You’re also an expat and according to what some other expats have said in the recent past right here on DR1, expats are never bothered due to their immigration status. Only Haitians…
You had plastic surgery to make you look like many Haitians?
Created blackface?
Maybe wearing one of those masks that are very realistic?
There had to be something else other than immigration status, because that never happens to expats.
Especially white expats.
Citizenship by naturalization can also be revoked including if cases of immigration status fraud is detected.* That’s probably another thing that many expats think will never happen to expats because a revoked naturalized citizenship means at that moment their immigration status becomes similar as an illegal.
What percentage of the population are expats? 1%? Less? More? That’s important to know the impacts of expats in the economy.
* Such as starting the regularization process and never ending it because a simple photo of the screen showing the regularization status is pending. A good lawyer could even use the records of the overstays and how often the exit fine for exceeding the permitted days of a tourist card was paid to show such individual is capable of doing immigration fraud. A little more difficult would be proving the individual did that knowing very well what they were doing if records show it only happened once. Does Migración has the records of everyone that passes through a Dominican airport?
