Miami Herald feature on Haitian migration to DR

The Miami Herald reports on the plight of Haitians who encounter hardships when migrating to the DR. The newspaper highlights their worse situation at home and also focuses on the high social cost to the DR of the massive immigration of impoverished people and the Dominican government’s efforts to improve living conditions in Haiti. “We need to improve the economy in Haiti so that they won’t need to come here anymore,” Luis González Fabra, spokesman for President Hipolito Mejia, told the reporter. =http://www.miami.com/herald/content/news/americas/digdocs/057960.htm
