SANTO DOMINGO. - The United States Coast Guard yesterday repatriated six of 12 Dominican boatpeople intercepted Sunday night, eight nautical miles west of Cabo Rojo, when they tried to enter Puerto Rico illegally.

The U.S. authorities detained six of the migrants, accused of entering its territory illegally in at least two different occasions, for which they’ll be indicted in Puerto Rico.

The boatpeople, 9 men and three women, were rescued by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Ocracoke, when their yola was taking water.

I don't get it. A country which is building super Highways, subway system, tall skyscrappers, is still having its people wanting to take to the dangerous Carribean shark infested waters. At least I'd understand if it was us Haitians. It proves only one thing, in spite of all the bravado and cheap talk, there is a big chunk of the population that is not profiting from the so call economic miracle of the Dominican Republic.

People in Cuba don't starve. They enjoy free services for mostly everything. They simply don't enjoy the hypocrit freedom "a la George Bush" the yankee want to cast upon them. It is easy to understand, for a country which is at war for more than 40 years with its giant and subversion master enemy, can't take the chance to let its citizens go all loose. Are the United States a free country now?
As for sending all Haitians back to their country, if you used to clean your eardrums, you'd remember that I'd already told you that nothing would make me happier.

However, you must not forget to shut down the border, because once you send them all back, you're not gonna want to do business with us anymore: you can't have and the crabs and the bag.

oupala,
everyone wants to be in Nueva Yoi. Everyone wants that USD$$$$... Everyone wants a new SUV. Everyone wants a nice house and money for their family. They feel like they can reach these goals faster in USA than in DR.

What they don't know is that most people that go on vacation are actually considered poor in USA. They work all year and spend thier savings on vacations to DR. All the money is spent on mujeres and drinks. They look and act like they are rich just to show off in DR.

This is why people in DR think that life in USA is easy. And they don't know that they will spend the winters freezing their nuts off in NYC

Go to BastaDobbs.com and defend yourself and your family. Vote to get this guy out CNN. ..........................................................................................Lou Dobbs told this story ................A Louisiana couple, Dave a Rebecca Kosmitis both bona fide Cajun rednecks, had 9 children.
They went to the doctor to see about getting Dave 'fixed'. The doctor gladly started the required procedure and asked them what finally made them make the decision, why after 9 children would they choose to do this? Dave replied that they had read in a recent article that 1 out of every 10 children being born in the United States was Mexican, and they didn't want to take a chance on having a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish!.....

Xw,

You wrote: "What they don't know is that most people that go on vacation are actually considered poor in USA. They work all year and spend thier savings on vacations to DR. All the money is spent on mujeres and drinks. They look and act like they are rich just to show off in DR"

You are obviously referring to Dominican vacationers in this comment. In that case, I would agree with you 100%.

xw, you mean the (DOMINICAN YOI OR YOE)

XW, next time you flight to DR, please do this for me, people might think that you are crazy, but I do it all the time and my wife gets pissed off at me. I wait until everyone board the plane, as they close the door, I get up and do a head count of how many men are on that flight. You will be surpprise, it is like 60-70%. I do not have any data how many of them are coming by themselves or a companion, since I do not ask.

glomax,
every time I travel to DR I treat everyone fair not show off. Dominicans in USA need to learn this and know that you are not above anyone just because you can travel to USA. Also, it is not good to show off with all of the recent kidnappings
