The Dominican Republic says it plans to deport up to 10,000 undocumented migrants a week to combat uncontrolled migration.
The plan was announced by President Luis Abinader’s spokesman, Homero Figueroa, who blamed the international community’s slow response to months of gang violence in neighbouring Haiti and its failure to restore stability.
Tens of thousands of Haitians have fled across the border into the Dominican Republic.
Jesus christ I didn’t think there were 10,000 people living in DR. It’s not that much area.
10,760,028 as of 2022. Between Portugal and Czechia, or about the size of North Carolina.

Yeah but like half the size of NC isn’t it?
Less than half the size. NJ is around half the size of the DR by area with two million fewer people
Density high in cities, low in mountains and farmland. Still takes many hours to cross from north to south.
