Venancio Alcantara Valdez, the Director General of Migration (DGM), issued a warning this past Saturday, stating that the Dominican Republic is a sovereign nation with its own laws and will not permit any foreigner to enter to “make a mockery of our territory” and that controls and deportations of those who enter the country illegally will continue. According to him, during the months of September and October, 23, 450 undocumented Haitians were repatriated, and the process will continue in accordance with the Migration Law’s provisions, which the Dominican justice system has applied laxly.
Since it is our commitment to uphold the law and establish the game’s rules, the official stated, “We are reviewing the work done by immigration personnel at the border, in the nation’s capital, and in other towns. He argued that the three Venezuelan women who were being held here should not be sent back because they were never imprisoned but rather were safe in the shelter while they went through the legal procedures.
One of those foreigners, he said, had applied to the Venezuelans-only plan, but the detainees had entered the country illegally from Haiti and were being dealt with as a result of their irregular immigration status. They were delayed because we had to handle all the paperwork, but he claimed that they were happy and smiling as a result of our assistance in getting them back to their homes.
Here we go! Looking for more money in his budget? So, this official kicking up a pile of dust about sovereignty when less said is better.
