thedarkestlove:salon:The Dominican Republic is preparing to deport 200,000 residents of Haitian decent, including some born in the Dominican Republic. The unprecedented mass deportation ranks as one of the greatest current human rights violations currently underway in the Western Hemisphere. Although the Dominican Republic had long recognized individuals born in-country as citizens, a 2013 ruling from the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court retroactively denied Dominican nationality to anyone born after 1929 who does not have at least one parent of Dominican blood, even those with a Dominican Republic birth certificate or whose families had resided in the Dominican Republic for generations. As the Dominican Republic prepares to deport 200,000 people, few Westerners are aware of the outrageWooooooooooooow. -- source link
