Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic will attend a hearing today in the Inter-American the Human Rights Commission, where activist Sonia Pierre and several civil organizations accused the government of repealing the citizenship of 417 descendants of undocumented Haitian immigrants.

For the hearing from 10 to 11am in the Organization of American States (OAS), in Washington, D.C., the ambassadors to the OAS, Roberto Saladín, and to the U.S. Aníbal De Castro, and Immigration Agency director Jose Ricardo Taveras will defend the country.

Taveras, quoted by news source eldia.com.do, said he’s confident that the case will not be sent to the Inter-American Human Rights Court, in Costa Rica.

Sonia should be deported, she just creates barriers for the state to take action. There is a rumor in DR that the US is preventing DR from implementing the massive deportation solution by putting presure on Leo and we all know he is a sell out, i live in this country and like it here, but in my opinion we should do what we have to even if this means making uncle sammy a little angry...

If the Government had not tried to 1) take advantage of cheap Haitian labor without any type of documentation, foresight and responsibility, 2) turned a blind eye on the corruption in CESFRONT and 3) tried to handle it lazily by retroactively applying laws, the problem would not be where it now is. Now both the Haitian and Dominican Governments hav to work together to try and control the issue.

It's so interesting to see how so many people will say things that clearly offensive and sometimes clearly racially motivated comments, but yet whenever somebody even REMOTELY says anything about racism in the Dominican Republic they are also the same ones to say "no hay racismo aqui!" etc. If you don't agree with Sonia Pierre or like her position that's one thing but calling her "fea" is only showing a deep seated attitude toward what she represents to some people. On THIS very site I have seen countless times where Haitians are called monkeys, dirty, ugly, sick, backwards, etc. But yet there are still some people who seem to be so shocked when somebody outside the Dominican Republic says that some people are in denial about racial issue being a problem. They might not say those offensive things themselves but how many ever attempt to correct their fellow Dominican. who is giving his Country a bad name?? Sad to see....

If they are to be sent back, then do so. Dont allow them to cross the border without the proper documentation. But as long as there is someone out there trying to make dos o tres chelitos mas, they are going to continue to "overun" the country. You cant get mad at them for trying to cross when its made so easy. Hay que ponerse las pilas.

Saying you ugly ain't racist. Its just saying the truth. This ho' is ugly and no one would hit unless they be drunk. Plus a Dominican of Haitian background doesn't exist in my book. This is just a divisive term used by la Fea to make money and gain fame. Why dont all you Haitians in DR go and start trouble in Haiti and use all that energy to get Papers there??
Why you gotta start trouble in a country that is supposedly treating you so bad?
If DR is so effing horrible to Haitianos, MUTHEREFFING HAITI is right there! Go back son. We don't want all you fools here anyway. So skit, step. Racismo my behind.

Whether she is attractive or ugly, Haitian, Dominican or otherwise, she has a right to say what she thinks as a representative of her organization, and we have a right to agree, disagree, praise or criticize.
I have not seen anyone here criticize the Santiago District Attorney, who happens to be young and attractive.

She says she is Dominican haitian, yeah right, i have seen her only facing supposed haitians problem, never Dominican issues, so she doesnt feel Dominican, She is only taking advantage of the situation and getting richer and richer. Some day will come out a real dominican brave to send her where she has to be.

Mira Yucahu, tus grocerias no te ayudan en tu causa y a la misma vez, nos estas haciendo ver muy mal. Yo se que tu estas expresando tu derecho del "1st amendament", pero pareces como un carajito tirando un temper tantrum. Now, by all means keep writing how you are writing and what you are writing, but Im just trying to put you on game. The same way people say Haitians are dumb and backwards and slow, is the same they say about us. By you posting ignorantly like you do only helps that out. Take how you want it, it is what it is.

@ yucabu you hate haitians and you love trujill. That don't make sense. He is of haitian blood so he can't be dominican. Oh by the way didn't he kill a lot of dominican? How did he died? It was in his sleep of old age. If you not doing drug you need to start. You will never lv the us. I mean when was the last time you went home. You know what much love to you baby

@roystone thank you for informing me about your sex life. @yucabu how long have been living in the states? Did you get there legaly? How is it that you guys complain so much about the treatment of dominican in pr? Is it wrong for person tried to get a job where ever he feels He can find it? I mean if you don't want us to Come over don't give us a job. The one who hire us fine them heavily. I am sure the legals would run to get the jobs at the battey and other jobs. The legals will drop they brugal and presidente and work for lower rage

Why do people here argue with haytians? THERE IS NO POINT !!!! You answer one thing and they ask another, or bring race to the argument or ask you about your nickname, that is all they do and it's ridiculous, these people have complex problems, Just notice how they are on this website ALL DAY !! They are obsessed with us, and they just want to piss you off ................. DOMINICANS, when a haytian grajo piti replies to your comments; don't answer - just ignore and don't argue - they don't see how that makes them look - Haters are going to be just that; Haters.
