The DR government has a campaign to remove 1,000 illegals a week. Why don't they remove the illegals instead of having marches against illegals?
Just a thought.
The only one that can touch an illegal and deport them is Migración. Beyond that, the rest can show their approval or discomfort with anything Migración does through the vote and/or protests.That's basically it.
Migración is financed by the government since it's a part of the government with funds that are collected by tax payers. All the people that work there are paid with funds mostly provided by Dominican tax payers (the same in cases of loans since the government makes the payments from funds it gets mostly from Dominican tax payers.) Also, Dominicans are the ones that voted into power whomever decided who is the director of Migración too. Hence, the government can't impede any protests by Dominican regarding its discomfort with anything the government does.
The march in Hoyo de Friusa isn't directed at the Haitians that live there. The message is for the government and Hoyo de Friusa was chosen due to the recent disturbances by Haitians in the area* and since it's one of the areas with a high concentration of illegal immigrants. The protest in Úvero Alto left burning vehicles as if it was done in Port-au-Prince. While it was a protests done by Haitians, they aren't in Haiti. That's a sign of Haitianization of the DR, a problem the Antigua Orden Dominicana is blaming the Dominican government for allowing this to reach this level since the basic culprit is it's control (or lack of) border controls and immigration into the DR. At no point Haitians themselves are blamed for illegally immigrating (since anyone would do the same given the situation in Haiti) or the Haitian government. All the blame are on the Dominican authorities since they are the ones that didn't made more difficult for illegal immigration into the DR.
The only issue is that some Haitians seem to be taking this personally and the more inclined to violence and criminal activities are threatening against the leaders of this march as they want the march not to happen. Not even the Dominican government can deny permission to any Dominican protesting in the DR. Maybe in Haiti they are able to stop some protests on the basis of threats, but once that border is crossed it isn't Haiti.
*One of the things that alarmed them and lead to this march being planned is that the recent disturbance by Haitians in Úvero Alto included things like burning of vehicles and a forest fire when burning of vehicles haven't happened in a Dominican protests for decades.
