The director of the Department of Migration, Danilo Díaz explained that the RD$3 million for a survey of foreigners will be used for a pilot poll of the frontier area, where the largest concentration of Haitians is found. During the survey, Haitians found living in the area will be issued identity cards. Originally, demographers had thought the monies would be used for a national survey and had said that nothing worthy would result as the budget was insignificant.
