- The Dominican Republic is building a border wall to stop undocumented migrants entering from neighbouring Haiti.
It says it wants to prevent weapons and drug smuggling.
But rights groups say the wall will not keep desperate Haitians out.

This is true whether people like it or not. The Dominican Republic cannot solve Haitians problems and have to right to protect their borders.
and Puerto Rico can’t solve Dominican problems either and they can’t stay out
@@melissadiaztvDominican illegal immigrants are deported from the US all the time (that includes Puerto Rico). Also, Dominicans in PR are not even close in number to the percentage of Haitian immigrants in the DR.
Oh, and PR just take immigrants; nobody calls it to solve the problems of the DR.
@@melissadiaztvPR belongs to USA
Every time they come illegally it costing the taxpayers, also they have the right to inspect, protect their own people in their country
The lovely thing about the situation in Haiti is that the whole world watches, KNOW the reason, but decide to not really do anything about it. Even Haitian’s who are proud and nationalistic about their country want change but don’t know how to go about it. It’s a tall task but DR can’t be the solution to Haiti. DR is flooded with corruption and mismanagement of resources and can’t handle Haiti’s woes.
Yes I agree with most of what you said that the other countries aren't doing enough in aid and DR can only take in so many immigrants but it can definitely take in more Hatian immigrants than it is currently. You acknowledge that the line between Haiti and DR is just an arbitrary dilineation (I assume) as a result of conflict or compromise between the more powerful Spanish and Haitians. By the same token though, every country should be taking more immigrants. I'm not advocating for open borders, I'm just pointing it out and support allowing more immigration in general
@@ocean6462 DR cannot afford to take in Haitian migrants. It's not a rich country. Haitian refugees already pose a major risk to DR and yet they're allowed to trade in border markets to provide for their families. What more do you want? Do you think the downward pressure on wages is good for the Dominican economy? Do you think ex-gang members flooding into a country that has its own corruption problems is advisable? Please only rich countries can afford altruistic and paternalistic behaviors as the ones you've mentioned. This wall should have gone up a long time ago.
@@ocean6462 I wouldn’t say border lines are arbitrary. Humans have always had divisions of their territory to defend and protect from outsiders. We can look at the division between Portugal and Spain for example, a lot of shared history but they are also very different. The same for Same with DR and Haiti. The thing is DR is reaching its tipping point with Haitian immigrants. A country’s education, healthcare, and resources should go to first and foremost the people of that country. What we seen with DR is 80% of patients in hospitals being pregnant Haitian women, and most schools focusing on the education of Haitian immigrants at the cost of their own citizens, that’s going to bring resentment. Even more when you add that the UN tries to point fingers at DR like the racist ones, yet none lift a finger to help Haiti. You can see places like Chile, Mexico and even the Bahamas with its majority black population don’t want to deal with Haitian immigrants and deport them. Haiti’s problems won’t go away just by everyone taking a few thousand immigrants. Haiti needs order.
@@theinternetsavedmylife That’s what we are saying here in America! Send your people back cross the water too.
@@robinrogers3982 in the case of America there's an argument that it's just in the country and public's interest to have more refugees/ immigrants bc we want more people to fill the huge number of vacant jobs we gave due to the labor shortage, and that won't necessarily drive down wages, especially if new jobs and profitable businesses are created by both Americans and immigrants, adding to the economy
As a Haitian I support this. The DR gotta do what it has to do to protect its country. *shrugs*
yet tge Dominicans can’t stay out of our coasta in Puerto Rico
@@melissadiaztvAt least we are a sovereign country😊
@@Kwone503what is your nationality? You do realize that most PRs do not think like toward there Dominican neighbors. Generally they embrace them as cultural cousin and genetically almost the same people. Also PR was occupied, many PRs till this day are fighting for control of the land back. So you are wrong my friend. The fight is still going on. Now what nationality are you to talk such disrespect towards PRs? Just curious….
@@Renzee-ct4wz well I’ve never been to PR my brother, and this lady I replied to has made several comments in different videos on Dominicans being looked down upon in PR and saying how much Puerto Ricans hate Dominicans, and as a Dominican I simply believed her. if that’s not the case, and my people aren’t being discriminated against there (unless they do something wrong) me knowing how much love my people show, then I apologize to you and Puerto Rico my friend.
@@Renzee-ct4wz Much love to Puerto Rico 🇩🇴🇩🇴❤️🇵🇷🇵🇷
I'm Jamaican and I'm thankful that Jamaica is it's own island. Haitians also use boats to get to Jamaica. Haiti needs to fix its own country and that's it . Stop going to other people's countries . It looks shameful .

