Santo Domingo.- The president of the Robert Kennedy Center for Human Rights yesterday said it’s an “error” to ignore the around one million Haitians who live in the Dominican Republic, and recommended monitoring and making transparent the process to regularize those undocumented immigrants.
Kerry Kennedy suggested that the country guarantee that the laws aren’t applied retroactively in the civil registry, with children of Haitian descendants born in Dominican territory. She also recommended work in the bateyes to help the Haitian immigrants who live in poverty.
Kennedy, in a press conference yesterday, said her delegation appreciates the Dominican government’s response on the problem of Haitian immigrants because every official with whom she met yesterday showed an interest to work with her institution.
However the human rights activist noted that she didn’t come to impose a solution to the Haitian immigration problem, because in her view the Dominican Republic can solve it. She said it’s an “error” to ignore the around one million Haitians who live in the country.
From: United States
Kerry Kennedy should follow her own recomendations in the USA before she recommends them other countries.

She's right we can't ignore the Haitians any longer... We should deport them right away... I am tire of seeying haitians every where i turn my head in DR... Those people hate us... They envy us
From: United States
I say that same thing. Ms. Kennedy should put her theories to use in the good ol' U S of A, before preaching them to other nations. On the other hand it is time for Dominican Customs and other agencies to tighten their belts and start deporting the illegals, the very same way the illegal Dominicans are deported on a daily basis from other nations. Get them OUT!!!

From: United States
To danny00-What Carlos is talking about is the deportation of undocumented and illegal Haitians. I am against people who break the law and if that means the deportation of illegal Dominicans as well, then so be it. Deportation is the risk some one takes when they cross the border to another country without permission. If they are able to get away with it, then they have achieved their goal. Otherwise, if caught, don't cry and scream discrimination, be ready, willing and able to accept the consequences. I just hope danny, that you do not condone immigration chaos, don't tell me that it is ok to do what ever the heck you want. I really hope that you don't believe it is alright for a few millions of people to invade another country without rules, law and order. Nevertheless, if we have to deport illegal Dominicans from the US, the numbers are so minute compared to illegal Haitians in the DR that your analogy is irrelevant.

-She is implanting her foreign model as to the economic, social, and political rights the illegal should get.
-She is distorting the facts: There are two million Haitian (NOT ONE MILLION) in DR.
-She is nowhere to be seen when ICE crack down houses, trailers, schools, hospitals and workplaces in the U.S.

And to think the Latino vote was the swing vote [approx. 78% voted for Oh'Blama]. Latinos hoped that a change in the Emigration Laws would occur. I think since Oh'Blama is da Prez. special security measures do apply in Her case. I fear America's in for the big fall, not the Country I remember growing up. Many People I've talked to who were Oh'Blama supports are having serous second thoughts. Oh'Blama Prez. of the" Very Rich and Very Poor" Oh'Blama's solution....Cap-n-Trade, I could see it now, American Businesses moving and relocating overseas to avoid new regulations / Taxes thus creating jobs overseas thus reducing Illegal Emigration.
Oh by the way I'm beginning to think Kerry Kay Y gel is a being used to smooth entree into Dominican and Central American Politics "Voice of Injustice"....Notice how Oh"Blama was slow to response to the Iranian situation but quick response to the Honduran situation.

From: Canada
Its survival. Haitians are looking to live a longer life, better life, just like mexicans crossing in the US. It all comes back to the rich nations citizens (all of us) lack of understanding, that these people are poor because we wish to pay next to nothing for our products, we care more about saving a buck on sugar, then the welfare of the migrant who is picking the cane, or the accountability of the farmer. Who amoung us here in G-8 nations, will spend an extra dollar on fair trade products?We rather use that savings on a newer luxury car, or a bigger house.Increase our quality of life at home,If we as the wealthy people in the world want the market only for fair trade products, then producers of goods will have to abide by that system in order to sell their products, in essence paying the proper amount to farmer in HAITI and in the DR, passing a little wealth indirectly from the us(rich) to poor

