A story in yesterday’s New York Times points out some of the difficulties faced by Haitian immigrant workers. The story recounts the violence that has plagued some areas in the northwest of the Dominican Republic ever since a robbery in Hatillo Palma left a woman dead and her husband wounded. The reporter, Ginger Thompson, also tells of the problems that Father Pedro Ruquoy had been facing prior to his departure from the DR last week.
