Santo Domingo.- The Immigration Agency on Sunday began regulating foreign laborers by issuing the first 210 cards for seasonal workers, to help them travel without inconvenience and pay into the social security system.
Immigration director Jose Ricardo Taveras said the Dominican health system spends around six billion pesos a year on services for foreigners, despite that they work in the country.
He said he card features the owner’s signature, photo and fingerprints. "In addition, each was a subjected to a background check through Interpol, the National Investigations Department (DNI), and the National Drugs Control Agency (DNCD)."
Taveras told the Haitians present, "with this document you may go to Haiti to have a coffee and be back in the country in the afternoon without any problem or the fear of being stopped by a soldier."
Cy Winter, head of the International Organization of Migrations (IOM) Delegation in the Dominican Republic, said the implementation of theregulation "is a key step for the support of dignity of labor immigrants of the Dominican Republic, specifically Haitians."

Implementation of such a sensible system is long past due.
Perhaps now we could concentrate on proper border control and better regulation of immigration for the mutual benefit of both nations.

"Gobierno regulariza mano de obra extranjera en RD
El gobierno dominicano inició ayer un programa para la regularización de la mano de obra extranjera temporera, el cual involucra, además de obreros, a empresas privadas y el sector público, con la entrega a 220 trabajadores temporeros haitianos de un carnet de identidad."
Very good and Danilo, JHCL2016 (1st post), MJEV. on point.
Only when this program is fully implemented or close to being so, will many of these border issues begin to dissipate. Perhaps the false Dominican ID trade will go down too.
