Illegal documents for illegal Haitians

[NewsWhore]

The city hall office in the municipality of Los Llanos has reported improprieties in the distribution of birth certificates. Jaime Vasquez, president of the Vicente Celestino Duarte Foundation, reported that the city hall office in the province has been issuing birth certificates to children of illegal Haitian immigrants. He provided a photocopy of one of the documents in question to Diario Libre. According to Dominican law, at least one parent must be a Dominican citizen, with appropriate proof, in order for their child to be a Dominican citizen, whether or not they are born in Dominican territory. Vasquez continued by saying that the illegal activities in the city hall office intensified after the end of sugar cane season, during which many Haitian workers stay on in the country illegally.
