Are you saying that the enforcement in the DR are the same for gringos and Haitians? Come on - I'm sure you know very well that there are thousands of gringos living here on expired tourist visas. They are not subject to being locked up and deported like Haitians with expired visas are.
Chellow already said everything there is to say in his post which cannot be disputed.
Your stand is not based upon DR law, but simply your opinion that Americans should get special treatment when illegal in the DR after 30 days because they don't cause problems and spend money to support illegals in the USA. Nonsense, that is.
You have a "pick and choose" mentality when it comes obeying the law. You are steadfast in supporting immigration laws yet advocate for drug usage and dealing. You are also against pay for play in Sosua on the North Coast which is legal. It is your absolute right to be a flip flopper. Immigration is a complex problem that will not be solved, ever! A child born here from an illegal entry is very difficult to deport.
You damn right, (for those who keep their noses clean) Americans should indeed be getting special treatment.
Actually most Dominicans that are in the states arrived on tourist visas and then either married an American citizen or over stay their visa. Yes, some cross the border illegally but not most.
That is saying two wrongs make a right, and I call nonsense.
LOL, I should get special treatment for not being an American. After all the countries that have invaded the DR are Haiti and the USA.
That is because I am for immigration laws to be enforced and I realize the war Nixon started against drugs has failed miserably. They are apples and oranges and I pick and choose them as I see fit. There is nothing inconsistent in that.
Prostitution is not illegal. I could care less what consenting adults do when it comes to sex and drugs. The government has other ideas.
Last I checked DR laws a child born in the DR of people legally in the DR can become a DR citizen.
If you are undocumented and/or overstay a travel visa, you are not receiving any government benefits in the US. If someone comes in applying for refuge status, they are not illegal. I don't think Dominicans are trying to get political asylum. Any benefits for Dominican born people living in the US is based on income and qualify like everyone else. Those locked up are a different story and the numbers are high. Also, let's not forget which county invaded the other county and occupied it twice. What American money is being "poured" in the DR expect for Dominican American remittences and investment.
Some interesting information I'd like to share with you. It's worth a read when you have a minute.
And only $1.5 million for Peace Corps in the DR for 2022. Did you add the numbers up for DR and Haiti? Very little for poverty reduction and most benefit the 1-2%. I did not go through the entire documents but did you find sugar subsidies included or is this the department of agriculture? That used to be the biggest number.Some interesting information I'd like to share with you. It's worth a read when you have a minute.

Well Bob, I would respond. However, I cannot decipher this post.
Well - that was how they renewed their visitor visa monthly - and this was a Dominican requirement.
If it wasn’t most Haitians in the DR wouldn’t be there, at least not as illegals. It’s beyond a fact that most Haitians that enter the DR as illegal immigrants not only never leave, but no one kicks them out either and that’s despite the deportations (many times of the same people as their returning to the DR almost as soon they are deported.) They enter and most continue to live in the DR until they die. 99% of illegal immigrants in the DR are Haitians. Not even the US has such a large percentage of its illegals are from one country.
