In Azua, the G-2 Intelligence Directorate and Army officers detained three Dominicans at the KM.15 Checkpoint for transporting 18 undocumented Haitians. The individuals, identified as Domingo Segura, Ramón Medrano Villar, and Álvaro Sánchez Sánchez, will face charges for human trafficking. The vehicles and detained Dominican citizens were taken to the local Infantry Battalion headquarters, while the undocumented Haitians were handed over to the National Directorate of Migration.
Illegal immigration began in 1492.
Perfecto.
“Irregular” means they were born and raised in the Dominican Republic. This is for the people that do not know much about these things.
Irregular can mean they have expired or improper documentation, such as people who overstay their visas for example, it does NOT mean they were born or raised in DR.
It means that, as well. It can, also, mean they had Dominican and Haitian parents and was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. I witnessed that personally.
