  1. I'm lived in the RD since 2010 so I wanted to clarify some points the RD has gone out of it's way to help Haitians who come to the DR to easily obtain a government ID (cédula) so they can live & work in RD. 75% of births in public hospitals are hatian. The wall is primarily due to the fact that on the RD side of the the island is a protected forest which Haitians frequently invade to cut down trees. The RD won't send troops to Haiti to help restore order because #1 Haiti previously ruled the RD as you covered but additionally Trujillo attempted to exterminate all Haitians (not sure why you excluded this from your video). #3 there's no interest in the RD to help Haiti so any president who tries would be committing political suicide.

  2.  @WHiT3_SHAD0W  República Dominicana is the proper name of the county. Kind of like how Americans say Germany but Germans call their country Deutschland or Greeks call their country Hellas or Hellenic Republic. Things have proper names, we should use them.

  3.  @saltiney8578  I didn't make a mistake so deal with it. The proper name of the county is Republica Dominicana which is abbreviated RD. Kind of like how the Greeks call their country Hellas or Hellenic Republic and Germans call their country Deutschland.

  4.  @dennykeaton9701  it's not & a lot of people complain about it. My point was this country was already going out of it's way to help Haitians

  6.  @Tank175  they were classified as migrants, given a cédula and permitted to stay and work. Ie the "refugees" were integrated into society as opposed to the refugee camps you see in most countries. & yeah there are ant-hatian protests, it's to be expected when the majority of the of tax money goes to supporting Haitians over dominicans. Not to mention the recent Haitian bullshit with them damming the river that drifts temporarily into Haiti. What the domican military should do is just divert the river so it doesn't flow into Haiti since Haiti insists on building the illegal dam.
