Sorry to contradict you on this, but dominican emigration to the US happened in earnest PRECISELY during three of his mandates (1970-1974, 1974-1978 and 1986-1990). On the first periods, because of the political opposition that many dominicans had against his semi-dictatorship, and the last one, the most severe, was because of economic problems posed by the policies that he enacted during that period, which were unwarranted given the deteriorated economic situation of the country after the economic downturn of the preceding years, and which called for a more discrete and cautious approach in public expenditure.

Lautaro I'm surprised to see you attacking him, especially given the fact that he stood tall and the only president over the last 50 year who understood our Haitian problem. Which to me is our number issue threatening our identity. Yes there was a time when a soldier sent to Dajabon meant punishment.

Lautaro previously said:



The reason that I'm attacking him is because his complacent behavior in the face of the corruption plaguing our armed forces and business class is the main reason that explains why we have an haitian problem at all, vac. If he would have adopted a different behavior than "the constitution is a goddamn piece of paper" one that he encouraged, you and many other dominicans wouldn't have felt the need to take a yola, and this is a fact.

This following week will be the 103 anniversary of Joaquin Balaguer. Telemirco-int (channel 234 CABLE NY) will honor this man birthday on Saturday Sep 5th 2009 at 5pm with the title EL CONTRUCTOR DE LA DEMOCRACIA DOMINICANA. Those on the lefty side hated the man to death and see nothing good came out of him. Nevertheless the majority of Dominican adores the man who gave them stability during his time in office and made the foundation to our democracy. He was a fierce Anti-Communist who did not cede an inch to the socialist, pacifist, humanist or human right. During his earliest year as president communism was threatening the entire world with complete slavery of the human race. Some people claim that he was the same bloodsucker as Trujillo.

During his presidency few Dominicans felt the need to emigrate outside their country. The Dominican pesos equal one U.S. dollar, a gallon of gas 40Cent, economic growth every year, food was relatively very cheap, tourism industry got it leg thru Balaguer, so strong on crime where you could sleep with your door unlock and leave it open all day, the most important of all in term of our patriotism when they used to send a soldier to the Fronteras it used to be a punishment to that soldier. They will think twice before taking money by letting an illegal Haitian cross the border. That will tell you where he stood on the Haitian problem. Nowadays I had seen it with my own eyes of a soldier bragging that he didnt pay much to get a spot in the Fronteras because according to him he got in good time. This is one of the reasons why Balaguer is called racist by pacifist humanist like that Dominican traitor with agenda junot Diaz and many others like him or are hiding in the closet. Of all the president or head of state in DR he is probably the only one who never got richer at the mercy of the state. Nobody ever found him taking money from the govt. He dies as he lives very modest. It is a saying when he used to be president. La corrupcion se para en el palacio. Yet he used to swim with the fierce of the fierce shark there was in DR. He is the only Dominican head of state to held accountable previous head of state like in the case of Jorge Blanco who sacked DR. Nowadays these leaders made a pact between each other where none can be prosecuted after their term end.

To all the Dominicans here what is your take good or bad what you heard or think of the most important Dominican in term of significance to the democracy of our country.
