SANTO DOMINGO.- Dominican-Haitian Women’s Movement president Sonia Pierre today called a halt to the violence and mistreatment she affirms Haitians in the country are the victims of.

To mark the 165th anniversary of the Dominican Constitution on Friday, November 6, the activist said every citizen’s human rights must be respected, but called the new Charter a step backward.

Pierre affirms that as of December 10 when it’s proclaimed, hundreds of Dominicans of Haitian descent will be left without a legal status, as the new Constitution requires both birthplace and bloodline to grant nationality.

The controversial activist said the disposition approved in the Constitution will affect hundreds of professionals who’ve studied and have developed in the Dominican Republic, although the new Constitution is expected to be retroactive so the thousands of illegal Haitians can obtain documents. “It’s regrettable that in this century when the world is seen as a global village, laws are being passed to jeopardize citizens."

Campaign

Pierre announced a campaign of awareness to effectively adopt a fair system and a regime on Dominican nationality which solves the problem of documentation. "The right to a Dominican name and nationality for Dominicans of Haitian ancestry will be analyzed as to the impact the new regime approved in the current constitutional process can have.”

The campaign’s motto, “I want a nation without exclusion" aims to show that all are equal before the law and, aspiring to a city free of discrimination.

Actually no your not. In transit mean you cannot get your Dominican green card lol. If we allowed all of you guys to become citizen of my country you guys will probably overun us in less than 10 year. Imagien if the backward people get that incentive of being DR citizen how long before they start knocking everybody from Dajabon to Punta cana?

Why don't she go to Haiti herself and stop here people or at least warn them before coming to DR that "it's going to be tough and that they are not welcomed in DR". If, lets say her property was DR, would she like anyone trespassing and cutting her trees down and steel her electricity in her face while begging for money from everyone that walks in front of her property. I'm sure she is not going to just sit back and watch. She going to digg deep into her roots and lash out in anger.

Yea my cusins do it all the time, they go into DR with Dominican documents and come back into USA with american documents. But sooner or later some one in DR will catch on and make everyone pay... they want the $10USD per person lol

This lady is so full of it! What nerve! Had she really wanted to fight for haitian's rights she would've gotten her movement started in Haiti first and foremost. They wouldn't be crossing the border had the DR been such a cruel, racist, country. And yet they keep coming because everyone knows that Haiti is 10x worse. Hasn't it crossed her mind that if she fought for a better Haiti, her people wouldn't be falling prey to "the bad racist dominicans" in the first place? And yet Haiti's violations of human rights continue to be ignored by this hyprocrite. Ms. Pierre, try googling "restaveks".

It's actually very simple ,we are bad ,we are racists ,we are inhuman ,we are evil.......


Yet if I tell a Haitian that we are taking them away from this hell on earth called República Dominicana they would fight tooth and nail and have to be dragged kicking back to that great and wondrous land called Haiti that land that is a gift to humanity that fantastical place without which the US and South America would not have been able to win their respective independances .That mythical land that is so rich and powerful they even "defeated" Napoleon (although they had to pay the French back ) .This "great" land is so wonderful that their citizens have to be dragged fighting from this horrible place called Dominicana .....

Solange Pierre's documents need to be checked and she should be deported immediately because Dominican patience is is in short supply and .

She's trying to win the nobel playing the good activist tarnishing the DR image abroad.

Political Clientelism is ruining our country and society! W/O a doubt, the PLD, PRD, & PRSC do more harm to the country EVERYDAY, than NGOs trying to protect the human rights of all!

Why don't you channel your negative energies to the real culprits, the politicos who are keeping our people poor and ignorant. Ones who enrich themselves, while endebting our country. Don't you see that you're focusing on the wrong thing???

baldoria while I agree with you in all the issues you posted if we don't do something about the Haitian "situation" all the other things won't matter because it is hard to fix anything when our already ignorant population becomes more ignorant everyday and our scarce resources in education and medical care are consumed by illegal invaders. We could fix the country but if we let Haitians in the millions enter they would just destroy it just like they destroy everything they touch.

Every Haitian (except the few elites) that crosses that border brings Dominican society back to the paleolithic era and we have enough backwardness (mostly imported in previous Haitian entries) to allow more Voodoo and ignorance in .

So if we need to fix our issues the first thing we need to do is close the border ,deport the majority of the Haitians and militarize the border .Then we can focus on our internal "Dominican" issues knowing well that if we teach 10,000 to read we won't have 50,000 illiterate

Specially if they arent here legally just like every COUNTRY does. If they dont like the situation in their country they should do something about it and not just come here claim to be dominican to tarnish our name and then cry about it to the international comunity to make us seem like the bad guys.
