The secretary of state of the US Hillary Clinton visited us this week, to lobby for the rights of Haitians that invade the DR, and demand nationality papers.
The Obama administration is showing again its true colors, encouraging benefits for illegal Haitians, regardless of any pertaining Dominican immigration laws or our constitution.
Like someone said many times before, and we are repeating here again:
Countries do not have friends, they have interests.......
The proposed unification of the DR and Haiti and the "shotgun wedding" of our two nations, is a thesis that will never happen, simply because of the many factors that have been explored in this forum in the past, relating to historical grievances, more history of constant Haitian military incursions and aggression,
attempts to vilify the DR by Haiti in world forums, constant trespassing and disregard for our borders by Haitians, and hidden agenda to encourage immigration to DR by Haitian governments, to relieve the pressure on themselves, and dispatch those "untouchables" and escapees into the care of the DR nation.
Besides the humungous differences in language, religious beliefs, cultural differences, mindset, political and philosophical abyss, raison d' etre, there are NO economic advantages for the DR for the two nations to merge, and abundant economic disadvantages.
The major powers that think this union is a good idea, better think again, and go back to the drawing board, to explore other options. Haiti is a failed state in more ways than one, the DR is not the solution to Haiti's rosary of problems.
This merging of two nations will never happen, and instead the economic destabilization of the DR, brought upon by the international policy of promoting the exportation of the Haitian "untouchables" to the Dominican territory, will destabilize both islands and create a failed island state of 20 million persons, whose only option will be to travel to Florida or Puerto Rico in an exodus so immense that it would be impossible to control.
