Except for the use of "the Dominican" the article reflects what we have been telling people for ten years....

They are tickets out of the Dom Rep for people that will never leave.

This is amazing I hope it becomes a warning to all of those who think they found love in the lobby, that bar or by the pool. Great article. As has always been said in many of these post these guys continue to support their wifes and kids back home. Remember the one about older women who went down there for the men as well. Can't find the thread but its on here.

The love with foreigners and with good ending story in DR, for 10 years that I stay in DR, as of now, sorry guys, I haven't heard too many. ONLY ONE CASE IS BETTER GOOD ENDING ( however the German guy stops helping his wife's family, because he can not put up with continuous asking this , asking that, again and again, besides his wife family members are young)

My american friend told me he knows 20 Americans who married with Dominicana, all marriages ending up in divorce and separate. , that is not a joke, that is a serious mentality problems. Just imagine how many % that DR has for single parent??, divorce and separation for most of Dominicans just like to change another place to rebreathe the fresh air.

The definition of "LOVE" for most of Dominicans is: money, easy life, good house, new staffs (electronics, car), bed, furniture, clothes, jewelry.....etc. Unfortunately, they never think about how marriage couple should work together with passionate, consideration, budgeting, planning, implementing to purse the life objectives.

So you call resort workers low-life most dominicans?? What about the educated ones that lives on the cities, has full time jobs or have succesful business? I know Sankies has broken some tourist hearts but to to say MOST DOMINICANS ONLY CARE ABOUT MONEY is a bit insulting.

It's also racist.

I agree. I've met thousands of Dominicans in the past 33 years, and for the most part they're hard working, family-oriented people. I'm proud to call my husband's family 'my family'. ALL of them qualified for US citizenship or green cards, but only one sister lives in the US - the brothers all live in SD and live for their families. Two of them turned in their green cards to the US Embassy. Don't tell me they're the exception - I know too many of their cousins and friends who are exactly the same way. Two of our nieces have university degrees in Hotel Management, and believe me, they are far from sankies.

Are there some bad apples in the bushel? Of course. Show me a country where there aren't any.

I like the idea of the 2 year conditional period although it might just make the price higher and the pain worse for both, rather than weed out the fraudsters.

Although this would likely make some abusive control freaks even worse, making it more likely that legitimate people would throw in the towel, this is all the more reason that both parties should choose wisely and they can sleep in the bed they made.

A routine background check to at least make sure the person is really single and not a hardened criminal should be mandatory.
Obviously I mean before the marriage, not after he/she leaves.

Deport the fraudsters immediately and give the bill to the one who brought them here.
They are the ones who were defrauded, not us.
