Santo Domingo.- The coordinator of a national non-profit group which aids refugees and immigrants (MENAMIRD) today expressed concern as to how the Immigration Agency will enforce the regulation on foreign workers which takes effect today.
William Charpantier demands that Immigration revise the regulations on the recruitment of foreign laborers, because in his view for many years Dominican society has sought an immigration policy in keeping with the times.
He asked the director of Immigration to review and subsequently amend that regulation, so it becomes the result of a consensus among all sectors involved, and wait until the new administration takes office on August 16 to apply it.
Quoted by hoy.com.do, Charpantier noted that the country doesn’t guarantee the social security benefits for foreign workers after leaving their jobs, for which he asks that Congress correct that and other contradictions.

How can we develop a strong middle class when we have about 2 million of illiterate roaming the streets, and more coming in?
It's about time we start doing something about it.

"Quoted by hoy.com.do, Charpantier noted that the country doesn’t guarantee the social security benefits for foreign workers after leaving their jobs."
Forgive a naive question but; Why on Earth would a country continue to financially support foreign workers who - by inference - are not citizens, who have since left their job, and therefore - by implication - left the country? If a position is known to be transient, and therefore temporary, doesn't it follow that any applicable employment benefit, such as holiday pay, and so forth, gets paid out on the paycheck for the employment period - and no further?
Help me out. I don’t see why any country would want to continue to funnel precious finances to any worker who is no longer on the job actually earning a wage, nor entitled to any periphal financial benefits of the citizenry. Isn't that a feckless drain on the host country's economy? This notion seems so bizarre, to me, that I know I must have missed something. ¿Qué?

originalmrb,
In Australia "casual" workers are paid a higher hourly rate than "permanent" employees, since they are not entitled to holiday pay, sickness benefits, etc.
This seems fair, reasonable and practical, and should apply whether Haitian, Dominican or whatever.

I agree. It's similar here in Canada except the wage is not higher, but the peripherals are paid out on top of the hourly sum, and then the temporary employee can do with it what they will. But no further remuneration comes after the cessation of employment. So it's really the same bottom line, just different methods.
That's where I fell off the trolly at the above implication that such workers should be "entitled to" furtherance of financial benefit post facto. And as a "right" at that.
It's a notion that eludes me. Fair pay for fair work? You bet. But, keep paying me after I'm long gone? Ummmmmm...... what?
From: United States
Typical extreme liberal mentality trying to help the poor Haitians at the expense of poor Dominicans. These foreign NGO need to help the Haitians in their own land, not make it more lucrative to come over DR. Legal rights my a$$.
From: Dominican Republic, I dislike all politicians and their afiliated parties... "I simply say it AS IT IS!!"
Go tell Obama not to deport the poor illegal immigrants. He'll tell you in your face go to ....!!
The presidency with the most deportation is OBAMA's. They don't care who you are, if you have kids or what not?
No papers, you are out of the game. See ya!! Good-bye, deported, back to your homeland!!
So please we should not have any leniency in DR. Sorry, the country is poor as it is so we need to create jobs and save some our moeny to invest it in the Dominican ppl. Otherwise, these leaches will such the blood dry of our country the same way they did to theirs.
By the way, there are commercials on TV...Announcing the deportation of illegal immigrants so Americans can get back to work. And guess what? They are not afraid to say it.
So we should not be afraid or compelled to do the opposite to the U.S.A
They are deporting non-legals so should we!!
They are doing it to protect their land and give it back to true Americans so should we...Dominicans for Dominicans!!

JPDTrinity,
Deport all illegal Haitians then who's gonna do your hard and dirty work for low pay?
From: Dominican Republic, popon@att.net
Immigration MUST establish a quota of how many individual from a particular country we can allow to come to DR, just like in USA. This quota should be revised every 20 years.
Expats should not consist of more that 5 % of the native population. So in other words, if Haitians wants to apply for DR residency they must wait for at least 40 years when a balance of their peer demography is level with what we Dominicans allow.
Now, WE MUST START bringing people from other Latin American countries and Europe to do what the Haitians are doing.
We MUST STOP bringing more Haitians to do DR.
WE MUST START USING jailed inmates to do the HAITIAN LABOR.....very simple!

poponlaburra,
Quotas are fair enough, but
1) which country in Europe has people wanting to go to the Dominican Republic and do the dirty-work that Dominicans won't do, for very low pay? and
2) why not Haitians?
