Almeyda defends Haitians

[NewsWhore]

Interior and Police Minister Franklyn Almeyda says that contrary to popular belief, Haitians are more often the victims of violent crimes than the perpetrators. Almeyda explained that the notion that Haitians are responsible for theft and murder is part of a historical prejudice in the DR that places the blame on Haitians. He added that the Haitian issue is one of borders and coexistence, regardless of language and religious differences. The Minister added that a better border policy is needed, which doesn't consist of building a wall, but a border policy that is inclusive of technology. Almeyda also acknowledged the commercial importance of the Dominican/Haitian border.
