Dominican Republic Enforces Strict Immigration Controls on Haitians with 100-Mile Wall and Drones

Sep 15, 2024, 02:01 PM

The Dominican Republic has implemented stringent measures to control immigration from Haiti, including the construction of a 100-mile wall and the use of drones for surveillance. The country has also been deporting, remigrating, and denaturalizing Haitians who are in the Dominican Republic illegally. These actions have raised questions about the Dominican Republic's policies, including why Haitians are not allowed to visit, why Haiti has no food while the Dominican Republic has plenty, and whether these measures are considered racist.
