SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — The Dominican Republic said Tuesday it has deported or repatriated nearly 11,000 Haitians in the past week, fulfilling a pledge to do so weekly as neighboring Haiti scrambles to handle the influx while besieged by gang violence and poverty.

The Dominican government announced last week that it would deport up to 10,000 Haitians a week, citing an “excess” of immigrants as relations between the countries that share the island of Hispaniola continue to sour. These are the largest such deportations in recent history there.

The announcement prompted Haitian officials to request an emergency meeting at the Organization of American States, where Haitian permanent representative Gandy Thomas called the deportations “a strategy of ethnic cleansing” and “a discriminatory campaign against Haitians due to their nationality and color of their skin.”

Trump will really have to pick that pace up a LOT. With all the Musk Commission fat cutting going on, Trump could reassign the thousands of otherwise unemployed DC Education Department apparatchiks to the Arizona desert as border patrol.

Headed our way!!! Hide your pets and RAT politicians. The colony of New Haiti is about to be established with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Have the Russki illegal aliens stopped invading the Ukraine yet?

Deport them back and let nature run its course. Not our or the DR’s problem.

Flooding Haiti with returning Haitians just might overwhelm the gangs. Just maybe the ones that are sent back will be mad enough to want their country to like others. Nothing else has worked so what have we got to lose. Cut off the aid that never reaches the people who need it tell them to fix it themselves.

You know Harris and Tiny Tim will be at the airport everyday until 5 November with the Welcome Wagon to greet them. “Doctor” Jill will be their handing out voter registration forms shaped like Valentines while Chelsea Clinton “jogs nearby.” Timmy will be handing out the Tampons.

“The Dominican Republic said Tuesday it has deported or repatriated nearly 11,000 Haitians in the past week”

Proving it can be done. A nice start. When Trump starts this every leftist law firm in the country will have their lawfare cases ready to be filed. I hope his advisers are prepared for the suits.

For decades I suggested that we send back Mexican illegals with a gun (confiscated pistol or any old thing) and some bullets, until Mexico decides they better stop colonizing our country.

I hope this Dominican Republic story is being covered because it lets American voters know the process can be done and is a legitimate function of government.

I think the only way we can stop this is to start deporting DR MLB players back to the DR every time they deport the Haitians to Springfield.

Let's not forget the HUGE Clinton Foundation game, raising massive sums for Haiti and then.....

Crickets. But still up on the Clinton Grifting site.....

"For many years dating back before the 2010 earthquake, President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have worked to help the people of Haiti. These efforts helped mobilize emergency relief after several hurricanes and an earthquake struck Haiti. The driving force was always to get help to where it was desperately needed as quickly as possible. President Clinton and the Clinton Foundation have also supported long-term recovery efforts, including spurring investment in the country, and helping to lift people out of poverty through a number of programs operating on the ground. Most recently, CGI Haiti Action Network members have mobilized aid and support for Haiti in the wake of Hurricane Matthew, with the Foundation directing donors to these partners providing emergency relief services.
