On the other hand, illegals in the States receive top notch emergency medical care, their kids go to public schools, and basiclaly they are treated with the same rights as a taxpaying citizen while they send their earnings back over the border. This is at obvious great expense to the US taxpayer. In the DR there isnt the level of services to defraud.

I had a Haitian working for me and took him to Bornugal Hospital instead of the ´public´ butcher because of the horrible care in the public POP clinic. But, I paid for his care out of pocket.

You are assuming incorrectly 1.) that all these children are not US citizens and 2.) that the illegals do not pay taxes. Also you are ignoring the fact that the US has for more than a century considered the education of its young residents to be, if not a matter of national security, at least ranking with it and public helath as an essential benefit to the nation regardless of its value to the recipients. Therefore, the issue of taxpaying is not even relevant.

Yes yes, I know Chip used to live in Orlando, Florida; but lets be realistic. Central Florida is chock full of former New England and Mid-Atlantic residents and despite being in a different environment, many of them still act as if they are still in the northeastern United States.

Reserved is an understatement when it comes to describing the typical New England native.

Its the most difficult aspect for a non-American to become accustomed to.

I've met a few Americans from the Midwest, and they also complain of the reserved nature of Americans from the northeast.

Personally, I think the weather has something to do with this.

No, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s just that we can see right through the facade, and we know that you don’t like us without the benefit of you actually saying it to us.

Its mostly limited to some Puerto Ricans and some Haitians and the Cuban infiltrated media in Miami. Everyone else that shows any signs of anti-dominicanism has been influenced by propaganda from either of those people and/or their NGOs, for the most part.

The true Cuban elite exiled in Miami is very much at home in the DR (same goes for the Puerto Rican elite and to a much lesser extent the Haitian elite). Many of them are well known in the upper class Dominican social circles and visit the DR quite often. A few own second homes in the DR and some even made the move from Miami to the DR (example: the Fuentes family).

^yes I know but alot of them dont really like the average dominican and are very vocal about it.

But you are right they are influential and have strong interests in our country.

As for everybody else,its not progranda,brother.Its flat out racism.

Most other hispanics dont like us either but they all want to visit our country,retire in our country,purchase a vaction home in our country or date one of us.

Case in point:Colombians in Queens.Dont like us,we're all little darkies,drug dealers,gang bangers and drunks who talk incomprehensible slang.

Yet go to a dominican club,party or bar in Queens and its nothing BUT colombians.

Repeat for every other Hispanic group.
