Something to think about regarding the timing of Aninader speech. The past couple of months here on DR1 we have discussed the "interpetation "of the immigration laws. One or two posters strongly suggested that this enforcement is being done only for the sake of keeping Haitians out and or deporting them.
I'm wondering if the speech wasn't some sort of pre-emptive strategy for what is to follow in criticism of his action by the world powers. Maybe I'm over thinking this subject but what do you you guys think?
There are people who think immigration laws only apply to Haitians. That all immigration laws in the DR are about Haitians in such people's minds. For those people, ignorance is bliss.
The government of the DR said they are going to enforce immigration laws , in this case there are some specific laws that apply to Haitians which could be enforced. If they enforce those laws, then the "rest of the world who wants to be" will be "outraged" as the DR starts to deport illegal Haitians. As if people outside the DR have any say in what the DR government should do in this matter.
The DR government had eased up on the big green busses rounding up and taking Haitians to the border prior to the recent elections. Perhaps those buses will start back up again, which is fully within the DR government's right to do so. Only time will tell. As far as I know, there has only been talk so far and no action regarding enforcing all of the immigration laws, not just the ones about Haitians.
