Selling out your country $77 at a time.

That's not news..

The question is...how did he make it across the border and how much of that $77 went to corrupt immigration???

Nygirl, that's your people.

Is that a cage, or a gate?

I really thought it was, and it is. That's spinach inside waiting for her lunch. Lol.

Shows how cheap life is here. 3000RD and you can get across the border.That is quite cheap.

it looks like that guy doesn't have a 3000 pesos to cross over, can you send them some canadians dollars we need some more sugar cutters.

II seriously think this man ran out of money paying for all this people at the many different check points he just did not have enough money to pay the last check point at La Linea so the corrupted militants at this point send them back to get more money which should be send to jail but that does never happened.

They arrested the traficker, but what happened to the 11 Haitians ?

Anyway this illegal alien bull crap is nothing but a big hugh, on going and never ending monopoly game. The traficker can be directed to jail in three ways: by landing on the Go to Jail space, by drawing a "Go to Jail" Chance or Community Chest card, or by rolling three consecutive doubles.

In any of these cases, the player moves directly into jail, without collecting the $3000 pesos for passing Go. A traficker in jail remains there until he/she does one of the following: opts to pay a bailout to the corrupt officials, or spend a "Get out of Jail Free" card, before rolling the dice

The only thing he did, was not paying the corrupt Dominican police. Ask any of the thousands of illegal Haitians here, how they got into the country - even without a passport. Everybody will tell the same: My agent paid at ALL the controls along the way!!! That's the truth nobody wants to know.

NYguy35 talk about selling out a country? helloooo?

my bet is that he has no money to pay bail and no money to get reduced sentance and no permanent address to get a release so he will just rot in prison or be extradited

The Inconvenient Truth about bad policy and even worse PURPLE Legislation!


“There will have to be a better grounding of the regulation of migration in the Dominican Republic”

"The objective of regularizing the Haitian immigration could be affected by the high costs for the recruitment of workers which only large companies can absorb"

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.-The demanded General Regulation Law of Migration 285-04 respondent, which took seven years for approval, contains rules so difficult to implement that they are forcing a de facto flexibility by virtue of a eight months after its enactment on October 19
.
Costs being imposed for the recruitment of migrant workers (to be understood Haitians), which are estimated between 20 and 30 thousand pesos per person, are so high that they will not be able to afford them or by the majority of the contracting parties, which could frustrate the fundamental objective of the regularization.

Continued:

Regularize, not penalize

Regulation 631-11 took more than seven years for its elaboration, since the promulgation of law General of migration 285-04 in August 2004 after the Government of Hipólito Mejía and was promulgated by President Leonel Fernandez on October 19 2011, amid a widespread clamor on the need to regulate the Haitian Immigration spurred by the trafficking in persons and business interests.

The General Directorate of migration (DGM) had set a time to put it into force, which exired last June 1, but then ran into the REALITY THAT IS VIRTUALLY UNENFORCEABLE, proceeding to negotiate with the main associations of agricultural producers and the construction industry that are the largest Haitian labor contractors.

continued:

New deadlines have been negotiated with the Dominican Agribusiness Board (JAD) and the Association of builders and promoters of housing to least try to regularize workers who are employed by these sectors, a high proportion of which are undocumented immigrants. Business leaders have not objected to the regulations, but primarily claim they should not be penalized. They want to see the State "as a facilitator, not as punisher".

continued:

On his part the migration director, José Ricardo Taveras, had to recognize this week before the Corripio communications group, that the regulation not can be applied in its totally immediately, but by stages, with flexibility, although calling on the Contracting Parties to initiate negotiations to regularize their immigrant workers, and he even promised to reduce some of the costs, but at least the leaders of the JAD believe that reduction in costs must be radical for the majority of the Contracting Parties, thousands of small and medium producers, can afford to begin the regularization.

continued:

Inefficient procedure

The regulation is based on a conception of immigration for developed nations, who hire workers in their countries of origin, trying to ignore that there are already hundreds of thousands interned here and who work mainly in farming and the construction industry, economic sectors that depend on the Haitian labor, in agriculture between 60 and 80 per cent, and in construction over 60 percent.

Section XI, articles 69-79 sets the "Procedure for admission as a person non-resident in the Sub-category of worker individual temporary or contingent", which refers to Haiti for those who already work here so that they can provide records of birth, identity card, passport, visa to enter the country, medical and good conduct certificates duly translated into Spanish, with apostilles and legalized by a Dominican Consulate.

continued:

It is estimated that the proportion Haitian immigrants that have passports and Dominican visas doed not even reach 10 percent, also the percentage of those who have no identity card or birth certificate is very high, which means that not only do they have to return to Haiti to start their regularization, but also initiate there an exhaustive long and expensive process of paperwork exceeding their financial possibilities.

There are those who consider that the procedure would have been more viable if assumed the reality and developed a regularization mechanism here in collaboration with the Haitian consular authorities. Or if we proceeded to register and regulate, with national identity card, those that the Contracting Parties documented as employees. That would mean recognizing that a high proportion of Haitian migrants lack official documents of identity.

continued:

Which would contribute to the ultimate objective, which is not supposed be punitive, but to adjust , control and reduce the flows of immigrants and even to start a process of rational repatriation of surpluses, at the same time ensuring a high proportion of already essential labor.

