ridiculous
This is a financial punishment of the people because the government is not able to control the illegal human trafficking at the border. It is the same unbalanced thinking used by government to fight street violence and thefts by banning two passengers on a moto after 11 pm that will cause good people who need night transportation to suffer.
WE ARE NOT HAITI! ? The UN and the US create a crisis in Haiti, don’t do anything to resolve it and coarse DR government to pass a law to protect so called refugees or illegals in order to facilitate all the Haitians to invade or take over DR.
They need to stay in their country and be help by the rich nations. FOH
If they approve that law the entire Haiti will cross the border in to DR to get free housing, healthcare, work and everything else. I’m pretty sure Haitians are happy to come and enjoy all the benefits of the nation that we Dominican have built since 1492. That has always been the agenda of the international community and the reason why they do nothing to end the Haitian crisis.
The president of the Duartiano Institute, Wilson Gómez Ramírez, rejected on Wednesday the bill This project of “interference and manufacturing of foreign interests” and only seeks to undermine national sovereignty, not observing the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of States.
He asked the deputies and senators to reject it.
The leader of civil society stated that this piece of legislation introduced by the Executive Branch is detrimental to the citizenry, on which it puts all the weight of financing the people to protect.
He expressed that this legislative piece, of which the Senate of the Republic is empowered, entails a serious attack against the territorial integrity of the Dominican Republic.
In addition, it constitutes “a new incentive in the policy of massive settlement in its territory of people, mainly of Haitian nationality.”
“All of this reaches greater edgings of seriousness, at a time when an incontrovertible threat looms against our country, determined by the very serious crisis that Haiti is experiencing and the inexplicable indifference that the international community has assumed in the face of the problem,” he continued.
