Trinidad and Tobago has had problems with illegal Venezuelan immigration - just recently they had a PR disaster when their coastguard shot a Venezuelan infant dead:

Rowley: Trinidad and Tobago's demand for prostitutes fuelling illegal migration​

YESTERDAY

THE Prime Minister on Friday told the Opposition to "cease and desist" its verbal attacks on the TT Coast Guard (TTCG) for last Saturday's tragic shooting death of a one year old Venezuelan in a boat full of illegal migrants but to instead be more concerned about the fate of women being illegally trafficked into Trinidad for prostitution.

The TTCG has claimed the migrant boat had tried to ram a craft with coast guardsmen who fired in self-defence inadvertently killing Ya Elvis Santoyo and wounding his mother Darielvis Santoyo who is now recovering in hospital in Trinidad.

In the House of Representatives Naparima MP Rodney Charles asked about any diplomatic efforts to contain foreign fallout from the tragedy.

Dr Rowley said TT and Venezuela had shared details, the TTCG and Venezuelan Guardia Nacional will meet in Venezuela next week, the police and TTCG were investigating and he had spoken to Venezuelan vice president Delcy Rodriguez. Charles asked if US lobbyists were helping curb the fallout?

Rowley hit, "The hysteria around this matter, being driven by our colleagues and others...(He gesticulated towards the Opposition.). (It) is no different to what happens in the Mediterranean, to what happens in the Gulf of Mexico and the coast of Florida, between Bahamas and Haiti and Cuba and the United States.

"Why are our people trying to out a rope around the neck of the people of Trinidad and Tobago, in a matter which is purely accidental, which is minuscule as compared to what's happening worldwide?" Gesticulating angrily, he stormed, "The main fallout from this is the Leader of the Opposition accusing the Coast Guard of murder."

Charles asked if TT should have had a stated policy on the authorities' treatment of migrants?

Rowley said such guidelines exist, but then quoted a recent article on sex-trafficking in Venezuela by an independent Latin American publication named Insight Crime.

He said, "It says, with respect to the very people he (Charles) is claiming to want to defend, 'Some stay in the south while others head to the north and central region, many to the borough of Chaguanas where the demand for prostitutes thrives.'"

Unlike a decline in human-trafficking in Jamaica and Antigua and Barbuda, the PM said in TT it was growing.

He quoted the report, "Demand for sex and prostitution in TT is being driven by a high rate of local consumption, especially in the borough of Chaguanas."

The PM urged the Opposition, "If you want to fight this matter (illegal migration), let us begin by fighting this (prostitution in TT)."

Charles pressed for a stated policy.

Rowley replied, "It is precisely because we have a comprehensive policy and physical responses against the background of that policy, why we have an effective border patrol through our Coast Guard interacting with the problem for which the perils sometimes involve people being drowned, people being lost, people being hurt, and people being shot.

"So I don't know what policy he's asking for, but I'm asking for a policy to reduce your appetite for the corruption that is in this document."

Dominican Republic starts work on border wall with Haiti

Dominican Republic starts work on border wall with Haiti​

The aim is to stop the smuggling of drugs and weapons into the country, as well as halting illegal migration from Haiti.

Monday 21 February 2022 12:57, UK

Luis Abinader, president of the Dominican Republic, said the border wall with Haiti will 'benefit both nations'

The Dominican Republic has started building a wall stretching around 122 miles (196km) along its border with Haiti.

Luis Abinader, president of the Dominican Republic, said the barrier - which will cover almost half of the country's border with Haiti - will attempt to stop illegal migrants crossing the border from Haiti, as well as preventing drugs and weapons being smuggled into the country.

The first phase of the project is expected to be completed within nine months, he said.

It comes a week before the anniversary of the Dominican Republic's independence from Haiti on 27 February 1844.

The project will include the construction of 70 watchtowers and 41 access gates for patrolling.

Despite the two countries being neighbours, they are worlds apart in terms of development.

Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the Caribbean, whilst the Dominican Republic has become a popular tourist destination, with around six million visitors each year.

"The benefit for both nations will be of great importance," Mr Abinader said, adding the border wall will also help fight organised crime in the two countries.

The 20-centimetre-thick concrete structure will be topped by a metal mesh and fitted with cameras, motion sensors and radars.

During the last year, Haiti has battled with gang violence, earthquakes, and the assassination of President Jovenel Moise.

Around 500,000 Haitians and tens of thousands of their descendants live in the Dominican Republic, a Spanish-speaking nation of about 11 million people, according to the most recent immigration survey conducted in 2018.

