Minister of Foreign Relations Eduardo Latorre says the Executive Branch will soon present a modified Migration Bill to the National Congress. The bill will establish new rulings regarding the situation of foreigners in the DR. While the main focus of the bill is to provide a legal framework for the thousands of Haitians that are illegally crossing the frontier between the DR and Haiti, it will regulate the status of foreigners of any other nationality. The Dominican Migration Law dates to 1939.
