Research Question: Why are Haitians migrating to the Dominican Republic? What conditions have led Haitians to leave their country? What do they hope to find in the Dr? How is the Dominican Republic responding to the influx of Haitians? How does this fit into global politics?

Watch human rights. “Haitians Being Returned to a Country in Chaos.” Human Rights Watch, 24 Mar. 2022, https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/03/24/haitians-being-returned-country-chaos.

In Haiti, gangs are terrorizing civilians and kidnapping them to see if they will get money from them. These gangs have gained the eye of the human rights watch, which caused the information that Haitians who have left Haiti have a higher percentage of surviving outside of Haiti than inside due to “alarming levels of killings and kidnappings” (Haitians Being Returned to a Country in Chaos) to be spread worldwide. Therefore, human rights play a significant role in supporting and defending Haiti and explaining why they should not expel Haitians from their countries to world leaders and countries. Furthermore, human rights explain how these people who migrated from their homelands have nothing to return to.

“Returns to Haiti are life-threatening now and will continue to be so until security conditions in Haiti improve, Human Rights Watch said. Haiti is experiencing a dire security situation, including losing government control over strategic areas to the hands of dangerous armed gangs, widely believed to be financed by politicians and to have police officers on their payroll. In addition, violence has worsened an already severe humanitarian crisis.” This quote shows the dangers of Haitians returning to their homelands and a big push for human rights and demonstrates why going back is not an option.

Dominicantoday, Dominican. “Abinader Insists Haiti Crisis Threatens National Security.” DominicanToday, 16 Sept. 2022, https://dominicantoday.com/dr/local/2022/09/16/abinader-insists-haiti-crisis-threatens-national-security/.

“For the Dominican Republic, it is a matter of national security. I want to repeat it so that it is engraved in the memory of this solemn session in the Hall of the Americas: the crisis that overflows the borders of Haiti is a threat to the national security of the Dominican Republic”, said the President to emphasize his message.” The Dominican President, in short terms, is saying that he already has enough economic and social problems that need to be handled in the country, and having to maintain and give resources to 100 of thousands of Haitians will take a toll on the country.

Al Jazeera, AL JAZEERA. “Dominican Republic Begins Building Border Wall with Haiti.” Migration News | Al Jazeera, Al Jazeera, 21 Feb. 2022, https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/21/dominican-republic-begins-building-border-wall-with-haiti.

Dominicans and Haitians are two countries well known due to their sharing of an island. The Dominican Republic has always been known for its unique and striving tourism, its primary income source. On the other side, Haiti has become the poorest country in the world due to the many natural disasters destroying everything. Politicians do not have an actual purpose of trying to change Haiti but instead use their power for wrongdoing, such as participating in criminal acts, supporting the oppressors, and accepting bribery. Also, the billions of dollars that Haiti owes to many countries prevent them from progressing. For Haitians living in those conditions, actions need to be taken. That action is to migrate to where there is more opportunity, to where there is not a group of gangs terrorizing, to where there is food and clean water, to be in an area where they feel safe, and that is to the other side.

“Amid a rise in gang violence and political deadlock over the holding of elections, many Haitians have been crossing the border into the Dominican Republic without documentation in search of work in agriculture or the construction industry.” This quote by Aljazeera explains why so much Haitian migration is happening into the Dominican Republic and responds to 3 research questions.

The Dominican Republic is dealing with many problems that it already has, such as gas prices, inflation causing prices of many products to go up, and the internal debt to the international banks and countries that must be paid. In addition, Haitians migrating in packs of thousands is a significant problem that will cost many Dominican resources and money. Therefore, the current president of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, created a project similar to former president Donald Trump: a long and tall enough wall that prevents Haitians from entering whenever they desire to enter the country. The article by Aljazeera Dominican Republic begins building border wall with Haiti and explains the importance of the wall/border. The author also puts the Dominican president’s purpose in creating this wall: “The Dominican president said the wall will reduce irregular migration and the smuggling of goods and weapons.'(Aljazeera). This quote explains why the Dominican president has started creating a wall through all the borders covering Haiti and Dr and why this border needs to be created for president Luis Abinader to maintain peace in the Dominican Republic.

Homework

Question: Why are Haitians migrating to the Dominican Republic? What conditions have led Haitians to leave their country? What new opportunity do Hatiains hope to find in the Dr? How is the Dominican Republic responding to the influx of Haitians? How does this fit into global politics?

Why are you interested in this question? This question is interesting because I’m Dominican, and Haiti is my neighbor on the other side of the island, which we Dominicans and Haitians share. My question involves a topic I’ve always been excited to learn more about and get into real depth. Another reason why I’m interested in this topic is that I want to know if Haiti is ever going be a drastic change in Haiti if there is ever going to be rightful law and order, and when is the criminal justice system ever going to be by the books and with reasonable leaders who want change for Haiti. When are Haitian leaders going to focus on trying to help Haitian society instead of blaming most of their problems on the Dominicans, and when are Haitian leader dropping their fear of the bandits who are terrorizing Haitian women, men, and kids and taking away their right to water, food, and health.

What do you expect to find in your research? I expect to see the main problems that are going on in Haiti and what are the main mistake Haitian leaders are making. Also, I hope to know why these gang leaders/terrorists have more money and influence than most politicians.

What will you do if you find information that goes entirely against what you had expected? I would try to connect the information that I already have because this isn’t a right or wrong type of question; it’s a question infused with my ideas and ideas of different information sites that talk about the same topic, just with different point of views.
