Really disturbing video.
I once saw a documentary about a poor Haitian ex TTM at a diplomatic gathering in Santo Domingo being "laced" with a tire and set fire with gasoline while still alive and when I disgusted told the crowd watching it was a "barbaric and inhuman" act I was asked to leave rudely by the sponsors of the film.
In their euphoric high and thirst for vengeance all present forgot their humanity.
Dominicans are faced by the same dilemma the captain of a lifeboat adrift in remote ocean waters that was tried for murdering passengers when he decided to expel into the ocean the old, weak and sick passengers out of the lifeboat so the healthy and strong could barely make it to shore with great team effort.
That is basically the DR situation with Haiti. If we continue permitting the Haitians exportation of their poor to DR and the exploitation of their work force by the hungry indifferent business men the DR will definitely sooner rather than later become just like Haiti is today. A chaotic hell hole and ravaged mess.
We must start deporting thousands of illegal Haitians back to their homes and reinforce and seal the
porous border with all the Dominican army, because this is a national emergency that must be faced head on.
If this is not enough then we should allow and recruit civilian volunteer patrols to help police the border alongside the regular army and police.
If we don't take these necessary and urgent steps now then like the story of the lifeboat above, this island is going to sink all together and very soon, and the remainder still alive will have to swim to shore if they are not eaten alive by fellow cannibals or sharks.
It is a national emergency to be faced with energy, valor and determination.

Lautaro, Said
It doesn't help the fact that the dominican elite is in league with the haitian one in the exploitation of that population, nor the fact that the dominican populace, due to survival and the effects of colonialism, couldn't care less about the fate of its counterpart of the western side.

Arkatype, Said I disagree with you're assertion, dominican elites are not in league or in cahoots with the haitian elite that's one big crock. First is their a sizeable haitian elite the answer is no! Who are these elites? most are not even haitian or don't identify with the plight of the majority of the populace. If you call criminals elite well then i have to agree, most of these so called elites are involved in criminal activities. The ghost goverment in Haiti is inept and really is under the auspice and leadership of the U.N. and the 100s of N.G.O.'s in the country are the ones responsible for the feeding and healthcare of the haitian populace. So no Lautaro you're wrong on this one.

Kmnupe, I am really sorry because your Internet experience “has perhaps ruined [your] love for the DR”. We have no interest at all in wining a popularity contest but we passionately appreciate people loving us.

For me, you are a very interesting person and even with our differences I like this interaction with a person from the other side (with the kind of person that you are). If in this island we are going together to someplace is talking with persons like you that we are going to get over there.

Think about it again. You can learn from this Internet experience these truths:
1) Some frustrated Haitians that can not stand what we have done in the Eastern part of our island like (actually they enjoy themselves) to attack us and we can not avoid answering back, usually as roughly as we are being attacked. (We ever, absolutely ever are going to be more inclined to throw in the glove than the towel. That is part of our genetic code.)
2) All the measures that we can take in this part of our island are not going to resolve the serious problems you can find in Haiti. (Of course you are right, we have a hard work to do about some important matters that are affecting your people but the most wonderful results for our efforts in our part are not going to mean a decisive change in the turbulent Haitian life.)
3) You can be certain there is a future for us, Dominicans and Haitians. (We are only telling you that bright common future starts in Haiti not in Dominican Republic. We can not live in harmony with the present Haiti’s situation.)
4) Dominicans do not hate Haiti and Haitians and we gladly would like to participate in a common effort with the international community for helping Haiti to resolve its problems but we are not going to assume that responsibility alone because is completely out of our possibilities.

And you can learn this truth too: we, Dominicans, are very reasonable people and you can try to sustain you points with persons that can use their reason capability to find out right solutions.

We respect your literature, your folklore, your believes and we want a flourishing Haiti with the natural consequences: prosperous commerce between us, cultural exchanges and a better quality life in our common ship: our island. The dark side is this one (and I say it again): if a Haitian wants a fight positively he or she is going to find one.

The day Haitians start to stop provoking us will be the first day of our best common future. It is as simple as that.
