BiggerIf they repatriate 10,000 Haitians a week, who would sell the fruits and build the houses in the DR?
National Territory – The measure announced by the Government to deport approximately more than 10,000 Haitians weekly has uncovered several pipes in different lines of society, from the informal sector to the highest levels of construction.
The figures offered by several institutions agree that, for example, on the construction ladder, Haitian illegals represent more than 75 percent of the workers.
According to businessmen and representatives of the area, this provision would represent a “collapse for the line.”
The undocumented not only have control of the area, but they have also marked their territory in the informal economy and public transportation, as denounced by several drivers’ unions, who ask for the intervention of the authorities.
Between the mixture of the lack of Dominican labor and the displacement in other areas, although some support deportations, others say that the entry of undocumented immigrants responds to the government’s lack of control, and to that extent, they do not see the solution to the problem.
Specialists such as Magín Díaz believe that the breakdown of trade relations with Haiti, the DR’s main trading partner, would affect one aspect.
This is confirmed by the report published in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which details that more than 800 million dollars represented the export of different products to the neighboring country in 2023 alone.
. If you don’t take drastic measures. Haitians will be the majority in the Dominican Republic . Are this people stupid. It will be another Kosovo
what happened to kosovo?
illegal immigrants literally took over the country in kosovo. they literally formed their own government
Are minorities not treated well in the RD?
Before they started hiring illega haitians, Dominicans did those jobs…
It’s all greed. They pay the Haitians less and keep the rest.
You would have to pay Dominicans legal wages. Then there’s the learning curve of ex bosses who suddenly cant treat the employees like human garbage. Should be quite the show. do it.
Also, there are not enough Dominicans that know the trade. The industry is too large and growing larger by the day.
That’s BS, they learn or their competitors will.
The key word is control, control. only half the Haitians in the DR perform labor that’s actually productive, and it’s at a predatory salary, the rests are just getting by anyway they can.
1 USD equal 60 DOP. y Manana 1 USD equal 70 DOP
I have been saying this for a while, now. This will be a swift lesson for those that agreed to this crazy plan.
They do jobs that don’t need to be done and the jobs they do they are exploited. Who pays for the education of their children and their medical bills? They are in DR because they can’t eat in Haiti and employers take adavantage of that. Rather than pay Dominicans a lving wage they take advantage of Haitians. That’s just the 50% that are productive, what about the rests? The xes workers, the child workers, the ones eating a meal per day. Do you think that annually accepting 300,000-400,000 benefits anyone? A small group of people benefit from Haitian labor, the country pays for it.
You are just making up percentages based on your bias. It is likely much higher on the “productive” side.
Who is going to do the job? Let me rephrase that question: who are employers going to exploit if it’s not these irregular immigrants? Why have border control? Who is paying for the education of the children of these people? Who paying the medical bills? DR is not an empire with mountains of wealth and military power. We are a developing nation with exagerrated levels of inequality that this migration situation is exacerbating. Send them to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Arabia, and let them work over there. If Europe and the US can’t handle the migrant crisis why would the DR?
I welcome anyone to answer any of my questions.
Who brought them here?, who brought you here?, your ancestors? they come against their will? they come here willing?. you’re colonizors. where are the indigienous inhabiters of this island? what happened after they were gone and thier was no one to build these 2 countries? your ancestors created this problems. the governments of france and spain. and now today, the governments of the RD and Haiti. Not the haitian or dominican civilians, theyre are just trying to survive. The rich and ruling class always use the poor and defenseless to hold power. If they can divide you, they can control you. No birthrite citizenship for both countries , anywhere else in the americas?, bang you’re citizen no questions asked. They use 6% of the schools and 10% of the healthcare, but I bet you believe its higher, dont you?. Ive never met a Haitian or a Dominican that didnt deserve education or healthcare. Go ahead get rid of all of them, every last one. Nothing will change,Nothing. I hope the DR gets rid of all the Haitians
greedy employers brought them here
Total expenditures for undocumented migrants in 2024 Healthcare 14.5% of 6.1 % of gdp Is 3/4 of 1 %. Education is 6.5% of 3.9% of GDP is 1/2 of 1 %. Total costs of undocumented migrants 1.25 % of overall GDP.
related government expenditures
Construction 15.8 % of GDP
Agriculture 11.3 % of GDP
Expect those to go up as the undocumented work force is depleted. keep in mind this is just the public expenditures for Construction and Agriculture. The private sector is alot larger so these costs will all affect the costs of housing, food and building materials directly and immediately. should be quite the show
I am a canadian who married a Haitian lady in 2023 and she was waiting her canadian visa to join me in canada but they deported her on saturday and I don’t know what to do!!