There is a difference between the middle class and the rich in the US. It is the understanding that home ownership is not the best way to increase wealth, almost all people who are wealthy from new money have sacrficed owning a home and used money that would pay a mortgage instead to invest in some sort of bussiness that they have a passion for and stick with it for many years intill it grows. If one wish to be wealthy by American standards, one must do the same.
FIND A PASSION, START A BUSSINESS, STICK WITH IT UNTILL IT GROWS (WHICH COULD TAKE MANY YEARS), SACRIFICE OWNING A HOME, AND A NICE CAR FOR A SOME YEARS TO OWN A BIG COMPANY AND MANY HOMES AND CHARITIES TO HELP THE ONES IN NEED

But there is a big difference between Rich & middle class, The latter finds loop holes in our Tax system. Personally I bought a Home as a HOME to call my own, not as an INVESTMENT.
New wealth People were able to purchase Homes years ago in the first place due to over pricing of Homes, Loans passed without proper income, low APR's with no cap variable interest rates, balloon payments, little or no $ down payments. It is a no wonder why so many foreclosures in American todate. Ever wonder of the 85 billion offered threw the STIMULUS to save Homes from Foreclosures....I do not know of a single person who was able to use that money to save their Home, not one.
Rent in California is more then that of a monthly mortgage payment minus the interest Tax write-off on your income Tax return.

Most among middle class and the poor fall into that trap of posessions (ie. house) before having the idea of set themselves up financially first. Purchasing a home before the wherewithall to support it then after fact, blame the gov't and greedy buss'nessman for taking advantage of them. That's why they arrest the johns, along with the hookers and the pimps. They are as much to blame. It was the homeowners ignorance and greed that got them into the mess in the first place.
Every one dollar one spends one must think about it for one second before he spends it. If one purchases a 200,000 dollar home, he must think for 200,000 seconds before purchasing it.

-She is not a certified judge to pass judgement to the treatment of foreigners (especially based on a two days visit).
-She is implanting her foreign model as to the economic, social, and political rights the illegal should get.
-She is distorting the facts: There are two million Haitian (NOT ONE MILLION) in DR.
-She is nowhere to be seen when ICE crack down houses, trailers, schools, hospitals and workplaces in the U.S.
This is not a "human rights" problem. This is a "human responsibility" problem.
-She did not see the different levels DR is being invaded from Haitian children in Santiago to pregnant Haitian women in STO DGO East!

Antia Beato.
Santiago.- La procuradora del Tribunal de Niños, Niñas y Adolescentes de Santiago, Antia Beato, resaltó la necesidad de acciones conjuntas para enfrentar el tráfico de niños y niñas de nacionalidad haitiana hacia el país, principalmente a esa ciudad.
Hypocritical when the state of Florida is trying to deport 30,000 Haitians to a country where there is no security. Where slavery still exist, the united states help remove there last elected president, training Jean-Bertrand Aristide foes with in Dominican territory.

