The mayor of Dajabón continues to denounce military are taking bribes to allow the entry of undocumented Haitians. Mayor Santiago Riverón said that despite the apparent tightening of controls in the circulation of undocumented Haitians, the mafia that allows their entry for a price has not been eradicated.
Riverón again calls for the government to increase the number of personnel working in the Migration Agency in the province and more support to its work logistics. “Migration works with bare hands, apart from the fact that the personnel that the institution has is not enough”, affirmed the mayor of one of the border towns of the Dominican Republic where there is more traffic of Haitians.
Riveron said the Migration inspectors in Dajabon are responsible for other border cities in Santiago Rodriguez, Montecristi and Valverde, which in his opinion hinders their performance.
Riveron denounced that there are military officers at the border points who are engaged in receiving bribes to allow the entry of illegal foreigners to Dominican soil. He did not mention which uniformed officers are involved in this practice nor the places where it is being carried out, but he assured that it is a reality.
