00:00Regarding the irregular migration in the country, one of them has to do with the workers in an irregular condition, mostly Haitians.
00:09As a representative of this sector, how do you see this measure announced by the President?
00:16The measures taken by the President yesterday are healthy measures for the country and for the workers.
00:24We greet these measures and we only hope that they are fulfilled.
00:30Because the problem is that many times interesting things are done, such as those proposed in the 15 positions of the President,
00:39but in the fulfillment we are concerned. They are not fulfilled to the extent that the President wants.
00:45That is why we greet the President, we support this measure and we are in a position to support it
00:52because we understand that it is very important for the country.
00:55Nationality is above all of us.
00:58We Dominicans have to strengthen and unite to be able to defend our own Dominican identity.
01:05Because if we do not do so, we are divided, the opposite intervenes and happens.
01:13We want these measures to be positive and we support them.
01:17Do you understand that the number of illegal immigrants has increased a lot working here in the country?
01:23Yes, it is a big problem.
01:24It affects us.
01:25It is a big problem that we have, the number of illegal immigrants.
01:28Because we are not against normal, legal, controlled immigration.
01:34The immigration that the country needs, we have to have it.
01:38Because in all parts of the world, immigration is something very natural.
01:42But all countries have the immigrants they need.
01:45Because right now we have an emigration, I think we have an invasion.
01:51Undoubtedly, in that sense, we consider that it is necessary to control the illegal immigrants.
01:59And those measures that the President has taken are positive.
02:02So far, I consider that they are very good measures and we hope that they are fulfilled.
02:07Do you understand an average percentage of illegal Haitians who are occupying Dominican squares?
02:14It is not known exactly.
02:15An average.
02:16We know, we have no idea.
02:17But yes, in construction, the vast majority are Haitians.
02:21In the countryside, a very important percentage, in agricultural work, are also Haitian brothers.
02:27And the majority are illegal.
02:30And that is a big problem.
02:32Because undoubtedly, when hotels are built, those who invest in them are not guilty of being Haitian workers.
02:39It is an illegal immigrant problem.
02:41It is a problem of the state.
02:43It is a problem of the government.
02:45They have to act to normalize a situation that has been going on for more than 40 years.
02:51Because this situation is not new.
02:52But it is said that they are the same businessmen who bring them.
02:55No, I don't think they are the same businessmen who bring them.
02:57The owners of farms and things like that.
03:00No, no, no, I don't think they are the same businessmen who bring Haitians here.
03:03There is a mafia in that sense that brings them for money.
03:07And there is also another mafia that is not acting at the border.
03:11Because if at the border they act correctly, if at the border they don't let illegal immigrants pass, we wouldn't be here.
03:19So what happens?
03:20They let them pass.
03:21There is a mafia.
03:22There is a group that is dedicated, people who are dedicated to bringing immigrants, to sell them.
03:27But the businessmen are not responsible for bringing those Haitians here.
03:32Thank you very much.
