THE Dominican Republic is to start massive deportations of Haitians who are alleged to be living in the country illegally.
Authorities say their massive clampdown will lead to the explusion of about 10,000 Haitians a week.
The government took the decision after noticing an “excess” of Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, spokesman Homero Figueroa told reporters on Wednesday.
