Have you heard this before?

A country is removing your birth right to the country you were born in just because your parents are from another country. This is exactly what has been happening in the Dominican Republic. Many Dominican citizens are having their citizenship taken away from them not because they have become citizens of the country and decided to violate the law. The only crime that these people who were born in the country committed was to have one or two of their parents to come from the neighboring country of Haiti.

This has given rise to a new class of people. These children who are born in the Dominican Republic of Haitian parents should be called country or stateless. The Dominican government should not be allowed to do something like this. Likely, the international community will not let this one fly either.


The "Haitian Joudalist" has learned that an international coalition has announced plans to examine the legality of such an action by the government of the Dominican Republic vis a vis its citizens of Haitian descent. Several key people, including members of the U. S. government are expected to meet soon on the issue of denationalization of these citizens, and will likely demand that the the citizenship of the Dominicans who are of Haitian descent be reinstated.
