The Director for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Brunson McKinley, said at a press conference that increased border patrols, special forces, and an increase of migratory policies will not be enough to stop the mass migration of Haitians into Dominican territory. However, McKinley admitted that the IOM doesn't have a plan in place to tackle the situation, and that it limits itself to offer advice to governments on migration issues. McKinley did state that it is important for both governments to work together to regulate Haitian migration. McKinley had already met with Haitian President Rene Preval, and made these comments at a subsequent meeting at the Dominican Ministry of Foreign Relations. McKinley will meet with Vice President Rafael Alburquerque today for further discussions about the situation. The IOM was founded in 1956 and currently has 118 members.
