The Director-General of Migration, Danilo D?az, announced yesterday that he will go to the JCE headquarters next Tuesday at 4:00 pm and personally deliver proof to the Board that some of voter identity cards ("cedulas") that have issued have fraudulently gone to illegal aliens, many of which are Haitians. On February 22nd D?az created a sensation by charging that the JCE was issuing cedulas to Haitian nationals. The JCE has repeatedly denied the charge, and has even trotted out its records efforts to show that the cards D?az flashed during his initial statement belong to Dominicans or aliens legally residing in the DR and pre-vetted by Migration and the National Department of Investigation (DNI), not illegal aliens. This week JCE President Manuel Ram?n Morel Cerda challenged D?az to back up his charges with concrete examples that the JCE can investigate.
