Padrinos usually traditionally pick up the tab for at least the booze at these affairs and that means buying for the family and their 450 cousins who will now attend as they know a gringo is the padrino...LOLQuote:

One of those between a rock and a hard place situations IMO.
Only sucks if you like Haitians. Shouldn't matter one way or another if you're into Dominicanas.Quote:

Has anyone heard of any crackdowns any where else, Santiago, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Semana? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

As you already know, that could be worth 100 times more then what you will spend on a baby's dress:wink:Quote:

For the first time in a week, I walked P.C.. From 930pm to 1045pm, I saw no Poli-Pussies and no arrests. Many Haitianas in the bars. I cannot explain the inconsistencies of this police state!
That's because you haven't lived here long enough yet.Quote:

They take that stuff seriously here.
Probably more to it I am sure, but can only go by the advice of my ex, who was born here, and I spoke to her before pulling the trigger, as well as had her talk with him. I also was on the other side, as my daughter received her first Communion and Confirmation in this country.Quote:

Because I do know they take that stuff seriously, it will be helpful that I can say that.
Compadres!! It might have gotten ugly of you had said no. At least in Santiago, saying no to an offer to be compadres is like telling that person you want nothing to do with them and might ruin the friendship.Quote:

As I said, I considered it an honor to be considered.
I don't know where you were walking along P.C to miss all the POLITUR active., but I can tell you that I was at Rumba and well as El Cultivo from about 730-1000 and saw POLITUR all over the place and let me be more specific by saying that I saw about three groups of POLITUR motoconchos and two POLITUR Pick-ups active. Also several POLITUR walking about.Quote:

Several motoconcho guys just watched so I did stick around until the POLITUR drove off with them around 1030pm. Right after I spoke with the security guy at the bank next to SUPER SUPER and he told me that the POLITUR was cracking down on the Haitianas because of the new immigration laws and if they are undocumented they are sent back to Haiti-through Puerto Plata first though. He said there was a tourist killed recently by two Haitianas and he was robbed of alot of money, but he did not know if it also played a role in the crackdown.
LordG and I were on Clisante between 9pm and 11pm and the police presence was very noticeable. A politur truck was parked at the corner of Rosen and Clisante in front of that vacant building the entire time we were there together chatting. As I was walking back to the hotel a little after 11pm, two cops were detaining a Haitian girl about half way up Rosen from Clisante near Hotel Don Antonio. Last night's action was not near as aggressive as the beach raid a few days ago but it was most certainly heavier than the normal from my experiences here.
Again anoche, the Poli-Pussies and AMRATS were doing their evil deeds!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:Quote:
