I read that Balaguer is credited with these four rules, according to this link:

'Has recommended that his compatriots never deviate from four rules, which he claims have allowed them, at different periods of their history, to recover their identity and to defend the future of Dominican nationhood"

1. The settling of the border that seperate the two countries
2. The ban on Haitian immigraiton
3. Vigilant border controls
4. The Dominicanization of the border zones.

Was the man right or paranoid as some make him out to be about this specific issue?

USADR

He was a visionary the most important leader in our country without a doubt. Two thing he viewed as future problem for our country the Haitians next door and the enviroment. The father of our country’s democracy. Our lefty never understood the man who helped protect our border the same way he protected our environment. The reason that for the most part our country still green because of his strict environment policy. I remember during his term chop a tree was like killing a human. Balaguer is called racist by our Dominicans traitor and pro-Haitians Dominicans because of those same points you brought. The more they think that way the more I admire Balaguer. Pound for pound aside from Trujillo the only leader we ever had who understood OUR HAITIAN'S PROBLEM. It was a blessing that balaguer was at the front in our country's politic over the last 50 year before he die. Otherwise the peaceful Haitian invasion would have been accelerated. Look what happened over the last 15 year.

He was full of s... If he was so concerned about the inmigration, he could have single handedly stopped most of it. Why didn't he build a border wall with all the millions he wasted on that horrible faro al mojon, colon, sorry...He had the resources, he had the support and he had the time during his supreme reign. Balaguer missed the boat on many things like education, industrialization, environment and inmigration.

Oh great Jossie made his way to the forum just kidding. His gripe is not against the metro this time but the Faro. It is funny one of only two leader of our country who understood our Haitian's problem and you come in here going with your rabieta that he was full of regarding the Haitian's problem. You brought the Faro a Colon why don't you bring the many housing he built for the poor people. The many multi familiar around our country, road and many of our infrastructures that still stand. He had the border secure with the army. We all got blindsided by the lefty’s party once they hold on to power. Do you think is Balaguer fault that his predecessors are all in to get richer first and (sheet) the country later? Hand off everybody and everybody do as they wish.

Dude there was no need to build a wall when Balaguer was in power. Had Balaguer would known this calamity we are going thru I got no doubt he would had done the impossible to build that wall. The reason we all are in arm at this moment is because our lefty’s govt who hid under their bed every time they send a few Haitians back to their country and then get lecture by everybody from NGO, evil Jesuit, pro-Haitian, Dominican traitor, ECT. Balaguer on the other hand was called racist and all kind of crap by this same people and nothing disturbed him regarding protecting our Dominicanismo.. Talking about resource DO YOU know how much money today our country makes every year thru remittances and tourism alone? I bet you don't know. But you do know most of our politician today taking the money to their pocket.

sajoma,
we can still build the border wall. Look how much money they get grom the tourists. $10 for each us citizen per day. Crazy and they say there is no $$$. Everyone goes to DR to blow all of their money and then go back to work, it can be done.

If the DR decided to repatriate the insane amounts of illegal Haitians and build a wall, I would quit my job and volunteer to help in its construction. Am I the only one that believes in this that much?

No you are not the only one. They are many more like you and me who think like that. The people who can't afford to quit their job or take some time off can contribute with money, material, ect.

Vacanos I think you are mistaking me for someone else. I have no problems with the Metro, maybe your man balaguer should have built massive cross-country rail system conecting the south to the north via the border and north to east going through Santiago, Cotui, El Seibo then heading to Higuey, La Romana, San pedro and Santo Domingo. Santo Domingo, San Cristobal, Bani, Azaua, Barahona, Pedernales. Most of these towns have been neglected and their production completely abandoned by subsequent governments. Imagine a country free of Hubieres and his Hyenas???Imagine poor people traveling from the Monte Cristi to the capital in confort, decent and humane transports??Imagine being able to produce things in your own finca in Barahona and have it shipped up to the port in Manzanillo for export in a matter of hours and not days?? If we at least had that, Balaguer's legacy would be more valid.