LOs problemas de Haití se resuelven en Haití .y ningún país tiene obligación de echarse esa carga encima ..RD es el único país que tiene más de 5 millones de ilegales Haitianos y el presupuesto de salud se gasta en las atenciones a los haitianos en un 45% .esto a expensa de la salud del dominicano .por año nacen en RD más de 35 mil niños haitianos y de gratis. En las escuelas no hay cupos para el niño dominicano porque está lleno de niños Haitianos. .dime un solo país que tenga esa carga y la RD no tiene obligación con ellos y como quiera somos malos racista . Yo espero que la ONU USA y otros se hagan cargo de ellos ..la RD es un país pobre y con muchas necesidades y apoyamos al pte Abinader con el muro y la deportación de ilegales .los que critican pues que se lleven par de millones para su país .y veremos si el gas pela.

Always funny that. Shows a country via satellite rather than imaginary borders.

1. Haiti became the world's first black-led republic and the first independent Caribbean state when it threw off French colonial control and slavery in the early 19th century. But independence came at a crippling cost.
The United States also did not want the Haitian revolution to reach the blacks in the states, which is why they put long-term sanctions on it until they sank the country's economy.
Now my question is….
Should we blame the Dominican Republic for Haitians' misery? Or
Should we blame France or US?
I would love to read your comments on these questions.
Built a wall 100 feet high. Have to get them all out and keep them all out.
The Haitian people need to get together and rise up and help their country out! They should not expect the Dominican Republic which is a poor country in its own, to take care of them. DR barely has money to take care of their own problems and the media keeps acting like, DR should abandon their people for another country’s people that their own government has failed to do.
Excelente Respuesta. Quieren obligarnos a convivir con una cultura diferente a la nuestra, pero Estados Unidos no quiere Haitianos en su territorio y quieren unir los países, pero son dos países muy distintos. Quieren destruir la República Dominicana, pero el Dios altísimo no lo va a permitir. Dios Patria & Libertad.
What the hatian people need to do is make deals with Russia and China since no other countries seem to give to cents about their plight, their sufferings , they're a free country, hey hatian people do you get Russia and China on your side of the border let them explore for oil on your shore side of your country who knows you are probably rich and not even know it you're aloud to do business to bring your people up ,that's the only way your are going to get rid of the poverty that was put apon your by the powers that be good luck and God bless you back from what they took from you.
We are willing to prevent the from happening we are a country with different culture and we are not going to allow any further than it's had gone because we have more than half of Haiti illegally in DR and we can't handle another country problems when we have our own issues to deal with like for few examples are poverty, crime and corrupt politicians. It's a messy situation mixing two third world poor countries together especially different culture to deal with each other difference with a dark past at history
Nothing will get better until the world comes to terms with the fact that the average IQ in Haiti is 67... they literally can not help themselves.
Nah. Not a poor country in its own. Not “a poor country in its own.” /
The Dominican Republic is doing the right thing. I wish the journalists would make a more sincere effort to be as objective as possible.
Those with an average IQ of 67 are a burden to themselves and any country foolish enough to admit them.
@Marek Cracovia why should a country take care of another country specially with liable men in that nation. Haiti has been like this going on over 100 years they gotta get their act right.
@Marek Cracovia I agree with you in that. They should leave them alone.
@Marek Cracovia and this is beside the haitians groups who take over land that’s not there’s and build slums to live in marginally in our country

The Dominican Republic is a sovereign country and has laws that need to be enforce and respect. The Dominican Republic is the country that has helped Haiti the most on every aspect of life. The Dominican Republic is a poor country that has limited funds and economy and the United Nations can't expect the Dominican Republic to carry with its own problems plus Haiti problems, no way. Countries like the USA, CANADA, FRANCE, are countries that want the Dominican Republic to take care of Haitians. But let me remind you this..... FRANCE exploited Haiti for decades in cruel slavery, the USA occupied Haiti for 19 years taking advantage of this poor country And Canada just do and support everything the other two do. USA, FRANCE, CANADA Are richer and bigger than The Dominican Republic, if they want to help Haiti then go and get about 2millions Haitians out of the Dominican Republic and give those illegal pleople papers and make them your problem now. DR FOR LIFE 🇩🇴🇩🇴

