What’s next for a crackdown on Haitian migrants as the Dominican Republic leader enters a new term?
I am reluctant to enter this conversation. Like in other countries the problem is far more complicated than you or I make it in our simple observations and generalizations and accusations.
Being that I recognize the demand for Haitian workers and being that I also see Haitians truly desperate, and being that I also see Haitians taking advantage of the system I I cannot judge. And for that reason and many more, who are we to be the authorities?

Completely agree Lindsey. The ones that have given up hope tear me apart. The ones that try and play the system (and me) I have no sympathy for.
The situation is simple. Deport illegals. If you need workers give them work visas.
The wall only works if you can stop the boomerang effect of paying off border guards to get back in.
On that same note, why only mention Haitians? If there would be any justice ALL illegal immigrants should be thrown out, even those who are living in big houses and pay to leave should be deported and hunted down just as the Haitians...
And also if all haitian workers would be deported, then who would be doing the constructions for a ultralow salary? The result would be that construction work would cost at least triple what they do today. Would anyone want to buy a $1 million that used to cost $300000?
It's a paradoxal world we're living in, nobody wants "illegal aliens" in their country, but in many countries they are the ones who are the foundation of the economy and are do all the work that that legal residents don't want to do. So without them economies would be even worse.
And on a side note, this weekend it was supposed to not be possible to buy drinks at bars and colmados etc.. I was at a bar multiple times and even the politur, even while "working" were drinking...
So yeah..... I don't have high expectations of any "continuous change", just the same old same old..

Because they mske up well over 80% of all illegal immigrants. The DR wouldn’t have a large illegal immigrant problem if it wasn’t for Haiti. For example, after illegal immigrants from Haiti the se ond biggest group are Venezuelans. Any sector where Venezuelans outnumber Dominican workers?
