Ministry of the Interior and Police denies authorization for Haitian diaspora march
Santo Domingo.- The Ministry of the Interior and Police has denied authorizing the march planned for Saturday the 15th by the Haitian diaspora in the eastern part of the country.
Vice Minister Juan Manuel Rosario emphasized that the Ministry firmly upholds its immigration policy in line with current regulations. These regulations prohibit the presence of foreigners who are not compliant with the law and the Constitution.
Rosario stated that attempting to coerce the Dominican State through marches or other forms of protest to disregard its immigration policies and laws is counterproductive to social peace, citizen security, and public order in the Dominican Republic. He noted that such actions would violate Law No. 285-04 on migration and necessitate the Ministry of the Interior and Police to enforce article 122, paragraph 1 of the Immigration Law.
He reminded that neither foreigners nor nationals advocating for these positions are permitted to engage in activities within the national territory that contravene internal regulations or the broader principles of international law.
I certainly understand their concerns, but when will the leaders deal with the graft and theft their officers impose on people when they detain them. Haitians (with or without papers) are subject to paying thousands of pesos to the Police (individuals) to be allowed to return when they have had their papers inspected. Holding people hostage for personal gain should not be supported by this Administration, as it weakens their image with the rest of the world. It should not cost a LEGAL immigrant thousands of dollars to be repatriated to their family. There is no excuse for this activity, and it is done daily to dozens of people.
Agree.. Authorities need to do a better job at eliminating corrupt practices in the detention and deportation process. Too many illegal migrants coming in and out of the country and the ones who ARE legal are being abused habitually.
I SEE AND KNOW AND THEY ARE JUST AFTER MONEY AS ALWAYS! WHAT A JUDGEMENT THAT WILL COME TO THEM!
YOU HAVE TREATED THESE PEOPLE WHO DO A LOT OF HARD LABOR IN THIS COUNTRY AS TRASH AND LESS THAN HUMANS FOR A LONG LONG TIME, ALL WHILE YOUR GOVERNMENT IS SUPER CORRUPT AND THIEVES ARE ENDEMIC IN THE CULTURE. THE HAITIANS ARE A PART OF THE GLOBAL AFRICAN FAMILY AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT OF RETURN ALONG WITH OTHER DIASPORANS. WE DONT WANT WHAT YOU GOT, FOR YOU DONT HAVE NOTHING BUT AN ANGRY GOD WHO IS READY TO SERVE JUSTICE UPON YOU ALL FINALLY! SUBMIT OR SEE WHAT HAPPENS HERE! COUNT DOWN…..
Smocking crack before commenting online is not a good thing to do.
Another perfect example of why they should just be eliminated. Who talks like this?
it is so interesting that , they need their labor. God is watching. I would never tolerate someone to mistreat a God’s creature no matter what nationality they are.80 % of the population is mixed Haitians I don’t understand what the country stand by and look at the mistreating of the people that are building houses put food on their table. God bless Haiti an the DR united we are strong.
