Haitians And Dominico-Haitian Case Study

Haitians and Dominico-Haitians are minority in Dominican Republic. They do the dirty work congricult construction etc) and get pay less than half of what Dominican make. Haitians live in poverty in the Dominican Republic (Ferguson 308-311). Dominico-Haitians, those who origin born in the Dominican Republic and those born from one or both haitians parent face the same faith or being deported to Haiti because their have problems in ¨proving¨ their Dominican citizenship and their fundamental rights (Ferguson ,312). The dominican government does not want to recognize the haitians right of getting citizenship, not even for those who have born originally in dominican soil, the law should recognize every child born in D.R not matter what nationality

A Dominican government plan could deport tens, if not hundreds of thousands Haitian migrants (Kohut, 2015). Haitians are afraid to be deported to Haiti, many of them crossed the border as a child or born in D.R. Haitians crossed every market day to D.R. to sell their goods because the economic in their side of the island is too poor to commercial. Many of them had immigrated to D.R. looking for better future for their family. The government is shutting down their dreams like it shut down the border bridge without making sure every Haitian had crossed it. As this picture shows the river is not high and does not had a lot of current but while the parents are securing their goods a small child walking through can draw. The gate show be open until each Haitian crossed it. In this photo is clear that Haitian are not allowed to stay in Dominican Republic not even to spend the night until the border gate open. They know if they stay would be deported and would not be allowed to sell in the market. The law should provide shelter for