In todays America the black community is the most divisive with not only each other but with other races because in their mind the "white men bad" mentality will always hold control over their lives and they have influenced Haitians through this which is why DR for decades now have received the whole "Racism" debacle that is never eneding, although when you actually go to the DR as a person of color you will see that Everyone there for the most part won't judge you based on skin color but rather how you conduct yourself. DR has never dealt with Racism like haiti did with itself and America because of this Dominicans have always judge itself based of classism above all. The problem with classism is that it is usually tied into lack of wealth which ties into Poor Haitians being "Mistreated" in such a society because everyone knows the Haitian culture is based off SUb-sahran Africans which is like 99% distinct from that of Dominicans which is extremely influenced from the spanish rule.
Dominican Republic cannot withstand the Situation in Haiti. Dominicans are tired and have had enough. Dominican Republic belongs to Dominicans.

Tanto k jodn con RD 🇩🇴
I have a problem with your inaccurate reporting. The Haitian man said in Spanish “it’s a single island” while explaining why the wall won’t stop them. Bad translation on your part.
That’s very important to translate correctly because he’s basically expressing a common Haitian sentiment whereby they don’t recognize Dominican sovereignty. They see it as their entire island because they had occupied the DR for 22 years and want to invade again.
Incorrect a little... Haitians don’t want to occupy the country militarily. They know they’re nowhere close to as capable as when the country was first formed. The impossibility of keeping Haitians out that he speaks of is accurately based on the facts that even before the wall; Dominicans have always had steady control of the border with frequent deportations yet Haitians are always present chiefly by way of corrupt Dominican border authorities who are incentivized to smuggle Haitians in, the agricultural sector that has been dependent on cheap labor courtesy of starving Haitians since practically forever, and the logistical challenge of How many Haitians- MANY Haitians are crossing the border vs the man power of Dominicans patrolling. Yes, many have a sense of entitlement to being on the other side but you left out that Dominicans exploit it 24/7. The translation is on point.
@@recklessralphfromqueens8383 Do you speak and write Spanish? You don’t because you would immediately know the translation is DEAD wrong.
@@lucyd3750 He was only picked up on audio saying “sola una isla”. Everything else would be depending on the translator . There’s absolutely no way for you to certify if the translation was on point. I’m just simply putting that (what the Haitian said directly for you and I to hear), the translotor’s relay together with what I know, and dare to assume you know as well. Dominican business owners, the soldiers patrolling the border, virtually every sector of the Dominican economy face incentives to not be so patriotic or ethical. Let a Haitian pull up to Jimani or Dajabon w/stack of pesos or dollars especially - it’s a wrap. He/she will be around for months unscathed. They’re a major factor of how so many Haitians are drawn to crossing the border on top their desperation, self entitled disrespect for Dominican sovereignty, whatever. The headcount of deported Haitians hauled back into Haiti on a weekly is MASSIVE. Yet the presence of Haitians in the DR is only continuing to grow. We’re not even going to factor the exodus of Dominicans leaving to PR or Mainland US. Once you do that you’ll see whether the dude is speaking nefarious or not, it’s a legit point in practical terms . That’s where my confidence in the translator comes from.

No country does. But because we’re so rich and successful we’re automatically the first place people think should “step in”. That’s bullshyt. This level of dysfunction has been typical Haitian since France was running the island. This dysfunction is the direct reason why the DR is building these walls and is generally hostile to all things Haitian. If your island neighbor won’t help why in the world would you think anyone else should or would?
1. Haiti became the world's first black-led republic and the first independent Caribbean state when it threw off French colonial control and slavery in the early 19th century. But independence came at a crippling cost.
The United States also did not want the Haitian revolution to reach the blacks in the states, which is why they put long-term sanctions on it until they sank the country's economy.
Now my question is….
Should we blame the Dominican Republic for Haitians' misery? Or
Should we blame France or US?
I would love to read your comments on these questions.
Blame DR, for their actions. that's what you blame them for, smfh.
I do not think people blame the DR for Haiti problems. The media are demonizing the DR and some racist Dominican (every single country have racist people not just white countries...), Some racist Dominican are very vocal thus puting oil on the fire.
What people are criticizing is the threatment. And all those noise and finger pointing will only make things worse

@@Monica-kd6ny If you knew history, you would have not say this... History lesson :
Haiti gained its freedom, but... NO SINGLE country wanted to recognise a self governed black country especially the US who did not want their slaves to mimic Haiti. So the whole western world just isolated Haiti... No trade, no diplomacy, nothing. Then Haiti told France that they have to recognize them, France said "Ok only if you pay us"...
Worse, some times later, the US bought Haiti debt from France and... They just went to haiti and stole all their monetary reserve.

