The Dominican government plans to integrate religious groups, the civil society and organizations that defend Haitian immigrants into the work involved in the migratory census, as reported in El Caribe newspaper. While offering details about the census, government spokesman Roberto Rodriguez compared the situation of Haitians in the country to the migratory conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians. The government will use human rights advocates to locate all Haitians and ensure that their rights are respected. The census is expected to detect Haitians who have obtained Dominican ID cards and birth certificates illegally. At a press conference at the Presidential Palace, Rodriguez and the Police Department press officer, Rafael Nunez, assured there would not be massive expulsion of illegal Haitians. They said that the number of Haitians that will be returned to Haiti would be decided after the census. The census will also determine whether foreigners have committed crimes as well as where they work.
