Here you have two poor countries. Dominican Republic is only SLIGHTLY less poor than Haiti. Notice how the Haitians NEED to trade with Dominican Republic anyways. The Dominican Supreme Court also ruled out birthright citizenship. However, it is a common law country. It's Civil Code. If the law doesn't say you can be a citizen, you can't. Over here we sometimes wonder what in the heck the law really means; hence lawyers.

That may not be good for Haitiat all. It will allow Dominicans to dump all their products in our country which will improve their economy greatly and destroy ours; they will be the producer while we are the consumer. Haiti should focus on its own interest before engaging in this endeavor.

OUR BIGGEST COMMERCIAL PARTNERS ARE THE U.S., SOUTH KOREA, TAIWAN, BELGIUM, HAITI, AND SO ON. THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE COMMERCE WITH HAITI. IT WILL CREATE A PARASITIC RELATION BETWEEN A PEOPLE PRODUCING TRIBE LIKE HAITI (8.4 MILLIONS IN HAITI AND 3.8 MILLION HAITIANS IN THEIR DIASPORA)AND ANOTHER POOR COUNTRY LIKE THE DR. COMMERCE WILL ENCOURAGE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION OF HAITIANS TOWARDS DR CREATING DISPLACEMENT (EMPLOYMENT AND HABITATION), PUBLIC WELFARE (HOSPITAL, HEALTH CARE, HOUSING, AND CAFETERIA PROGRAMS), ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION (TREE FELLING, GARBAGE GENERATION BY THE HAITIANS, ETC.). COMMERCE BETWEEN HAITI AND DR WILL MEAN THE DESTRUCTION OF DR! WE WERE DOING FINE WITHOUT HAITI BEFORE 1980! AFTER 1980 THE HAITIAN POPULATION IN DR GREW FROM 200,000 TO 2 MILLIONS (TODAY'S ESTIMATE 1.1 MILLION ILLEGALS + 0.9 MILLION WITH FALSE CEDULA AND/OR BIRTH CERTIFICATES). |

Again making up number and statistic, there always been Haitian sin DR fool. We dominate you for over 40 years, this dumb B?goot does not realize Haitians have been crossing, living and be part of DR for over 200 years.
Does this goo brain can think at all without, his down entrenched bias torward my Haitian people and his anti black sentiment. You have such a twisted logic, however it does not impress me for that matter no one in this blog either, even any retard can see thru the smoke that you are creating to hide the truth "TurkeY and twist the facts as you see fit your agenda. Seriously you are not funny anymore, and should consider retirement. Frankly I will shed no tears, a bunch of us would just be happy to see you go, do it if you are a real man, exit gracefully at least your children will live better with the !nsurance money. Amen Down with GW Remind you this forum is for real DR and H that want to share concern, not vent racist ideololgy or foolishness. Please feel to create your own blog AMen

Haitis is the poorest country on the western hemisphere...did you mean to say that Haitie is slighty poorer that DR???? |
|

Haitis/Haitie--> Haiti :0)
|
|
They are not the same at all. It is two cultures sharing an island. |
|
|
They are two different coutries economically. Population wise also Dominicans; 11% Black 16% white and 73% mixed and that includes asians, middle eastern, East and West European, North and South Americans. Haiti about 90% Black 9% mixed and 1%white. Pretty big difference.

Although almost all migrants were assimilated into Dominican society (often with surprising speed and thoroughness), immigration had a pervasive influence on the ethnic and the racial configurations of the country. Within a generation or two, most immigrants were considered Dominican even though the family might well continue to maintain contact with relatives in the country of origin. Both the elite and the middle segments of society recruited new members with each economic expansion. The main impetus to immigration was the rise of sugar production in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Nonetheless, some groups had earlier antecedents, while others arrived as late as the 1970s.
Nineteenth-century immigrants came from a number of places. Roughly 5,000 to 10,000 North American freedmen, principally Methodists, came in response to an offer of free land made during the period of Haitian domination (1822-44). Most, however, were city dwellers, and they quickly returned to the United States. A few small settlements remained around Santiago, Puerto Plata, and Samaná. They eventually were assimilated, although English was still widely used in the region of Samaná. Sephardic Jews arrived from Curaçao in the late eighteenth century and, in greater numbers, following independence from Haiti in 1844. They were assimilated rapidly; both their economic assets and their white ancestry made them desirable additions from the point of view of the Dominican criollos. Canary Islanders arrived during the late colonial period as well, in response to the improved economic conditions of the 1880s. Spaniards settled during the period of renewed Spanish occupation (1861-65); many Spanish soldiers stayed after the War of Restoration. Germans established themselves--principally in Puerto Plata--primarily in the tobacco trade. |