Build two walls
BUILD THE WALL!
America does it it a problem . Some one else no problem
thats on your politicians, your politicians are sellouts
America already has a wall though theres always been a wall but not in certain spots because those who cross in that area face a journey where those no vegetation, water no civilization for 100’s of miles so going on foot will likely end in the death . And if they do make it 9/10 they will get caught by border patrol. and plus the us/ mexican border is extremely long . The Dominican/ Haitian border is only 240 miles which is more practical and cost efficient to build
Nope its still a problem. The left wingers from USA and Europe accuse Dominican Republic of fascism for controling our border. They say we are like Nazis wannabes. These people are ridiculous and we shouldnt stop listening to them
@@kelvinacero6429 Hypocrites always have excuses.
@@malekkushimuzik3580 when your neighboring country is in disarray and you’ve been the only one actually helping them for decades . While western media and governments just talk and do nothing and the countrymen of Haiti have no option but to flee because their government,the world and fate has failed them and the end result is no gas , no food or no water , no housing, no jobs and no assistance , plus your country never recovered from am earthquake that happened 11 years ago and your president was assassinated and the police are corrupt and the country is run by violent gangs and the country you call home has been discriminated against for being the first black republic for centuries and forced to pay a national debt for gaining independence from its colonizer causing mass poverty……. You flee to a better life somewhere where they will take you in . For a while thats been The Dominican Republic. But The DR cant save nor bring in everybody . The DR is a poor country with its own problems . And overloading it with immigrants seeking asylum isn’t contributing to the DR’s prosperity and growth . The DR isn’t america wether it comes to monetary or military strength means . So that being said the best way to combat the mass migration is to put a barrier In between the two nations so that theres only one port of entry the safe legal way . That can sort out who’s coming and going in . The DR also has a law that states just because you are born here doesn’t mean your automatically a dominican citizen . Only if one of your parents is atleast a dominican citizen . But people interpret it for being racist when in reality its not its just seen that way because Haitian are 98% genetically black but it all has to do with your parents ancestral background ties to the country .so no Malek its not hypocritical its the only logical solution to an aging problem.
Good job
We MUST protect our country. We gotta keep it sabe from the histórical ofenders of the DR.

Dominican border should be like north Korea border! We have more than 2 millions haitians! We can't help no more!
If the world is watching what’s goin on in Haiti and not doing anything , is as if they wanted to also destroy DR . The DR is the the country that has the most Haitians illegals in the entire world , I think it’s right for some to be deported or would you rather Legal Haitians not be able to go to DR because illegals have taken all the space that is meant for actual hardworking people that follow proper vetting and procedures.
50,000 that's false .. I seen at least 30,000 in three months

Seems to have no problem allowing European people in there countries and the DR refuses to admit the real reason they refuse Haitian people into their side of the island 🏝 which is one land mass Hispanola
I guess DR has over 10 million illegal European immigrants in their country living off their country's resources and messing up their health system. Let's ask Bahamas, oh no way, let's ask Chile or maybe we should ask Mexico, seems like they are having trouble with the poor innocent Haitian immigrants lately.... lol
Then take them to live with you.

What about Puerto Rico.. they have to build 2 walls.. but is sad people getting separated. By race ..
Ok ,so what is the fuss about ?
That’s racism Dr.

The only change Haiti need to do is to stop the budu and start to believe in God that is why they are like this look how we are in the Dominican republic all good because we believe in God if the budu was good they should be the best country in this planet but not
Please don't say that. That is false and sends the wrong message. There are thousands of Christians in Haiti. If you truly believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, pray for Haiti. Jesus loves them, just like Jesus loves you.
@@rondeisel ✌️
Haitians can fix their country but the US and their puppets EU, Canada have a death grip on their neck and they won't let go. The west chooses their corrupt leaders and puts in place a corrupt arab/jewish oligarchy to rape the country. Let Haitians BREATHE.
Why y’all always keep saying Haiti is the way it is because of religion…I mean…seriously? Get your facts together, Haiti was doomed from the start, they were just a bunch of slaves who because of brutal mistreatment, they resented their white oppressors and decided to fight for independence, but they never had a plan in mind to build a great nation, they just knew they wanted to be free, once they were independent, the founding fathers split the country in two (Haiti of the south and Haiti of the north) bc they couldn’t even agree about who was going to take charge, and to this day that’s pretty much what’s been going on in there, it’s coup after coup after coup, and on top of that France hindered their development from the very beginning by charging them for their independence.
@@Jean-vp1yr ok agree but my country had the same thing back in the days and we move forward haiti use to be productive before they just mess up anywhere they are believe it or not they need to stop the budu look how much earthquake they have and we not have it on the other side and is one island. Look how many hurricane 🌀 and people die because of it they sell they country to the evil look in the history. And they say the Dominican republic are bad to them and we never kill Haiti people and look how they kill us with the machete we like them but they can't bihaviour anywhere they go ✌️

