By the way, thanks Dolores that was very clear.

Exactly! If you are a foreigner in the DR, given as you said to reside out of status due to either one of the examples you made; then by a good margin your kids won't get a BC as they'll be considered to be "in transit".
It don't matter the race or nationality of the children and parents, but their legal status in the country.
The DR has been allowing pregnant women come from Haiti for the sole purpose of having their kids free of charge in Dominican Hospitals. Now imagine if we allowed every single pregnant woman to come to the DR to have their kids and also get Dominican citizenship just because they were born here?
