The Metropolitan Archbishop of Santiago, Monsignor Freddy Antonio Breton has warned that there has been a mass entry of undocumented Haitians to the Dominican Republic in recent weeks, mainly through the mountain ranges around the municipality of San Jose de las Matas. He called on the government to prevent Haitians from entering through this area, by establishing military controls while respecting human rights.
He criticized the military for the frequent practice of arresting the Haitians trying to enter illegally, but then letting them go in return for a bribe.
