Edward Juarez Pagliocco, director of the International Immigrant Foundation, is urging Dominicans to wait for the new immigration laws in the United States to be passed before they decide to try to travel to the US and remain there illegally. Juarez says that Dominicans need to be patient and that the new immigration laws would favor them. The foundation develops educational programs and guides people who are interested in going to live in the United States legally. Juarez, who was interviewed by Diario Libre, says that the general Latino community in the US has a very positive image of Dominicans, but there is still a negative perception of Dominicans by the wider US public. He did however point out that this has changed favorably in recent years. Juarez also said that more collaboration between Latino communities in the US was needed, and that Dominicans who reside in the country illegally should begin their legalization process immediately.
