STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH BLACK DOMINICANS !

This situation will require serious effort that goes beyond the made-for-tv actions I see being deployed currently on the part of some Haitian businessmen and politicians.

Meanwhile, it is positive to note that some Dominican intellectuals have approached this situation with courage and intelligence. For instance, there are Dominican-American writers who joined Haiti's Edwidge Danticat in calling out this racist measure the DR government is desperately trying to camouflage as "immigration policy".

"The last time something like this happened was Nazi Germany, and yet people are like, shrugging about it".

Several steps need to be taken on both sides of the island in order to resolve this problem that has deep roots in history. One of the most difficult, but also most crucial, steps is the return of Haiti to Haitian rule through legitimate elections as opposed to fake processes controlled by the foreign occupation force - which is quite comfortable with the status quo.

In terms of arrangements made to welcome the Black Dominicans and the Haitian migrants who are being deported to Haiti, they are far below what could have been done. Especially when you consider the months of warning the U.N.(U.S.) occupation forces and their puppets had to prepare for this.

The so-called "president of Haiti" decided to go party with his son in NYC while our compatriots are facing grave dangers at the hand of the corrupt Dominican army and violent mobs.

Martelly is not merely a puppet imposed by Hillary Clinton, via fraudulent elections, he is a dangerous fool whose connections with the most corrupt elements of Dominican politics make him completely useless to Haitians in this situation.

Se pa touris sèlman, se tout pwoduy dominichen pou tout ayisyen boykote.

Kòmanse ann Ayiti, pa achte anyen ki soti lan peyi saa.

Lan Nouyòk oubyen Florid, pa achte ni legim, ni kasav, ni banann dominiken.

Nou gen mwayen pou louvri biznis ayisyen lan tout kote ayisyen ap viv.

SASAYE;

Se sa menm JUNOT DIAZ ak ZANMI l EDWIDGE DANTICAT ap mande.
Gen DOMINIKEN ki ap mande ke si se pa yon ke TIG ,ke gouvenman DOMINIKEN an ap rale ak LWA ou byen MEZI sa a.

Zanmi gouvenman DOMINIKEN an lan DYASPORA a ap MAMOTE ,Y ap di ke se konprann anpil MOUN pa konprann mezi an.

Sa a se yon BLOGE DOMINIKEN ki ap pale ak DOMINIKEN parey yo ki ap voye monte ki ap di KONPAYEL li yo ke yo pa konprann anyen lan anyen e ke sa ap koute DOMINIKANI CHE si yo pa fe BAK:

Dominican Americans: Views Against, And For, D.R.'s Immigration Policy


A controversial immigration policy is roiling politics in the Dominican Republic, and provoking a strong reaction among Dominican Americans as well. Activists, professors, professionals, and others have all taken sides in an unresolved debate over the status of Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic.

For hundreds of years, Haitians have migrated to the Dominican Republic to work in the country's agricultural industry, small factories, and service sector. Traditionally, their children were considered Dominican as long as they were born in the country. This changed in 2010, when the Dominican Republic passed a constitutional amendment limiting citizenship to children of legal immigrants or those with at least one Dominican parent. Then a 2013 court ruling made the law retroactive to 1929 - effectively rendering Dominicans of Haitian descent stateless.

Last year, the Dominican Republic passed another law promising to restore citizenship for children whose births were in the nation's civil registry, and an opportunity for naturalization for others. The registration deadline passed last week, and the Dominican government is reportedly setting up the logistics for mass repatriation. This threat of mass expulsions has stoked tensions among Dominican Americans.

"It's a huge mess," said New York City Council Member Antonio Reynoso. "I just wish the Dominican government had acted more thoughtfully."

What Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent have in common, Reynoso notes, is that they are largely unable to obtain the documentation now required by the Dominican government to stay in the country. Many farm workers don't have copies of their birth certificates, for instance, and the Haitian government has been little help to those seeking necessary documents.