A very high cost

The Executive Chairman of the JAD, Osmar Benitez maintains that just part of some of the 258 agro-industrial and 200 livestock companies could pay the high costs resulting from the regularization of the migrant workers, which would be impossible for more than 10,000 small and medium agricultural producers employing between 10 and 25 day laborers, only for planting season or harvest. Leaders in the builders associations make the same arguments.

continued:

The JAD has estimated the cost to regulate every Haitian worker varies between 20 and 30 thousand pesos, sum that falls on the Contracting Parties, aggravating the already high costs of agricultural producers and its competitive difficulties even in the domestic market. With the added aggravating circumstance that after regularizing a worker, the contractor has no mechanism to compel him to remain at his service, unless they become farms or construction CONCENTRATION CAMPS. Drop-outs involve another cost, because if they cannot be repatriated, the DGM would execute the bond guarantee that must pay for each contracted worker.

continued:

The highest cost which has established the DGM own for issuing a migration ID card, so far 15,000 pesos payable in cash, that Taveras has promised to reduce to 14 thousand. The Haitian Passport comes out to US $80 dollars and the Dominican visa theoretically to $US 90 dollars, while consulates charge up to US $200 dollars. Even at the minimum of $170 US in passport and visa, equivalent to 6 thousand 630 pesos the cost already are more than 20 thousand pesos. When add you the costs to obtain records of birth, identity card, medical and good behavior certifications with their translation and legalization, plus the bond guarantee, individual cost exceed 30 thousand pesos, and that’s excluding the bribes at the border, the contract of employment and the registration fee at the Ministry of Labor.

continued:

An extreme dependency

Apparently those responsible for the regulation of migration, imbued with a nationalist spirit, disregarded the extreme national dependence on Haitian labor, which began with the sugar industry at the beginning of the last century, but which was extended in the last four decades to almost all agricultural production, be it the export of bananas and cocoa or in products for domestic consumption such as rice coffee and horticulture, as well as the thriving industry of construction, public and private, on which the Dominican economy has based its growth and modernization.
Although the Labor Code stipulates that the proportion of employees has to be a ratio of a minimum of 80 percent Dominican and maximum 20 per cent of foreigners in the agro-industry, the livestock and construction, in actuality the revers in the case, with proportions up to 80 percent Haitian, as recognized by the Agriculture Minister last year.

continued:

The Dominicans first began abhorring the canfields then all agriculture work, later construction, and recently street sales. Contradictorily Dominicans who immigrate in small boats to Puerto Rico, risking their lives, where they work in agriculture and construction, supporting the criterion that low wages and difficult working conditions in the country are crucial.

Farmers have chosen to immigrate to urban slums and opt for works such as the motoconcho, encouraged by phenomena such as the "New York Chiquito" and cement planted in large urban concentrations. The reality is that it is easier and less expensive to obtain funding for an motorcycle or a junk on four wheels than for agricultural production.

continued:

As annually the country became more dependent on the Haitian labor, a hypocritical nationalist discourse developed, without the most minimum efforts to control or regulate immigration, to the extent that it took two decades to update the law on migration and its regulations, to discover now that at least the latter has no chance of effective implementation giving a pretext for employers to maintain their levels of exploitation of a surplus labor pool that is incapable of making the most minimal demands.

copy and paste:the only thing Jose Ano is good at..

This is exactly why one can not address the immigration issuew without addressing the corruption that is tolerated, encouraged and taught to the younger generations. As long as there is a willing Dominican to pay to smuggle them in, there will always be a problem with the Haitian immigration issue.

@andujar



Hey andujar...
Spinach is your old enemy Josean..disguised with another nick..
Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Santiago is the trampolin of the Haitian problem. Pretty soon Haitian will outnumber Santiaguero in the city. And to think that the only Haitian you saw back in the 80's and early 90's in Santiago was the little kid from bateyes selling peanut (mani) in the streets.

Really Bernard??? Always blaming Dominicans for Haitians plight. So according to you if the Dominicans stop getting bribes from the Haitians, The massive Haitian exodus will stop??? Well you wrong and you know it, trying to defend your people at our expense is not working lately.

THIS IS HOW THE HATIANS CROSS THE BORDER:
I was just sent this info:

"There are two clandestine border crossings. These routes both land ones, and are used by night.
In one of the crossings they enter DR at the heavily forested area Northwest of Hondo Valle. Haitians travelers walk down to the Sierra de Neiba south of El Cercado and down to Vallejuelo, then to the highway leading to San Juan de la Maguana. They also may travel by walking down toward Galván and then to the bateyes near Neiba. Once in the Bateye they link up with the Barahona highway!

The second crossing is around the south of Bánica, where the Haitian cross the Artibonite river waiting few hours before the sunrise, then walk up the mountain via the East, arriving early evening north of Sabaneta. Once in Sabaneta the Haitians walk down to the town of Juan de Herrera and going toward the highway, to San Juan de la Maguana and the rest.

Continues...

continuation..

These Haitians, AND YES, NOT cesfront as they want the world to believe, have a sophisticated system of clandestine motorcycle (motoconcho) transportation, with stations within sight of military stations.

Haitians crossing at these points don’t bribe anyone, for there is not anyone around there to bribe. The Haitians have their own nailed down secretive transportation system that transports them anywhere in the DR.
Also, many of these Haitians are squatering all the houses and properties along the central frontera region abandoned by the real Dominicans who are migrating to towns and cities."


As you can see our men in the CESFRONT and the military are partly blamed for getting bribes from Haitians, since is all lies made up by the Haitians and their army of NGOS and friends in order to discredit Dominicans.

What's up with the vertical writing ????
