Dominican Govt. to register for legalization all Haitians still on lines

Santo Domingo.- Interior and Police minister Jose Ramon Fadul Wednesday morning met with Immigration Agency director Ruben Paulino and other officials to coordinate further steps once the deadline in the program to register and legalize aliens expires 7pm today.

He said government agencies will work to register all the foreigners still on lines.

He said all foreigners who registered at the offices will be required to return with those documents in the next 45 days, when they’ll then be sent to Immigration.

Fadul said the more than 200,000 foreigners who registered for legalization can walk the streets with their documents.

Paulino said all Interior and Police data will go into a database for the computers used by patrols in the streets to identify the registered foreigners.

Meeting

Fadul added that Haitian officials will meet with Foreign minister Andrés Navarro Wednesday afternoon to discuss the alleged boycott against the legalization program.
