The high crime in DR is leading people to think there is no solution in sight, but we “Americans” have seen this before. Recall the streets of NYC in the 80’s. And before my time the 70’s, one thing the crooks hate organization. They hate watch groups, and a community that sticks together. Like The nosey old lady always looking outside from her window the cop that knows everyone.
DR is letting too many foreigners in; believe it or not they are committing crimes. We need a better why to tract these people. And send them back where they belong, the deported Dominicans must be shown that the DR population is not going to deal with their U.S. B.S.

When I was in Los Minas one of the worst barrios of the capital, some one came to me and told me that he knew a place where I could change my dollars. “All this before I said a word of English.” No one knew I was from the states. But this individual could tell he smelled me out like bacon. His glazed eyes, as if he was coming off his high, and there was like a million exchange places all over.

DR Barrios need community groups; they need strength in numbers and in unity. I am not a “Trujillista” but Trujillo could not have kept the power he had if not for the support he had from the population.

So
1. Unity and Strength
2. Control over foreigners and deported Dominicans.
3. communication among neighbors which ties into #1
4. co-operation with police, military and press

Unfortunately, do to the over whelming evidence we can not deny that the ruling party and current president of DR is corrupted and is linked to Drug dealing and trafficking.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any simple answer. Teaching morals and ethics is extremely important along with tougher drug laws is a start. Also, we need to figure out a legitimate way that can give a lot of Dominicans jobs and money.

Although I understand what you are trying to say, I must say that I don't think "things" are as "black and white" as you think.

Firstly, let me tell you where you are wrong:

FOREIGNERS are NOT the cause of the DR's problems, DOMINICANS are.

Crimes and "vagamunderia" was alive and well in the DR waaaaaaay before ANY foreigner relocated there.

And that's not about to change any time soon.

DEPORTED criminals do as they please because thay are allowed. They know they can get away with almost eveything so they take advantage of it.

In most cases, even the police are afriand of them and for that reason they continue to do they same thing they were deported for.

And that's not about to change any time soon.

I can assure you that LOS MINAS is not even close to being one of the worse barrios in the Capital.

I visit many barrios in Los Minas and compared to barrios in Los Alcarrizos and Guachupita, any barrio in Los Minas looks and feels like paradise.

YOU being "recognized" before you opened your mouth has NOTHING to do with where you were (poor neighborhood or whatever).

Dominicans from ALL socio-economic levels can spot a foreigner or a Dominican living abroad from a mile away.

I hate to be the carrier of bad news but whenever in the DR, try to take aside an old man and ask him if the DR has changed from when he was a kid and I can assure you he will tell you it has changed but not that much.

The same crimes, corruptions and anything "bad" happening in the DR nowadays have been happening for generations. Granted, at a certain time it's greater than other times but still happening nonetheless.

And it's not about to change any time soon.
