The Government will build a wall at the border town El Carrizal, western Elías Piña province, to control the flow of people and goods to and from Haiti, “seeking effective and efficient actions in the security of the area,” Customs said on Tues.

Customs spokesperson Lissette Selman told El Dia that the border wall will delineate the Dominican and Haitian territories with stricter Customs control and will help Haitian customs collect the duties on the goods that enter that country.

Precedent

In 2013 Haitian authorities built a wall nearly eight kilometers from the Dominican Immigration and Customs offices Selman said that in addition to the wall, offices will be built for other agencies including Immigration and Border Security.

A recent articles in reputable news sources here (i.e. not Sosua News lol), wrote that they have now amassed more than 8,000 troops along the border in anticipation of a possible mass exodus.

The situation in Haiti has been deteriorating rapidly for the last several months. I here stories most daily........and they're not pleasant. Hoping for intervention/ whatever soon......and order is restored. Good people in a crazy situation.

Wary of US Budget cuts, NYC Dominicans start packing their bags


https://dominicantoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/dominican-parade-NY-boston-flags.jpg

New York.- Dominicans living in New York City say they’re preparing to return to the Dominican Republic after learning that the US budget submitted by president Donald Trump for the next fiscal year includes substantial cuts in health, housing and education services.“You know how it is, immigrants will not be able to live in US territory,” caution Dominicans in the Bronx, Upper Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, who, as usual declined to give their names or being photographed, “because you know how it is.”They labeled Trump’s decision is inhumane for trimming the budget to those agencies, which jeopardizes tens of millions of Americans.
