I don't think anyone is complaining about the Venezuelan monies put up for Agora or Sambil, plus I believe that Center with Segafredo on Lope de Vega was Venezuelan as well.
When recently in Colombia (full of Venezuelans) I had a few beers with a young lady from Maracaibo. She said in the elections a lot of people she knew were going to write in Donald Trump's name. I have had Venezuelans tell me they would like Trump to free the country of Maduro. Frankly, my opinion being from the states is that we have sent our armies into enough foreign lands, often times only to make rich people richer, i.e. Vietnam - LBJ and wife made a fortune off of their Bell Helicopter holdings and they started that war over a lie (Gulf of Tonkin) only to kill 53,000 U.S. kids and millions of Vietnamese. Halliburton and Cheney did ok for themselves in Iraq (look at that country now). Don't get me started on what Obama and Hillary did to the country of Libya.

Probably because their diet doesnt consist.of fried plantains.

Nope, it is because the surgeon's knife is more easily accessible to them than to Domi women. It's not for nothing than both that country and Brazil are the main destination as far plastic surgery goes in South America.

She kind of looks like she's wearing pompi pants.

This is the stuff that only exist on Dominican television.

Dominican journalists 'make public' the going rates of las venezolanas. Ahem, ahem... How exactly did they came up with this information?

The main journalist appears to base his information on his own field study. Ahem, ahem... lol

Quite possibly true. They do perform a bit of aesthetic surgery in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.

But it also be the derriere of a rigid exercise regimen. Dominican women are generally lazier than the other 3 nationalities. Those women would join a gym and actually put in the effort to give them a dynamo body. Dominican women would not do that, generally. They would join for 2 weeks, get discouraged that the weight it took them a decade and a half to gain they didnt lose in 14 days, quit and then squeeze themselves into girdles to retain a semblance of the figure they had 20 years ago.

A good half of the mothers dropping off their children at the school in the morning are heading to the gym, those that aren't working that early.The gym I go to is mainly populated by fit Dominicanas, some in excellent shape. When my wife and I go for our walk in the morning there are all ages, sizes, and shapes of Dominican walking , bicycling, or running the same route we use. You need to get out more.

I get out plenty. You need to get out more. Fajónes sell more than tenis shoes. Tenis shoes dont get used they get worn to be seen not utilized. You are pulling a Bob on us...Baghdad Bob to be exact. You are telling us all those svelte women you see arent wearing halter tops and girdles and waist trainers. I say "Fa-hooey!"

Seems as if someone is venting past frustrations, no?

There is half of an entire street with a median in Jarabacoa blocked off every morning specifically for exercisers.

You need to hang out with a better class of "Dominican women."

Standing on top of the steps greeting all the children and their parents every morning at the school I get a pretty up close look at Dominican women. Like everywhere there are some that need to cut down on the starches and some that dress inappropriate for body type, however it isn't that hard to detect ones that are wearing body shaping devices. Dominican women are far more into fitness than you think, at least the ones I know.

In my small group of friends, we get together 2-3 times a week to walk. We pick various places, Mirador Sur, Jardin Botanico, etc...to get in our exercise. All are Dominican women except me and another ex-pat. IMO many Dominicans are very into exercise, etc... Besides, shape wear in this heat...no thank you.

How well would the DR embrace Venezuelan immigration?

Look at the numbers and the tale has just began.

La República Dominicana solo aparece en la intención del 2 % de quienes dicen querer marcharse de Venezuela. Es decir, son unos 400,000 venezolanos más que aspiran llegar a esta nación caribeña de poco más de 10 millones de habitantes y, aunque su destino final cambie o no todos logren llegar, esa cantidad representa 16 veces la población venezolana que se calcula que ya reside en el país.
