Santo Domingo.- Amid Haiti’s ongoing humanitarian crisis and escalating violence, both government and opposition senators in the Dominican Republic have expressed opposition to a complete border closure. Instead, they advocate for increased controls to prevent the illegal entry of Haitian migrants.
Ruling party Senator Alexis Victoria Yeb argued that closing the four border points would negatively impact the provinces that rely heavily on binational trade. Similarly, Senator Santiago Zorrilla suggested strengthening border controls to prevent the undocumented migration of Haitians.
The opposition, represented by Fuerza del Pueblo, supports increased surveillance along the border to manage the situation. Senator Antonio Marte emphasized the need for measures targeting sectors that employ undocumented Haitian workers.

Strengthening border controls has to include the arrests of the border mafias to include the military enablers.
Completely agree
Just like fixing a broken water pipe. SHUT OFF the water. Fix the leak. RESTART a CONTROLLED Flow. Works the same for a broken border.
It is not the same. The plumbers do a sloppy job and the leak begins again.

So if I understand they want Haitian labor and money but they don’t want them because they are black, well don’t touch the money that come from a black nation. why they don’t have a legal process to immigrate and provide visas to some that are illegible which is all Haitians because the is good for DR economy .All the foolishness is about race and you know all the above . All the black soldiers are Haitian descents but they don’t understand the clowns that call themselves white are laughing at them when they see them mistreating their own blood.Wake DR you are a black nation don’t fall for the trap Haitians are not all criminals and poor they hard working people , loving people that’s why we never retaliate and wrong our Dominican brothers and sisters , WAKE UP WAKE WAKE UP IN GOD’S SIGHT THERE IS NO BLACK OR WHITE WE WERE ALL CREATED EQUAL. MARANATHA, CRISTO YA VIENE. QUE VIVA HISPANOLA!!
The amount of wokeness and nonsense in this paragraph is hysterical. So according to your argument, all countries should just have open borders with no type of control or oversight?…
Haiti is effectively a failed state with a “government” that doesn’t even issue ID’s and birth certificates to most of its citizens. That is why it’s almost impossible for most Haitians to obtain residency in DR, because 1) 99% of them cross over ILLEGALLY and 2) They don’t even have a document to their name. DR is not gonna go out if its way to give you people citizenship just because y’all are poor, black and offer cheap labor. Stop playing the victim. GET REAL! The only people you all should be denouncing are your own corrupt Haitian politicians and elites and the gangs that wreak havoc on your country!!
