Santo Domingo.- A group of 144 Dominicans will return to their country Wednesday deported from the United States where they served time for various crimes, mostly drug trafficking, and bring the total of repatriated from that nation so far this year to 1,103, or 34 percent more than the same year go period.

A report by the United States Embassy and the local Immigration Agency the 144 will arrive at 2 p.m. Wednesday aboard an airplane chartered by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service.

In addition to drug trafficking the deportees served sentences for murders, robberies, assaults, document forgery, and bank frauds, kidnappings, illegal weapons, sexual crimes, and arson, in jails in New York, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Miami, Massachusetts, Philadelphia and other places.

It was learned that once they arrive at Las Americas Airport seven U.S. federal agents will hand them over to Immigration and other officials of the different law enforcement agencies for background checks.

Ricardolito,
If they have nothing pending in the DR then they are free to go. They have served their time in the US.

A few of these fine young men will soon be the "Lords of their Barrios". They will soon become the professors of the DR's street youth, theaching them all the finer arts of crime. God help the DR.

We definitely need some policy on how these people are handled. They should be monitored when they return for some period of time. The problem is it is so difficult to find a decent job and most of these people have little or no training to make a decent wage that all that is left is a life of crime.

I think a background check and open up an investigation file on each one of them should be sufficient. Remember not all the crimes are equally punished in both nations and some sex offenses are not seen as such in the DR. If we decided to shoot guys in the head for sex offenses, 95% of Dominican guys would be in serious problems.

Cantave,

even if Trujillo was 99.9 Haitian and 0.1% Dominican, eventhough he was a killing machine his service to our nation was like no other. He paid the National debt, created all the military institutions(with the help of the USA), one of the first TV channels in Latin America, but most importantly, he brought our nation from the 18th century, to the 20th century, and don't forget he expanded our territory; so a Haitian like that I take any time.

Good day Sir.

I remember when I was in jail ( west to Sto-Domingo.) waiting to was deporting.
The U.S.A. deporting more than 200 Dominicans per month .

My prison receiving the Dominicans and if they are no charge in R.D.
The Dominicans are FREE.

Imagine all the gangsters you get in the R.D.

Dominican Republic has an enormous problem. Eventually serious measures must be adopted to address the increase in crime. Dominican Republic is paving its way to improve the living conditions of its citizens and its imagine on the world stage- allowing criminals to tarnish our reputation, our freedom and the quality of life is something we must stand firmly against.

These deportee are free to do what they want to do, in some way's they are better off than the Local's are.
Let me explain. As an American that worked in the Free Zone/Zona Franco between the year's of 2006-2008 as a Telephone Customer Service Representative, I recall several depotee that worked along side me. I heard all of there stories about what they were in prison for (very scary).

Remember sense these guys once lived in the United States for a number of year's, they knew/learned how to speak some desent English, which met they can get a better jobs and make more money than there local homeboys. MORE MONEY means buying more drugs in D.R.

That is nothing to be proud of Mr, I love my Haitian brothers, also, don't talk about land grab, DR has always been from Masacre River down to the east, otherwise it would've been a desert by now.

While jail can prepare convicts with the ABC's of the English language, it does not offer skills for the working world. I empathize with those people that have landed in jail due to immature and misguided mistakes or police profiling or meeting arrest quotas. I get it! Providing opportunities for deportees to change their lives after paying their debt is the right thing to do- ( as we all know not all people in jail are guilty) but what about installing a overseeing branch to monitor the deportees- thereby ensuring we as a society are helping those that need help and keep a close eye on those that aim to harm us.

US should set up training, probation and rehab programs for them here in DR - other than that DR government could insist they receive these services in the US.
