  9.  @brunovaldeiras8685  should americans go after every undocumented with guns by that logic, if what trujillo did was right why did would he never admit to doing it? Why did he threw the bodies in rivers and oceans? Why is massacre still considered an atrocity ? Why did dominican risk there lives to hide haitians.
