Haitian Exodus: Stricter Immigration Policies Drive Voluntary Departures from Dominican Republic This Sunday, a wave of voluntary departures by Haitian residents unfolded in the Capotillo sector of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The exodus is directly linked to the recent tightening of immigration policies in the country. The video shows numerous Haitians packing up their belongings, loading them onto trucks, and departing for Haiti. One woman interviewed, holding a young child, stated, "The president here doesn't want Haitians here anymore." Another man, a long-time resident, commented on the difficulties of working and living under the new regulations. He stated, "They don't let us work, they take what we have." These accounts highlight the hardships faced by the Haitian community. The video provides a somber yet informative look at the human cost of stricter immigration enforcement. The scenes of families leaving their homes with few possessions emphasize the urgency and emotional weight of the situation. The event underscores the complexities of migration and the need for humane and effective solutions.
