François Guillaume II, the Minister of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE) ended his official visit to the Republic of China, Thursday and left Taiwan in the direction of the Dominican Republic for the ceremony of symbolic delivery of documents to the first beneficiaries of the Programme of Identification and Documentation of Haitian Immigrants (PIDIH) and decide on the opening of 3 other missions in order to achieve the objective of 300,000 beneficiaries. An objective that seems barely feasible before the maturity of the Plan of Regularization of Foreigners (PRE) living illegally in the Dominican Republic because since July 21, the launch date of PIDIH just over 15,000 of our compatriots, according to the Minister, would have registered and their records in treatment.

A slowness observed by the Dominican President Danilo Medina, who in his speech to the 69th Ordinary Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations asked the representatives of other nations, to help Haitian immigrants to obtain their identification documents so that they can enroll in PRE, noting that Haiti made great efforts, but however, the technical and financial resources are limited and insufficient.

The Deputy of the National Progressive Force (FNP) [hard right radical] Vinicio Castillo Semán known for its anti-Haitian positions https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12108-haiti-politic-tour-of-anti-haitian-conferences-in-dominican-republic.html expressed support for the President's request to the UN, in the sense that the international community helps Haiti to finance the documentation of its citizens, while warning Dominicans "nobody is fooled, Haiti will not provide the documents to its citizens and plans, that when will complete the National Plan of Regularization, the Dominican government will not be able to deport the illegal as planned," convinced that Haiti will then invoke humanitarian reasons...

This extremist deputy, but no less influential, says that if Haiti reached "[...] its objective and that we can not exercise our sovereign right to deport illegal aliens in our country, with an open border where the illegal immigration has increased shockingly in recent months, they will succeed in the merger between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, it is in their strategic plan and the Dominican State must be prepared to face the greatest challenge it known since the restoration of the Republic."
