Conflict brewing
Dominicans in Costa Rica and in the DR have taken offense at comments in the Costa Rican newspaper Diario Extra where journalist Mario Ugalde writes negatively about Dominicans living in the country. Ugalde comments specifically about a sector of the city of the capital San Jose known as "Tierra Dominicana," where there is a large Dominican emigre community. According to Listin Diario, Ugalde described the Dominicans who live there as "lazy" and "shameless." According to Ugalde, they sell drugs like cocaine out of ice cream shops and prostitute children out of a hair salon. Ugalde even called for Costa Rica to expel all Dominicans. "People can no longer take their kids to the parks because weed smokers are there, we can't go out at night because they will rob us, we can't buy a nice cell phone because they will stab us for it, Costa Rica is ours, lets get rid of this mafia."

I just spoke to a friend who lives in San Jose and he confirmed the article. He is Dominican, but he's been living there for several years now and has a Costarican residency. He has done very well for himself opening several businesses and selling them on. Apparently the worse of DR is mingling with the worse from Colombia and you guys can only imagine. What a pitty for our reputation. When I went there over a decade ago, we had a great standing there. I was treated very well and heard nothing but good comments about us.

Now Domincans can see how haitians feel.

If you've noticed every Dominican that chimed in has expressed their dismay and embarrassment towards the situation that initiated this thread and some have even called for the dismantling of this "community" of our "compatriots" and for their deportation from Costa Rica...with that said are you calling for the deportation of all Haitians on Dominican soil or are you chastising something that the Haitian community in DR is doing? Otherwise your post makes no sense in the context of this thread.
