Crackdowns on migrants, finishing a border wall at forefront of Dominican Republic elections
As soaring violence and political turmoil grip neighbouring Haiti, the Dominican Republic will hold elections Sunday that have been defined by calls for more crackdowns on migrants and finishing a border wall dividing the countries.
“We will continue to deport everyone who is illegal from any country,” Abinader said in a debate in late April. “A society that doesn’t do that is chaos and anarchy.” Fernandez, of the People’s Force party, said Dominicans were “afraid to go out into the streets” despite Abinader’s policies. He also said he would continue crackdowns while respecting human rights.
“No foreigner who wants to stay here in the Dominican Republic should do so illegally, and that’s what has said,” she said. Haiti, long stricken by tragedy, has been in a downward spiral since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021. Gangs have warred for power, injecting terror and turmoil into the lives of many in the Caribbean nation.
