Dominicans, not Haitians, expelled from their land to Haiti

Dear editor,

Only 30% of countries in the world grant citizenship through unrestricted jus soli; the US law is, in fact, a rarity; most countries in the world do not, including Haiti (Haiti would not recognize as Haitian any child born in that country to illegal immigrants from DR).

The Dominican constitution stipulates that to be considered a Dominican citizen your parents must be Dominicans or LEGAL RESIDENTS; the Dominican Republic did not change its Constitution, it reasserted a law that was enacted in 1929; Therefore, the people being deported from DR are Haitians under the Dominican constitution; they are also Haitians under Haiti's constitution.

ARTICLE 11 of Haiti's constitution: "Any person born of a Haitian father or Haitian mother who are themselves native-born Haitians and have never renounced their nationality possesses Haitian nationality at the time of birth".

Since you have plenty of time to approve and disapprove each and every posts made on your blog, perhaps you should take some time to educate yourself on the subject before pontificating on it.
