please help me understand ?
is this the law in the US too? This whole thing is totally unbelievable. No wonder there are so many posts out there on DR1 warning tourists to beware. People with good as well as bad intentions are everywhere not just the DR, but is life really that bad there that this sort of thing happens so often. And how does this happen. I got sucked in just a little if anyone has read any of my other posts. But thank goodness thats all behind me now. How does a person just wait, plan and continue to deceive another human being for months, if not years. I could never be a sankie. I am just too impatient, and I would never want to intentionally hurt, swindel, lie, cheat another out of everything. with so many tourists coming and going wouldnt it be enough to just work them while they are there. what is this long drawn out web of deception for. cant they save up enough from the "business" they have to pay for their own way out. I dont know the immigration laws or the process, but if the bottom line is to get out of the country, and get a green card, why take down so many victims in order to "better" yourself. If they have all this time on their hands, than cant they just apply for a visa, or apply for a green card. What are they going to do for a living in another country once they are there ? if they have just one skill, than are they going to continue to use that on their resumes. Or do they usually look for work on Broadway, or in musicals, or pursue acting as a career. What is the end results? what is accomplished. I am just too stupid to see the big picture. Or, just too American, and been blessed with the opportunities to work hard, save my money, work harder, grow old, keep working, and than die. I guess the difference is what I can buy along the way. I guess that old saying about: "he who dies with the most toys wins " is that what its all about. People live in poverty everywhere. Dont ruin someone elses life to change yours. get up and do something to help yourself, work hard, save your money, work harder, grow old, keep working, and than die. its all the same. And heck, people who live in the DR at least wake up everyday to a beautiful country and a beautiful ocean all around them.Maybe life isnt as it is in a resort area, but it isnt like that anywhere else either. why do us Americans travel to the DR for a little R and R and to take in the beauty of the island home these sankies are just robbing others to get out of. Where the heck are we all going anyway ? I guess none of us really know just what we have, or what our blessings are. Sometimes we just forget to look and value what we do have. Please help me, I am ignorant. I better get off theis computer, I'm getting depressed, and its Sunday evening, so tomarrow its back to being 1 day older, and still working harder and harder. ( I do know I have a lot to be thankful for, but especially on Sunday evening its hard to remember, when Monday morning rolls around so quick )