Good point, take all 1 million plus to Massachusetts feed them, give them employment and health care I'm sure Oh'Blam wouldn't mind heck they can even hook'um up with ACORN I'm sure it would boost his 2012 re-election.
Pelaut,
Somebody needs to pass these inputs on to the well intended misguided Blond [the great white hope].
Gouillermone,
She could teach them to bootleg Whiskey I here it's a steady income now a days [voiding ALL NEW taxes].
Etiennc01,
I do hope you get over your illness [Mierda] is something you donate, not keep. So nobody can think your full of it. I understand your frustration.
The way i see, it's not the Haitian People but a big part of the problem is the Haitian Government that needs to be addressed, they need to get there act together. If Kerry would start wasting her time in Haiti too, then it would seem to me she is trying to have an impact on the current situation.
KERRY,
I wonder what is your hidden Political Institutions Agenda ?
And to think the Latino vote was the swing vote [approx. 78% voted for Oh'Blama]. Latinos hoped that a change in the Emigration Laws would occur. I think since Oh'Blama is da Prez. special security measures do apply in Her case. I fear America's in for the big fall, not the Country I remember growing up. Many People I've talked to who were Oh'Blama supports are having serous second thoughts. Oh'Blama Prez. of the" Very Rich and Very Poor" Oh'Blama's solution....Cap-n-Trade, I could see it now, American Businesses moving and relocating overseas to avoid new regulations / Taxes thus creating jobs overseas thus reducing Illegal Emigration.
Oh by the way I'm beginning to think Kerry Kay Y gel is a being used to smooth entree into Dominican and Central American Politics "Voice of Injustice"....Notice how Oh"Blama was slow to response to the Iranian situation but quick response to the Honduran situation.
I wonder what the Iranian Prez. is doing this 4th of July.
Take care.
United states occupied haiti twice.
haiti has known some terribe tyrants
haitians die in sea trying to reach united states coats
haitians love cock fights
can you or anyone else can decode the hidden message
Please explain ?
I guess the age old question why do Humans hate Humans ?
In New York I'm considered a stinkin PR.
In Miami I'm a Freakin Cuban.
In California a wet-back
In Arizona a F'n Indian
In the DR I'm a sell out, a European sob
In the U.S I'm considered one of those "Conservative" right wing nut case, Jesus freak etc..etc..
I don't sugar coat nothing, I can only speak for myself, I try to be honest and truthful based on my understanding.
Children are not born haters. "Innocence at birth is non-debatable" Zoltan Freidmann Auschwitz Survivor. My friend Zoltan could of hated and no one would of held it against Him, he lost his Mother / Father / Sister / Brothers / Family and complete Town, all murdered by the Nazi's.
Zoltan lived near Sosua after the liberation of Auschwitz by the Russians, later migrated to NY in 1953. Brother if you or anybody would just visit the Jewish Museum in Sosua, I donated many news Articles.

We can learn a whole lot about Human Nature and our self's by talking to each other, dialog, open communication, agree to disagree. I believe if anybody spews hate its based on IGNORANCE I always try to understand them and why they hate.
If you or anybody is interested to know......
That Olive tree planted in front of the Museum is a seed from the Olive tree planted in front of Highland H.S for Zoltan's Memorial, He passed in 2004, I served as a Pallbearer and gave a speech at his Funeral. Zoltan is interned at Mount Sinai, Hollywood Hills California.
Understand I may post what some believe to be hateful but, THAT'S A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Take care BROTHERS.
We Dominicans all have some sort of indigenous Blood flowing threw our veins, I myself have Inca from my Grandmother. As far as Global Warming ????? Al Gore stands to gain BIG TIME $$$ from this, he stands to gain Millions with this Global warming crap, Meanwhile China and other mass Producing Industrial Country's will continue to pollute with out restrictions or any form of opposition from the U.S or Big Al Gore. they don't get it all it takes is a good breeze and all will get a good wiff. A old saying I'll share with all, nothing like "Breath taking Los Angeles" we are all Human filters in some form or another.
No way ! not Danny00, C'mon Brother lets be nice.
Kerry,
It has become TRANSPARENT to me that you should take your bleeding heart Liberal Ideology to Haiti and dictate to the Haitian Government into SPREADING THE WEALTH for some CHANGE of their own, I'm sure they could use your $$ / U.S TAX influence.
I'm sure the Folks in Little Haiti, Florida think your the greatest.
AGAIN......The Haitian People are not at fault, it's the Haitian Gov. and the DR's for not taking action and responsibility long ago.
WE MUST EDUCATE OUR NATION BEFORE WE HAVE THE CREDIBILITY TO EDUCATE OTHERS.
The U.S one Trillion in dept so far in 6 months.....Blaa Blaa Oh'Blama's road to recovery. Just wait until Cap'n'Trade and National Health Care.......RICH NATION NO MORE.........unless your hooked up to Al Gore or Saks 5th Ave.
Keep your eyes on the U.S economy, I hope I'm Wrong.
Still begging for more because we believe we are poor because we may not afford a new car every 5 years or go out to eat every week, or we have to deal with unemployem't for a few months. Time has a way of sorting out the trivial.
TO: Mrios-Do you really believe you are in a poor or even mediocre nation in comparision to the rest of the world?
THERE IS ABUNDANCE ON THIS EARTH FOR ALL OF OUR NEEDS, BUT NOT FOR ALL OF OUR GREED
Here's what I meant...
Rich: Land of opportunity, prosperity & Land of the FREE. In America you work hard to own a piece of the American pie threw Education, self improvement & Home ownership. Like it or not the U.S has been a model for the World to follow.
I believe what has happened is....I'll repeat we've a Nation where "The wants out weigh the needs" "Me, Mine & I society" "More is never enough" Men are gauged on the amount of Possessions one owns, no more Virtues, Morals and self respect towards our fellow Man.
This generation is on the belief that Gov. owes all Americans equal entitlements "Distribution of wealth" threw Owning/Controlling Auto industry, major Loan institutions and Health care is the norm of the Day.
Gov. dependency mentality or GDM, that U.S Gov. has a right and a obligation to feed, Health and CONTROL all aspects of American Life up to include our very own FREEDOMS and every aspect of American life that we cherish.

