The president of the National Border Council (CNF) Radhames Batista has rejected a proposed legal amnesty for illegal residents in the DR. He said that more than just migration, what happens is that a "family moves with furniture and everything." He said that the Haitian migration problem would be solved when more support is given to the border security force and by helping Haiti overcome the problems that motivate its citizens to migrate. The ruling, which is being promoted by Interior & Police Minister Franklin Almeyda Rancier, suggests granting legal residential status to any Haitian who can prove to have resided in the country for 10 years was also rejected by Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso, on the grounds that it would encourage even more migration. The proposal also indicates that foreigners who can prove having lived here for five years will be given temporary residency. The ruling also suggests granting one-year work permits for temporary workers.
