let the coli tell it that they on some kumbaya shyt like how they are here with white people tho :lolbron:

Being in Brooklyn around Caribbean immigrants I didn't feel any tension between the islands. There was a dislike of Haitians by Jamaicans which I never understood, but I never heard stories of Jamaicans targeting Haitians for anything.

you know I'm starting to think the republicans should have full say in our immigration policies and deport these Dominicans here

We are very populated and have way to many people coming here they should send them and their kids who were born here back

I agree. Deport every single Dominican back home. I pay way too much taxes to pay for them when they're a strain on the economy :camby:

dude you know how dumb you sound....

say that in your fairytale land the U.S. decides to deport all Dominicans there are economic retaliation that would fukk up the white man's money with their investments in resorts, franchises tied up in DR. DR will simply take their land back and send their asses back...so stop slime!

too bad the only thing Black Americans can do is march to retaliate

Here comes the racism now. Like Dr. Clark said, black people you have no friends.

Here's a Democracy Now! interview with a Haitian-American novelist Edwidge Danticat on Dominican Republic's "ethnic purging"

http://www.democracynow.org/2015/6/17/the_dominican_republics_ethnic_purging_edwidge

Also, the Dominican government has made it exceedingly difficult over the years for migrants and children of migrants to prove their nationalization. There is very small percentage of those that have been stripped of their right to nationality that have been able to successfully obtain the level of documentation being asked for by the D.R. government. Here is a good overview of the issue from the Open Society for Justice Initiative and the Center for Justice and International Law produced in 2012.

Any appeal to legality and procedure becomes irrelevant when the laws and procedures are proven to be unjust and unfair.

It's analogous to defending Jim Crow or Nazi policies by saying "Well, it's the law" or "This is just standard procedure".
