Mayor de Blasio was booed at Sunday’s Dominican Day Parade by people angry he slammed the country’s government for wanting to expel ethnic Haitians.

De Blasio hosted a press conference in June to condemn the looming deportations of thousands of people of Haitian descent from the Dominican Republic.

Yes, for the most part the Dominican Republic has a common color with their Haitian neighbors. But they have no problem controlling their border with the only turd world garbage can with whom they share a border and De Blasio doesn't like it.
