I also pay the 'fine' every time I leave for overstaying my tourist card!
If you'd watched the clip you'd have know that I for one believe 'illegals' SHOULD be deported! What I don't agree with is some American spouting half truths and putting down a foreign country he obviously knows little about for doing what his government does on a daily basis (same game-different players!!).

Why demonstrate against a third world country when the first world country you live in does exactly the same thing even tho' they are more able to deal with the ramifications of 'illegal' immigrants and certainly have the funds (well maybe not with all the war zones they're involved in) to 'accomodate' the illegals that are entering their country. Not to mention their need for labourers to do the 'dirty' jobs Americans don't want to!

When one sees (and experiences) the lack of medical services available to the Dominican poor then reads that 40% plus of the national health budget goes to caring for illegal Haitians to give birth in Dominican public hospitals, one just wants to 'smack' some sense into the head of the dunce talking in the video!!!

BTW- I 'live' in Juan Dolio, not Boca Chica (but I DO have friends there )

Interesting questions. Care to elaborate a bit more.

The guy is a total idiot. Should read more history books.

I checked out the mentioned web site, which was a truly enlightning experience as it explains all the BS:
They are not about Haiti or any country per se, no sir, they are GLOBAL... they call themselves "The Internationalist Group, section of the League for the Fourth International" Whoaw! Now, that truly sounds like some backyard weekend jeddi knights Asc., but no, wrong again, they claim to: "... fight for international socialist revolution, the conquest of power by the working class, led by its Leninist party, championing the cause of all the oppressed." ... the evil empire again, trying to strike back.
In other words BoneHead, LLC on the loose, just what we needed. Don't these guys learn from past history? I mean, unlike the poor souls who had to live thru the dark ages of Leninism and what followed in some eastern countries, one would like to believe that these guys have some access to international history books. Don't they realise that they can only blare out their dumbness so freely because they don't live in a world they so much wish to create?

In other words... no, I can't agree.