@@plankalergui9839 why are you angry? You have no plan but you want things not to improve for the Haitian people. Not every vision is a bla bla bla. It all starts with a vision.
Yet the dominicans can’t stay off our coasts here in Puerto Rico. They come in illegally so I guess I’ll contact ICE when I see them since they feel so strongly about the Haitians not going in their country.
I made a few vids
The DR is THE WALL between Haiti and PR. Without us PR wouldn’t exist today. And you need to understand something, Dominicans started to flew their country after the invasion of the country that owns PR. They probably knew that will be happening. If you don’t want Dominicans there you should be supporting our country in solving the immigration crisis. 😅
The world should help. What happen to the human rights commission????
Sorry, the world only cares about Ukraine. No other countries matters
The human rights commission wants the Dominican Republic to help Haitians, we Dominicans want to help Haitians but in Haiti, not in the Dominican Republic. Dominicans will not allow the UN to open refugee camps in Dominican territory.
…. Concentration camps 🙄
@@jacobtaylor5503 Sorry, *refugee camps.
Where is UN, US, European, Canada and Frances that did the most damage to Haiti? All they do is talk about the Haiti problems and do nothing to help.
Cowards if you tell me
At this point, since Haiti is effectively an anarchy anyway, Haitians should just invite DR in to take over governance, doubtful if people in DR would want that though...
We don't. We do not have the money and resources to take care of Haiti. Are you serious? One of the 'first world countries' should do what you are saying instead, I just don't understand why is it that people from the outside suggest these things, it's crazy to me.
@@thedollpretty91 It wasn't a serious suggestion, tongue-in-cheek.

One day the Dominican Republic will pay for what they done . History is repeating and it not a good look
Pay for what? For the use of our sovereignty? Haiti has its own land, its not our responsibility to deal with people that do their physical needs on the curb. They use our hospitals, giving birth to thousands of children in our country paid by our taxpayers!!!
Yes
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC? you mean Haiti? Ok I agree!
It's actually the other way around
The crazy thing is people are always cool with this ignorant stuff until it affects or happens to them... This is like US not allowing Mexicans to cross over but we're all physically attached to the same country lands... This is just inhumane
They born in the same island dr and Haiti same Brothers why this war
Most people in the DR want to be perceived as white; unfortunately, Haiti is too close for comfort because the Haitians, with their black uniformity, reminded them of their DNA. Thus fueling their hatred, they fear that Haitians will darken their country. Years ago, when Haiti was exporting coffee and other stuff, the Haitian economy was good, and the DR economy took a plunge because of cooperative business. There were lots of Dominicans working in Haiti. Even some Dominican women involved in the old trade were treated exceptionally well in Haiti. Now, things are reversed. Haitians are under gangs and political oppression. They look to their neighbor for help, and the DR, instead of helping, is involved in practice violating their human rights. Shame on the DR.
It really saddens me that there is people like you spreading these lies. Haitians receive FREE health care services in the DR, they get jobs, they get housing... THERE ARE MILLIONS of them living in the DR - SO YES, WE ARE HELPING, WE DID HELP. There are Dominicans as dark as Haitians that live peacefully here. Almost everyone here has a member in their family with different skin colors; from the lightest shade to the darkest, and we live perfectly fine. There is racism EVERYWHERE, so of course there is racism in the DR. But for you to comment as if a whole country is racist because we're building a wall and are trying to protect our country from the gang violence in Haiti and illegal immigration, it's just unfair. We've helped Haiti a lot throughout the years, we're one of the countries that has helped them the most.
We have the right to protect our borders and to focus our resources on our people instead. We don't owe Haiti anything, we are not so developed to be able to take care of a country that it's in ruins.
Stop living in the past and looking to blame others for your problems. Start fighting for your side, so it can recover, I can feel the hatred towards the DR that you feel without any reason at all. If you're Haitian, fight for your country on your side!
