This post was nothing more than a bait post to talk about Haitian Immigration to the D.R.. I think what they talk about is something that effectively criminalizes migration and, by extension, poverty. It moreover contradicts the spirit of hemispheric free trade championed by the United States and other countries like Mexico and Guatemala. It is clear to me just how prejudicial they sound.


America is herself a country made great by immigrants, some of them illegal immigrants from the Islands. Indeed, the same complaints I hear about Haitians are similar to those I hear from Puerto Ricans about these same people migrating to their island. Should we build a wall around Puerto Rico too? Or maybe a wall around all the islands.

NO.. history has shown that walls do not resolve tensions within societies or across borders. Whatever barrier is built, it would, like other walls in history, be a reflection of exclusion, division and rejection. Building a wall will not solve this country's security problems. Nor will it solve its immigration problems. If anything, it will exacerbate them. And it will hardly be a shining example of the goodwill of this country towards the rest of the Americas.

This low class government needs to recognize the human rights of Haitian migrants. It needs to work towards reform of its migratory laws. It needs to regularize their status and provide them with documentation. And it needs to work with Haiti to address the reason why millions of Haitians sneak into its country, and why a equal number of its citizen putas and others risk life, limb and dignity to sneak into Puerto Rico, the Florida keys and other U.S. terrortories.

OK that Bahamian show is pretty damn interesting. Lady Russell presents a very good case. It is a great video to show to people uninformed on DR's situation so they understand there are issues at play that would be issues no matter what the two nations are and it isn't just something between Haitians and Dominicans.

Thanks for bringing this video

but you are still a hateful bigot Gizmo, where are the gorilla pictures

hopefully you will leave those in the past.
