SANTO DOMINGO.- The Central Electoral Board will open an office in Port-au-Prince to make it easy for Dominicans who live in Haiti’s capital to obtain Civil Registry documents and Voter-ID cards.
JCE Administrative Chamber president Roberto Rosario, who made the announcement in a ceremony together with Haiti ambassador Fritz Cineas, said the electoral court has already identified the Dominicans who live in Haiti, and that its registries show that they’re more than 20,000.
Cineas said his government will collaborate with the JCE in its plan through his country’s Provisional Electoral Council.

I can see fraud.... another legit way for Haitians to get their paper or a way to influence a tight election, how do they know there are 20,000 ? unlike Haitians, Dominicans keep moving around, and go back and forth.
My humble estimate will be between low 40,000 to high 75,000

Montreal is notorious, I can get you a birth certificate easy due their system. The birth cerificate is issue first by the padre then you take the paper to the municipalities. It's a total joke.
In Ontario it's much safer

Dominicans living in Haiti? Why?!

Because it's easier to take a highway than to take a yola, don't you think? Plus, there are many opportunities for making quick cash over there (specially on the foodstuffs business). Trust me, the green bill has the power of erasing even the bitterest of enmities, so I don't see why it has to be any different on this case. Ambition and greed really know no borders.

Forgot to mention salon, spa and la peluquerias mostly run by Dominicans. Dominicans are known to have the best hair products.
From: Haiti
Not to mention the professional dominicans getting hired in the booming telecommunication industry. Lautaro let them keep taking that shark infested mona passage to Puerto Rico. Meanwhile taking a bus ride to haiti offers dominicans with many opportunities. Anyway I dont see this happening. The dominican & haitian government makes it hard for both citizens to have such convenience. Becuase they can make alot of "cuarto". lautaro I am doing my research and see why the mafia chofers were upset Caribe Tours is doing the Cap Haitian route. Do you know how much money these guys are making a day..there are like 4 to 7 buses going that one route everyday. Edwards, have you ever wonder why europeans and americans want to live in the DR?

I don't possess the exact numbers at hand, Jabao, but Caribe Tours certainly have found a gold mine on this route, if we are to judge by the numbers of haitians taking the route of Manzanillo-Guayubin-Le Cap that one can see very morning at the Caribe Tours central.
From: Haiti
Lautaro Caribe Tours is going to get that money..lolol...besides the better service then hanging on a guagua with live poultry and what not..and all the impuestos at the so called check points. It only cost 700 RD to get from Haiti to Dominican Republic on one of these buses. That's a big money saver if one usually takes Caribe Tours and your papers have to be in order. Do you still live in a zona oriental? I think they have a pick up from aquel lado as well..

Nope. I moved from that zone ages ago. The only thing killing the development of that part of the city is the lack of universities. All the major ones are on the city or in the western district. Although I still have some pride of having lived on Alma Rosa, LOL. As the saying goes: "One may leave the church, but the church hardly leaves one".

Dominicans living in Haiti?! How can this Be?! oh, my world don't make sense anymore!!!!!
As I keep on repeating: It is ALL about ECONOMICS. People will go to where opportunities are. There are tremendous opportunities for professionals in Haiti in both Telecommunications & Energy (Venezuela is about to start construction on a mega-refinery) and just announced a pipeline to deliver gas to both the D.R and Haiti...and lastly, Haiti is the new Transshipment point for Cocaine entering the U.S from South America (the low percentage that does not come across the U.S-Mexico border).
Under these circumstances race, nationality, ideology and even morality take a back seat to economic gain. Ah, Adam Smith and Friedrich Nietzsche would be so proud....
From: Haiti
This isn't a big deal. It's just making it a lesser headache for a dominican to obtain necessary documents like they already have in USA,Europe,Venezuela, Canada etc. There are more dominicans living in Haiti that are undocumented. Lautaro, it would be nice if they would open up more campus on that side. I know someone haitian student living in Villa Duarte that commutes to Herrera studying medicine.

I'm sure then that his daily dose of headaches must come from having to deal with Hubieres' cronies and the other goons dominating the route to his campus.

If i was a dominican living in haiti i would sell fake avon products, i'll make a killing.!!!!

there is nothing like the opinion of highly educated people underlining their grossly superior morals to poorly educated ignorant peasant such as myself, like people in haiti are the only ones with nuclear armpitts. you probably right maybe the joke was a little to dark for you and your kind
but if there is something that dominicanz & haitians have in common is a real good sense of humor and since 90% of us are ignorant peasants we are familiar with grajo jokes. obviously not you messier lautaro and jacirez you guys never get grajo bellaco you guys sweat perfume.
and by the way excuse my french
merci beaucoup and bonye apoteyeu.

I second your joke, and I am Haitian. Listen guys loosen up; there is nothing wrong laughing at ourselves and others. A little bit of sense of humor, Cubans and Dominicans are the funniest ever, of course Haitians too.