I'm but a small number of the "The working POOR" [middle class] who by the way pay our share of Taxes and soon to be burdened with more higher Taxes so others may live well with no incentive to improve there own lives.
Think of the abuses...Welfare & Medical fraud etc..etc..soon to be on a MASSIVE SCALE plus MASSIVE Gov. Bureaucracy all payed for....you guested it the THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER.
History example:
In the mid 1800's the first example of U.S Gov. Welfare was on the Native Americans, removed from fertile lands, placed on desolate Indian reservations where they became totally dependent on the U.S Gov. for food, clothing, Medical and shelter all on the premise WERE HERE TO HELP & PROTECT....like TOTAL CONTROL.
Ever heard of the the "INVISIBLE CHAINS OF SLAVERY" or "GDM".
I'm not rich $$ wise.....but at least I'm Rich in Loyalty, Morals and a strong work Ethic.
By American standards poor, by World standards Rich.
I'll wait for your response.
Take care.
FIND A PASSION, START A BUSSINESS, STICK WITH IT UNTILL IT GROWS (WHICH COULD TAKE MANY YEARS), SACRIFICE OWNING A HOME, AND A NICE CAR FOR A SOME YEARS TO OWN A BIG COMPANY AND MANY HOMES AND CHARITIES TO HELP THE ONES IN NEED
IN THE LONG RUN. ABILITY, MOTIVATION and ATTITUDE
THAT IS THE AMERICAN DREAM!
But there is a big difference between Rich & middle class, The latter finds loop holes in our Tax system. Personally I bought a Home as a HOME to call my own, not as an INVESTMENT.
New wealth People were able to purchase Homes years ago in the first place due to over pricing of Homes, Loans passed without proper income, low APR's with no cap variable interest rates, balloon payments, little or no $ down payments. It is a no wonder why so many foreclosures in American todate. Ever wonder of the 85 billion offered threw the STIMULUS to save Homes from Foreclosures....I do not know of a single person who was able to use that money to save their Home, not one.
Rent in California is more then that of a monthly mortgage payment minus the interest Tax write-off on your income Tax return.
Did you hear that C I T will file for bankruptcy soon, there the biggest small business men loan company in the U.S...no bail money for them, why ?
see part 2
New wealth People.....what NWP ? you mean the working poor...if they do still own their Homes....don't you know they'll have upside down Mortgages.
Find a passion ? HOW ABOUT PLANE SURVIVAL we are on a down trend with no end in sight, unemployment is close to 10% and growing we are slowly grinding to a economic halt.
I'm one who never fell for that luxury car crap, or replacement every 5 years or who eats out everyday.
More then 90% of American Buisness is small to medium size and employ over 95% of Americans.
Entrepreneurship under OH'BAMANOMICS don't think sooo....hope change the wave of America's future right into SOCIALISM and big GOVERNMENT...A REAL CONTROL FREAK just like Franklin D. Roosevelt.
PRINT PRINT PRINT, GIVE GIVE GIVE, CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL.
Just think where will you go for a real life/death Medical emergency.....the U.S ? [pick a lotto number and wait 30 plus days].
You can't spend your way to recovery. Hope to hear from you soon.
Take car
Every one dollar one spends one must think about it for one second before he spends it. If one purchases a 200,000 dollar home, he must think for 200,000 seconds before purchasing it.
When the going get tough, the tough get going.
Sorry, I can not use any more valuable time, to write anymore. There is bigger fish to fry.
Good Luck!