Massive Haitian infiltration​

The participation of illegal Haitians in jobs in the country has been increasing.

There are no areas that have not been affected by this phenomenon.

From traditional, such as the sugar industry, agriculture, and construction, they have extended their presence to public transportation, street sales, domestic service, security companies, hotels, and an endless number of informal trades.

Although there is a regulation in the Labor Code (article 135) that establishes a quota of 20 percent of the jobs in formal companies for legal foreigners, this is not complied with.

And precisely, this is a challenge that President Luis Abinader promised to face when he proclaimed that jobs, primarily, should be for Dominicans.

In support of this legal predicament, the National Confederation of Transportation Organizations (CONATRA) has ordered its unions, federations, and companies not to allow illegal Haitians to be employed on their routes, much less to allow them to use them.

CONATRA is exercising an attribute that should be observed by the rest of the formal companies in the country if we genuinely want to reestablish the value that the migration law and the Labor Code itself have to regulate the entrance and permanence of foreigners on our soil.

It is a restorative measure since numerous cases have been reported of Haitian drivers or motoconchistas, primarily illegal, operating public transportation routes in rented or purchased vehicles without documents.

This massive presence of illegal Haitians is stirring up the spirits of many Dominicans and entities of society, who frequently protest against the misconduct or involvement of these immigrants in criminal acts in the face of the apparent negligence of the authorities responsible for enforcing the laws.

We cannot allow society to become fed up with this problem and then opt for drastic solutions if the authorities continue to be incapable of achieving it by the simple means of the law and the will of those in power.

It was once difficult for Haitians to cross into the Dominican Republic, until both countries decided to build a roadway of which served in connecting both:



Before Hatians deforested their landscape, in order to fuel the fires of which would bake their mud biscuits, the landscape there used to be hostile towards those who were not skilled in survival.
The Dominicans, as shown in the following images, have initially layed their roadway parallel to the border, through a rather less disturbed landscape

How Recent Voting Rights Granted To Non-Kashmiris Reinforces Modi’s Hindutva Agenda – OpE​

September 1, 2022

By Zukhruf Amin

India’s decision of allowing anyone who is living ordinarily in Jammu and Kashmir to get registered as a voter in the region, which will be in accordance with the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, has revived fears among the Muslims of yet another attempt of reinforcing Hindutva agenda in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). As announced by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Hirdesh Kumar, it is expected that the decision will add almost 2.5 million new voters to the existing 7.6 million voters in Kashmir. According to CEO, it is not mandatory for someone to hold a residence certificate from Jammu and Kashmir in order to register to vote. Hence, non-local voters will have voting rights in IIOJK now. It will alter the disputed territory’s political and demographic landscape. The move to allow non-Kashmiris to vote – has once again unveiled India’s hegemonic aspirations of consolidating a Hindu Rashtra by enforcing Hindutva agenda.

The apprehensions of a demographic change in the Muslim majority territory have been triggered under the Hindu nationalist BJP’s government. In the wake of this decision, the political and social landscape of the IIOJK is under threat from the Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It was until August 2019, when the voting rights in IIOJK were limited only to its permanent residents, promised under Article 370 and 35(A) of the Indian constitution. However, the August 5 move by India, officially marked the beginning of a new wave of suppression of Muslims in IIOJK. New domicile laws – introduced after revocation of its special status – also aimed to allow the outsiders for settling in and alter the demography of the disputed territory. In this regard, the systematic increase in the ratio of the Hindu population has been the key objective. In May 2022, the Delimitation Commission’s decision of redefining the electoral boundaries in IIOJK, by increasing the representation in the Hindu-majority Jammu region and decreasing in the Muslim-majority Kashmir, was another step towards alienating the Muslims. The local Muslims fear that rising Islamophobia in India and anti-Muslim hatred behind Modi’s Kashmir policy will rob them of their separate identity.

Many Indian lawmakers, including the opposition parties and Kashmiri politicians have renounced BJP’s decision to grant voting rights to non-locals, calling it a part of deep-rooted conspiracy to alter the demography and enforce the Hindutva agenda. Former Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti called the BJP’s decision as the last nail in the coffin of electoral democracy of Jammu and Kashmir. For the people of Kashmir, it is an assault on its identity as the Muslim majority region. Since 5th August 2019, Modi has been hell-bent on influencing the electoral systems for reinforcing Hindu nationalism. The abrogation of IIOJK’s special status, granting domiciles to Hindus, redrawing of the electoral boundaries and voting rights to non-locals are part of a larger political agenda of the Modi-led BJP government. The aim is to influence the upcoming elections in India and turn the electoral majority into a minority in the disputed territory. Voting rights to the outsiders will have dire consequences for the region.

