The president of the Dominican Republic has announced plans to build a fence along its border with Haiti, which extends for about 380km (236 miles).
Luis Abinader said the barrier would help curb illegal immigration, drugs and the flow of stolen vehicles between the two countries, which share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.
Mr Abinader said work on the barrier would start later this year.
Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Western Hemisphere.
Relations between the two neighbours have been historically difficult.
Mr Abinader said the barrier in some "conflictive" sections would include a double-fence along with motion sensors, infrared systems and facial recognition cameras.
The Dominican Republic, which has a population of about 11 million, has already constructed some stretches of fencing along the border.

The half black Hispanics can’t take the full blacks.
Slavery ruined every beautiful tropical island.
Building walls works!
200 years of corrupt government havent helped.

So why did Trump want to build a wall to keep the no-loads, suck-ups, and terrorists out of America? I'm confused.
Barriers to protect politicians, but no barriers to protect American jobs and our standard of living?
“Slavery ruined every beautiful tropical island.”
History must be understood in the context of the law, morals and culture of the era.
But even back then I have a feeling many, many people knew slavery was wrong, yet did not dare voice public opinions of such. Not only is holding a fellow human as a slave wrong, but it does take away a paying job from a poor person. Slaves were undoubtedly held by the rich and elite of the day.
Today’s rich and elite are undoubtedly the biggest racist of all, using racism as a tool to divide the country and further their power. At the same time slavery still exists in this world. Some of our own elitists use sex slaves.
The problem has been and never will be that Whites are racist. The problem is the elites are racists, always have been, always will be.
Haiti’s highly superstitious and VooDoo practices throughout their communities will always prevent them from advancing as well. The people are as corrupt as their government.....for whatever excuse given certain cultures see corruption as all in the days work.
Has "0" to do with humanitarian purposes. It's simply shifting a problem from one area to a new area.
Look at history...How do invasions occur...and that also refers to our County.
What’s the name of that good black neighborhood in the US?
The world?
The USSR, North Korea, and the Berlin Wall would indicate a barrier could work; Israel is in a situation where they have many Palestinians within their own borders.
Fences!!!!!!dats racis
A bit late with the prison escapees.
Send AOC down there to cry at the fence.

“curb illegal immigration, drugs and the flow of stolen vehicles between the two countries”
The Democrats need to contact this fool and tell him walls are immoral.
‘What’s the name of that good black neighborhood in the US?
The world?’
Wakanda. Way ahead of you.
That will work until the next earthquake. But, have at it.
Don’t they know fences are racist?
Only fences by Whites are racist.
