let me put a twist on this. i've often heard that the haitian working girls charge less money and "do more". that being said less and less dominicanas come out at night to make money because of the number of haitian women. coupled with the dumb gringos that go for the "cheap ones", i could see this coming since last year.....
so now the haitian girls will be scared away and the dominicanas can come back to sosua and charge 2500 pesos...

The last couple of disputes I overheard, the girls were asking for $3000 and they were hatian. Apparently, you guys are paying what is demanded without much argument and no prior negotiation, so the girls just keep trying for more. Makes no sense to me.

Kyle,

You present a very interesting perspective. Do you think the elimination of competition is the real reason, part of the reason, or is this really about DR immigration policy and politics?

Perhaps it is impossible to know with any amount of certainty, but it is interesting, none the less.

Campesina,
With all due respect, money is just paper, but sex is sex. To many men, this isn't about business, it is something much more primal. The cost/benefit ratio is among the the last things being considered in these situations.

Sounds like a good thing to me.
I'm tired of hearing about guys getting pick pocketed.
Hadn't heard about the drugged thing yet, but if that's happening too, I'm pleased to hear that the cops are doing something about it.
Crime can't be eliminated, but controlling it to keep it down is a good thing, IMHO.
PS: They mentioned that some of the detainees were Haitian, but not all of them.

Leaving asside moral issues, health issues, legal issues, abuse issues, crime, and the whole filthy stink of the damned thing -- would anyone agree that the revenue created by the Mongers is of value to the community of Sosua?
I beleive that the AI ers do not contribute a vast amount of revenue to the local economy and that the tourists / expats who eat, drink and live in the community do. I would also say that a lot of these ex-pats / tourists are here if not primarily, then certainly partially because of the hookers.
I honestly did not know of Sosua's reputation before I arrived. I must say that it did not deter me from staying for a few years!

My two cents and OPINION!!!!!

Tourism would fall BIG TIME if prostitution were not legal!!!!!

after reading the latest Adscene here that article gives Sosua a more positive outlook
