never said you were 'lying" Just indicated your facts were off when you said she was arrested regularly for looking Dominican. I still believe there is a missing component to your story. What type of work was she involved in and where was she when she was detained. The immigration is not going to stop a woman walking down the street for looking Dominican.

What status, documentation , ID, or other, allows a "Haitian" to reside in the DR
she's not a streetwalker in any way shape or form,she's just very black and that will get a person thrown in jail overnight with the sole intentions of extracting money from them. Everyone in Sosua knows this.
Like I said in my P.S., I never thought so nor was I implying that. You're not telling me anything I haven't known for a long, long time. Everyone in Cabarete and Boca Chica know that also. And a chica doesn't have to be very black for that to happen either.
To be legal, you need a visa that matches the activities you´re performing: work, study, tourism, etc. Showing a Dominican cedula is not always enough, as there are many cases of people with fake or bought cedulas. I remember this guy with a Dominican cedula but a heavy creole accent. It was not only the accent but the way he spoke Spanish. Although his cedula had common local names, and he claimed that he was born and raised here, that both his parents were also born and raised here, and had no ties to Haiti., but couldn´t explain the accent.
I know a few legal Haitians, for instance, my former teacher of french was Haitian and taught at a language academy. He was also hired by the Board of Education and appeared on many instructional educational videos that aired during the pandemic. He was with a work contract, later he got into the regularization plan. I also had a Haitian friend who had a registered business here, and another one who came here on a student visa.

Again, you are wrong because you don't know what you are talking about and obviously have no experience in this matter. First, I assume it is just typos where you say she looks Dominican. As her cedula says, she is an "Ama de Casa" (housewife). Yes, she was in the street going about her legitimate business during the day and she was stopped on suspicion of being Haitian. She was not doing anything illegal or otherwise suspicious. She was no soliciting if that is what you are implying. I have known her for thirteen years and am a sort of godfather to her children.
Enough details?
As you may have gathered, I feel very strongly about the injustice of someone being locked up just because of their appearance. You might just soften you attitude if you knew someone in a similar position, but you don't.
so do 85% of female cedulas. the other 15 say student. It means nothing
As are most people who are housewives, homemakers or whatever they are called these days. Please stop trying to score points, it's very tedious.
