican city with relatively widespread LED lighting.
There are also many businesses that have LED lighting on their parking lots (a perfect example is the Supermercados Nacional on the Sadhalá Avenue which is visible in the video.)
