ONLY a few older members here know Afro like I do.......NOT personally, gracias a Dios, just the nonsense he writes here.......since he was my first "target practice victim".

Btw, he was 50% worse before.......yeah, I know, hard to believe.

But does that matter to you Dominicans? No. I think it would be a win-win situation for both parties. Dominicans take ownership of the whole island and Haitians get a fresh new start in a more fertile land not prone to any serious natural disasters. If the reconstruction of Haiti begins what happens if another major earthquake hits the island? What happens if the earthquake hits on the Dominican side? Haiti was always and will always be a blackhole. It's need to be reborn into a star and that will never happen on the island of Santo Domingo.

The U.S. just might take over Haiti. Pretty good strategic location if there ever was a war between the US, CUBA, and VENEZUELA.

Sounds good but I don't see it happening, or even the practicality or logic with this drastic move. In the real world these things don't happen much. In story telling tales maybe.
If Gods from outer space have a plebiscite and give everybody a chance to choose,
I will abide by the outcome of the majority.

What isn't logical or practical about it? These things don't happen much in the real world because this situation is very unique. Haitians cannot stay in the black hole that is present day Haiti. Many of the over 1 million illegal Haitians in DR are going to bring their family members into the DR and the other impoverished Haitians will just flood into all the border provinces of the DR. The standard of living for Dominicans is going to take a nose dive into the asphalt. 2 out of 5 Dominicans are already living in poverty. What happens when the illegal Haitian population reaches 50%? Don't even think that it could never happen because chances are there are more Haitians than Haiti's unreliable census shows and poor Haitian women are baby factories just like poor Central American Latinas in the US.

Dominicans are screwed. If they are forced to shed blood to protect their cultural identity,standard of living and sovereignty then there will probably be a severe economic backlash. The other scenario is that if Dominicans just let the flood gates open then the Dominican Republic will become the crime capital of the Western Hemisphere overtaking Jamaica and Colombia. Tourism will fall to it's knees. I don't see anything positive in the long term future for the Dominican Republic as long as impoverished Haitians are on the same island en masse. Relocation seems like the only logical solution and the most cost-effective solution. It is not cost-effective to rebuild Haiti especially being that hurricanes will impede reconstruction efforts and Haitians will be flooding into the DR until reconstruction is completed if it ever gets completes. If the fact that many parts of New Orleans still lay in ruins speaks of anything then Haiti reconstruction will take decades or the reconstruction will never complete itself.

I know that the relocation probably has a 1% change of happening but there is no other viable real world solution that benefits either Haitians or Dominicans long term. In the mean time, I hope you have touched up on your Kreyol.

It's such a pity that foreigners like you who understand the magnitude of our plight are in such small numbers, mandou, cuz' we will need all the understanding that we can get, specially for the scenes that are going to be enacted in the months to come, when the intl. community puts the haitian tragedy down the rug as they always do, and we dominicans return to our traditional role in their eyes as the slavers and the oppressors of the haitian. The situation in the Dario Contreras hospital (which the military have had to put into lockdown to prevent the relatives of the haitians keeping bed over there from abusing the facility as they would with their own backyards, i.e. cooking and bathing in the hallways) and the ones of Jimani is just a sample of the awful things in store for the DR in the following months, and perhaps decades, after this tragedy.

No pun intended? . Lautaro, are you in Sto Dgo?. I expect chaos to be brought about by the massive immigrant increase shortly. The machete hacks will come from both sides to a point where they may declare martial law.

Yes cyber, I live in ground zero (near the Acropolis), surrounded by construction projects (the new plantations) everywhere. Things have been calm lately, but that's no excuse to let one's guard down. If the history of the island is to be taken as a sample, the most horrible and frightful of bloodsheds have happened when and where it was the less expected.

Calm before the storm. You know what time it is. Too bad everybody else doesn't. Thank political correctness and popular opinion for that.
