Good omens emerge in relation to the Dominican Republic and the US

What Marco Rubio has just said in a hearing in the U.S. Senate, whose confirmation as Secretary of State in the new administration of Donald Trump is taken for granted, must have generated the hope that our country will receive from the Government that will take the reins of the United States as of January 20 the best response it has received so far to its long-standing demands for the community to be able to international cooperation contributes to generating the conditions to stabilize Haiti and, consequently, overcome the problems of insecurity that worry its society, with consequences for the Dominican Republic, which is forced to deal with an overflowing and chaotic migratory flow.

Rubio acknowledged that “people don’t talk enough about the Dominican Republic,” which “faces a real challenge because of Haiti, because of the instability of the neighboring country.”

He also considered that our country deserves greater attention, highlighting that “the Dominican Republic is among the countries that are doing well, along with Argentina and Ecuador.”
To support his assessment, he explained that the Dominican Republic was one of the countries that came out of COVID-19 the fastest and recovered its economy, not only tourism, thanks to its strategy in the face of the challenge posed by the confinement due to the pandemic.

If we season Marco Rubio’s words with Donald Trump’s statement that “Dominicans are great” in a meeting at his official residence at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, in which the Dominican businessman Frank Elías Jorge participated, the good omens rise to a level that leads to optimism.

Both Rubio’s and Trump’s statements confirm the expectation that the bilateral relationship will be highlighted during the new U.S. administration. President Luis Abinader has the U.S., who on Monday, December 2, said that he hopes to maintain with U.S. President-elect Donald the same relationship that they had in the last months of the Republican’s first government in 2020, which he described as “very good.”

A better bilateral relationship can have repercussions in all areas, with an emphasis on international cooperation to overcome the Haitian crisis.

It is true that, after many demands fell into the void, some steps have been taken in that direction, such as the intervention of the multinational military force led by Kenya. Still, it has not been able to contain the gangs. Haiti has not achieved its economic, political, social, and electoral stability, so much more needs to be done so that the conditions that make it livable are created in the neighboring country.

Only in this way will we ensure that Haiti’s problems cease to be the main threat to the economic, social, and even political sustainability of the Dominican Republic, preventing migratory chaos from overflowing the country with the reduction of the flow of immigrants to the levels dictated by normality.

Thank you, Mr. Rubio, for the acknowledgement. It’s good to know we have the Republicans on our side.

If you SEAL the border you will not have that big a problem. and then watch the coastal waters for these leaches to try to come in.
