Me either. No matter how hard I try, I just can't mimic the Dominican accent. This is very common. There are actually special courses(I don't think there are any in the DR but in the US to speak unaccented English) for non-native speakers to help them lose their accent.

What status, documentation , ID, or other, allows a "Haitian" to reside in the DR
I believe it was you who said I was lying when I mentioned my Haitian looking friend with a Dominican cedula before. You should get to know what you are talking about before calling people liars. The Immigration trucks you see are full of people who look Haitian. When you see them, you have no idea whether they are actual Haitians or people who look like Haitians. They just arrest people who look likely suspects and then let them go later when they have verified the documentation and the incentive is that even then they ask for a propina in most cases.
Here is a copy of my friend's cedula so that you can stop accusing me of lying:
Very pretty girl, but she does look Haitian to me. There are some noticeable general and somewhat common physical differences though. Take the chicas on PC for example. Most of the Haitian girls are pretty slender whereas the Dominican ones kind of remind me of migrating whales.
I know a woman in the same situation,I posted this when you last posted it,Born in the DR,has a Dominican cedula that I have held in my hand,doesn't know a single word of creole and has never been to Haiti but she is black as the ace of spades. Has spent several nights in jail in Sosua and has paid bribes to be released,I paid it once,directly to the chief a$$hole in charge.
They may be picked up on suspicion of being an illegal Haitian but they aren't held in jail on suspicion of being an illegal Haitian,they are held in order to extract money from them.
A person's heritage is NO reason to hold a person that is a Dominican citizen with proper ID,period. But you know that,you just hate Haitians.
I do not see at all where Bob has ever indicated he hates Haitians, so that statement is very unjust. I will add that while she has papers, etc.,.having Haitian heritage may be the reason she continues to have this issue. Not saying it is fair, but it could be a reason. My in-laws experienced this several times with their former housekeeper. She was legal and had her papers but continued to be stopped.
You must have taken your "woke is me pill" today. No, I don't hate Haitians or anyone else for that matter. He was talking about his friend being profiled as a Haitian when she has a cedula (and is Dominican). In the original discussion about his friend being arrested several times and let go later, he mentioned that she was of Haitian descent, thus looking like a Haitian. Put on your thinking cap and engage your synapsis. One of our Haitian clients just got stopped this morning while bring her son to the school. She thankfully has a current work visa and always carries her passport with her.
It seems like there is more to the story(?). A lot of the chicas, Dominican and Haitian, get picked up and thrown in jail, but they're all usually out the very next day after paying a small "fine".
Synapses Bob. This is where your Haldol is working for you. In the nerve synapse! This is why when you come off your meds, the synapses flood with all that crazy!
You have some serious issues to take care of.
I did. But that's no reason to throw her in jail when she is completely legal.
Like I said before, it's ridiculous that they can't verify a cedula on the spot to prevent this from happening.
