Nassau.– Authorities in the Bahamas have said that they are in the process of sending back 57 Haitian migrants to their homeland who were found near the Caribbean British territory, according to some press reports.

Immigration Director Jack Thompson said that 49 men, seven women and one child, were hiding near Exuma to escape from their impoverished conditions in Haiti after an earthquake devastated more 1.6 million people in January.

The director has said that the refugees will be sent back to Cap-Haïtien, located off the coast of Haiti. Last week, the U.S Coast Guard spotted 300 Haiti escapees in two sailboats in the Bahamas. The Bahamian government suspended repatriations of Haitians after the earthquake, but is placing firmer restrictions across the island.

I just love the double standards , if bahamians were to deport the illegal haitians from their country, nobody says nothing to them about being "racist", or self hating "blacks" but Dominicans get accused of that Bullsh!t , just beacause they want to take care of the ILLEGAL Haitian promblem in DR

@went22

This type of news is important as it's a glaring example of what delgadoMASS has pointed it.

@loscoquitos

Take your unintellectual temper tantrum somewhere else. No Dominicans on this site have stated they are for illegal immigration to Puerto Rico, the vocal majority condemn it and wish economic factors did not push our brothers and sisters to such lengths. DR, PR, Bahamas, USA, China, etc have a right to enforce their laws and borders.

@loscoquitos

That's just what an ignorant fool would say. The Dominican Republic is a country, and it has the right to enforce its border. period.

@locoquitos

Like wents22 said. Also Haitians are the one with the patch of dirt, our side is lush and green. Just wanted to point that out to you. You have no interest in facts or rational debate because all you could muster to my rebuttal was "Yeaaa man whatever." so we'll leave it at that.

Both sides of the island look the same to outsiders.I have seen the tin roof shacks people live in on both side.

If both sides look the same why do they stay clear of one side and flock to another..
Why do they invest heavily in one side and not in another...
Why is one nation supporting itself and not the other..
I have seen tin roofs in PR ,does that make it the same...

Only an absolute moron would compare the two sides but the afrocentric movement is full of morons!

BTW Haitians obviously know the difference between the two sides ,it's just those Haitians outside and Africanists in the US who on a full stomach and in comfort would not see the difference between a 3rd world country and a 5th world country!

You still live in a 3rd world country and that's why your people will always be hustled by smart investors.Just like yellow hair stole America from the native Americans the rich are not only taking your women but your land and natural resources.MORON your eyes can't see because your mind is so twisted.

O my God ...they are taking our women.... You mean they are not willing ,like they are being kidnapped?? LOL

Of course we are not as intelligent as your Haitian people who make sure nobody wants their fugly women and they are very capable of making sure nobody wants to invest in them .That is what Monsieur coquine considers everyone should do .So the world should listen ,follow the successful Haitian formula for "success" .No foreign investment and make sure your women are so ugly nobody wants them..

Hey ,perhaps everyone should do what your people do ...we can all enjoy delicious mud cookies and have anarchy reign ...It almost sounds utopic!

Hey dumb f k I'am a white AMERICAN.Whatever thing you got going on between you and Haitians that your business like I told your dumb azz before you are all the same to rest of the world.By the way is David Ortiz and Valdimiar Gurreuro Haitian or Dominican?

Of course you are white American or perhaps Swedish you frickin liar .
We are used to Haitians and Afronazis coming in under all sorts of guises but the problem is that as you say yourself white Americans don't care about most countries outside the US and even less for a country like Haiti.You can deny your people all you want but your responses and your ghetto speak clearly identify you . Ortiz and Guerrero are SPANISH names which would make them descendants of the original SPANISH slaves and therefore Dominican just like all of us .

I'm sorry some Dominican guy broke your heart and left you but your obsession with us is very childish..
