Helloooo my Dominican Primos...I can't hear you what about this....?

Yes but the Domincan people AND Dominican government keep the lickin the boots of the american yankee government criminals. Slurp slurp kissee kissee

i wish the President would keep his jacket done up when in public ...but again we really do not need the USA preaching to us when they have mass murders in schools , atrocious prison conditions and many police shootings . It really is like the pot calling the kettle black

Little Dicky, grow up it's the 21st century.

in the US we put people in jail for the crap that you consider acceptable.

Someone has to step in and say ENOUGH, Dominican obviously do not have the conscious or will.

Ricardoolito I have mad respectfor you or on this board..was Just trying to get something said about this..trust me....we here in the us are fare from perfect....don't want to get on your bad side.....not calling the kettle black

When you get my age all you want to do is live in peace and enjoy life...Here in the US the gangs run the prisons..they go after the guards andthere familys..so out of fear the guards give in not trying to preach to you that where better...maybe just alittle...tranquillo primo

For those that din't read this right out of all the problem the main was????


But what most concerns ADOCCO is the report’s affirmation that "Corruption""""

Corruption,Corruption, Corruption,,,,,,, thats were the problem is in our country so well done DR just lost $$200M dollars,,

I'm convinced now, that leo is a queer, look at his seating position compare to the picture with the corrupt military official from colombia dressed in white and the deep look he was giving him as he leaned into him. Now, look at him with hillary.... The body language is a dead give-away.

Damn stool-pusher!!!!

Bullshit!
Washington is corrupt not the DR!
They want Dominicans to live like slaves!
S.

HUH...to abc200

keep pointing fingers........

The truth hurts.

@abc200 don't talk what u don't know,,,

if u want go ahead and GOOGLE it""" the country with more Corruption in plannet earth,,, u will see

that the USA is not even on the list,,, The Gringos Congress, will have anybody ass raw in jail if

they found anyone doing any kind of corruption.

US has biggest jail population!
US is the most corrupt state!
S.

@abc200 last time talking to you .....if it's so bad why do people risk there like every min. of the day to get to the USA...you sound very young good luck

us is such a bad place to live.........about moving to cuba ?

If you don't like the report take steps to correct the infractions!!!!!

We wear the corruption tag quite well only ignoring our problems and trying to cover them up when it costs us money. Until our leadership deals with our massive corruption problems our country will remain in the bad state it currently is. We have a horrible justice system with little fairness and enforcement of our laws is dependent upon the person involved. We have major drug problems as a result of this. We don't spend enough on education and our electrical system is a joke. All of this stems from corruption. LF owes too many favors or is so involved he only thinks about how he can get more money. We need new leadership.

there is much corrupton in the US, but it is not sensationalized as here, you go to jail in the USA, here you become a star. Everyone wants to touch you, to maybe get a small piece of your "fame"from you. just ask Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, or Randall Cunningham among others. This theme of "above the law" has taken a multiple of the $200mm away from the DR. It has taken billions and billions. How many businesses from around the world have refused to deal here because of corruption? This is just the start. When LF becomes fair game after office, the cases of reported corrption will skyrocket like gas prices here, and he will bury all his "ministers" for carrying out his plans to enrich himself. Casrtoesque, Chavezesque, Mubarakesque?

some here are acting like petulant children when caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
Point a finger at the US all you want it doesn't change the fact that the D.R. is extremely corrupt.

In fact it is because of the rampant, institutionalized corruption that I closed up my business there and divested myself from almost all of my Real-estate holdings. i got tired of having to grease palms everyday for even the most basic services.
After every election you have to deal with a new crop of moochers and leeches who want to "be your friend and help you."

People wonder why the middle class is so small in the DR? Here is your answer.

I beg to differ with the posters on corruption in the US and the DR.
I have businesses in both countries.
I live in both countries.

Here in the DR, corruption and bribes are a way of life. Everywhere you go, even driving down the street, someone wants to shake you down.
If it's not the government, it's some police official, lawyer...even your partner, if he is Dominican. It has become a caustic and vile behavior- paid by the ones who can afford and taken from the ones who need, just to line someones pocket. It is the Dominican version of the Mafia.
In the US, the powerful bribe the politicians for government largesse.
There is no shakedown of the business or land owner other than taxes.

And vivacuba, you are twapped.

We should clean up curruption for our OWN SAKE, not the $200 million the US is handing out.... America herself does not keep her word why should they expect others to do so!

2 wrongs don't make a right

Corruption and injustice hurt people and slow progress whether in the US or the DR. Both countries need to find ways to reduce these abuses. There are countries where government is more honest and police and courts are fairer and the are better places to live because of that.-- although the weather isn't always so nice as here.

sorry Ricardolito,but I agree with Gmiller! in the US, u commit the crime, then you will pay!!!. In DR, there are waaaay too much tolerance toward delincuentes.

ABC200, dude, for every prisoner there is in the US, there are 3 or more delincuents inside and outside DR's prison!. LOL!!!!!!

abc200, said
"US has biggest jail population!
US is the most corrupt state!"
This is a contradiction.
Also I understand that many of the US prisoners are Dominicans - proportionately higher than in the general population.
Every country has crime and corruption - it is only the rate that differs. Australia is very low, USA is average and DR is very high.
This costs DR $20 million? I think it would be much more than this.
Most Dominicans are corrupt - It is just the politicians have the opportunity to do it on a grander scale.
Education is not the answer. People know the law when they are breaking it. Enforcement is the only answer. get help from another country - the Solomon Islands use the Australian Federal Police, backed up by the Australian Army. The villagers are very grateful. The criminal gangs are not.

If the hat fits.

1 in 142 of US residents in prison!
Nowhere in the World a greater percentage of corrupt people!
http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/censusstatistic/a/aaprisonpop.htm
DR has a trivial number of crooks by comparison!
DR is honest! Statistics don't lie!
After all - property is theft!
Yanks complain when Dominicans stand up for their rights in the face of the foreign invader.
But they stole most things from the native US Indians!

S.

"After all - property is theft!"

Really?

To Whom here can help me understand what the heck is ABC200 is talking about.........

hes talkin about the wild west

Truth is truth., DR's government does all bad things yet worrries about outsides knows.

US has the most unfair penal laws to minority (specifiacally Hispanics).

They stole and still stealing from the native Americans. They stole and still stealing from the native Mexican Indians who once owned half United States. Now these Native Mexican Indians are called illegals when the American stole their ancestors properties.
Reaseach the "Californios"

White drug dealers never get caught.
White Russian and Irish Mafia never get caught.
Chinese or oriental mafia and the thousands prostitutes in massages parlors never get caught.

Property - theft ? Well nearly all property in developing countries with the exception of those countries where the people in the form of the government hold the land in trust - Cuba,Vietnam etc.
Most places the land was stolen by a dictator and given to the rich elite in return for some favor or other.
In some places Brazil, Venez etc. the people are regaining the property.

abc, Has totally lost it!

Centinela your post suffers from the big mistake of generalizing, and yes you are sounding very racist.

everyone on this site should watch pbs channel on 19 april at 8;00 p. m. being black in latin america. no response necessary listen for once in your life.

ABC notifies

1 in 142 of US residents in prison!
Nowhere in the World a greater percentage of corrupt people!

maybe the high prison population has something to do with the fact that the USA does not allow its criminal element to run free, and takes steps to put them behind bars.

dreadlocks, you are assuming that all slaves in us prisons are guilty. This is a bad assumption. US criminal justice system is a terrible injustice to its citizenry and much corruption abounds all the way from the bottom to the top of the broken system.

Australia, was made up of all the criminals from England. So the whole damn country is just a big British jail.

It is too little, too late. They are already rich rich and rich !!!!! beyond imagination.

lightblack, well said.

Hum ABC200

1,355,748 held by the states and feds
665,475 held by local municipal and counties.
2,021,223 total
88,776 are non citizen
1,932,447 deport the non citizen!

That will solve a lot of the problem as 4.4% of the prison population is comprised of illegals. Or legal residents.

Now what percentage of the Dominican prison population is comprised of foreign nationals?

Figures from your posted link

bienamor, This still leaves 1,932,447 and growing numbers even if you eliminate the non citizens. Also, various articles from this website reveal USA is extraditing many non citizen locals FROM D.R. to the usa to serve time. These people were not inside usa or later left usa and are then sent BACK causing these non citizen numbers to spike.

lightblack from United States, said

"Australia, was made up of all the criminals from England. So the whole damn country is just a big British jail."

Then perhaps he can explain why the rate of crime and corruption is Australia is far lower than in USA, which is in turn lower than in DR!

Mr. Stone how was AUSTRALIA formed?

Mr. Stone how was AUSTRALIA formed?You are talking about crime rates and I'am talking your countrys' orgin if you going to be a big boy and jump out here on this site and talk about the U S dont by any stretch of your imagination think your little country is off limits.Greetings from up above to you down under.

lightblack, Australia is not off-limits and Australia has many problems too, however shipment of people who stole food for their families, due to the effects of the Industrlial Revolution, is not one of them.
Remember only those guilty of petty crimes were transported to Australia. The major criminals ended up in the House of Lords!
As far as who is "up" and who is "down" - are you talking about dollars? I think that puts Oz on top of USA right now!

We haven't missed any meals on our worst day we are better than most. When I was talking about up and down I was talking about geographic location.Shame on the Brits for sending people away for stealing I guess it is time to play the blame game. IF the DR sent all folks that steal away from the island it would be no one there.

In feeding? their own people US has starved much of the World for 1/2 a century!
S.

Let's do a little logical deduction,bright one. What makes more sense feed the rest of the world or feed you own people?

Sorry, lightblack, I thought you we talking about the United States of America, not your deluded, United States of Intoxication! High levels of obseity do not mean no one is starving in USA.

Given it is possible to do both .........
Corruption gave birth to biofuels and raised prices sky high so huge land profits!
Now same corrupt people ramp cost of food!
It's small wonder that in all probability there will be more 9/11's !
S.

Bring on the 911's they will pay just like those ragheads are paying now.DRchica go back to Boca Chica.

lightblack, you do not know anything about 911 or you would not be making that statement. Turn your television off and go research it yourself.