Kashmir is not merely a territorial conflict, but a matter of human rights violations now, which are on the rise. The wave of brutality finds no end. There are increased incidences of pellet-firing guns, forced disappearances, fake encounters, murders, gang rapes and other atrocities at the hands of the Indian security forces. Hindutva driven repressive policies of targeting the Muslims in IIOJK is a constant reminder, that the situation in Kashmir has the ingredients of an unprecedented escalation. It has illustrated the reality that Modi’s policy on Kashmir is not just an electoral strategy, but an extension of extremist vision of Hindu nationalism to achieve its political goals. By institutionalizing the demographic changes, it is feared that Muslims will be disempowered from the local legislatures, which will ultimately reinforce the Hindu majoritarianism. A proactive strategy is the need of the hour to project India’s human rights violations. Pakistan needs to sensitize the international community on the human rights atrocities in Kashmir. By upholding the principles of democracy, India should ease the restrictions imposed in the Muslim majority territory. As promised in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions, the people of Kashmir should be allowed to decide their future by exercising the right of self-determination through a transparent plebiscite.

Peru's government wants to expel Venezuelan migrants​

Introduced in mid-August, a 'flawed bill with xenophobic overtones' is designed to expel foreigners who commit criminal offenses.

By Amanda Chaparro (Lima (Peru) correspondent)

Published on August 31, 2022

By amending the statutory law on immigration and reviewing the penal code, the government of Peruvian President Pedro Castillo intends to strike hard against "citizen insecurity." He blames it largely on "foreign citizens," and hopes to honor one of his campaign promises of 2021, when he had given "72 hours" to "those who come from other countries to disrespect [us]" to leave Peru.

The draft, which is extremely severe towards foreigners, extends the grounds for expulsion and increases the ban on entry to the territory from 15 to 25 years for migrants who commit offenses. Among new motives for expulsion: breaching health measures – not having up-to-date vaccinations, for example – although vaccination is not compulsory in Peru. Others include failing to present identity papers, driving a delivery vehicle without authorization or carrying a weapon. Harsher penalties are also considered for "disobedience" to authority with a minimum of three years imprisonment; or for refusing to undergo a blood test to determine the consumption of drugs or alcohol.

Presented on August 15, the bill was openly aimed at Venezuelan migrants, who number about 1.5 million in the country, far ahead of Colombians (41,000) and Bolivians (21,000). Half of them are said to be in irregular situations, according to the Peruvian immigration authorities.

'Xenophobic' text​

In a 15-page document, the government sought to link rampant insecurity to the presence of Venezuelans, which has grown considerably since 2017. The government wishes to combat crime in the country, which, according to a recent Ipsos survey, is the main concern of Peruvians, just behind the problem of corruption.

Far-right Turkish leader likens Syrian refugees to garbage, vows expulsion

September 6, 2022

A top right-wing opposition leader in Turkey has vowed to kick out all Syrian refugees by 2026, saying Turkey has become an “immigrant warehouse” and a “near garbage dump” for Europe, which doesn’t want them. Meral Aksener, the leader of the far-right Iyi or Good party, says she is ready to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria to fix the problem.

Aksener blamed the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling Justice and Development Party today as she introduced her party’s “Immigration Doctrine and Strategic Action Plan” under which an estimated 3.7 million Syrians would be repatriated and Turkey’s “demographic composition and Turkish identity” would be protected. Aksener asserted that there were at least 8 million refugees currently in Turkey, the largest refugee population in the world.

The plan outlines a series of draconian measures including “isolating” illegal migrants in “concentration camps” and forcing them to return to their countries of origin against their will under a formally declared policy of refoulement. Syrian refugees will be prevented from accessing public parks and beaches “in ways that would disrupt societal tranquility” and stripped of their current benefits.

“On Sept. 1, 2026, in the third year of our rule, we will have returned all Syrian migrants to their country,” Aksener said.

Plan A is to secure the refugees’ voluntary return, supposedly through dialogue with the Assad regime and in collaboration with the EU, which should by Aksener’s reckoning fund reconstruction of Syria’s war-shattered infrastructure. Some 80% of Syrians live in dire poverty aggravated by drought, power shortages and sanctions on the regime. If plan A fails, and few doubt it will, Aksener’s Strategic Action Plan is meant to kick in.

With only months left before watershed national elections, vows to expel Syrian refugees are rapidly becoming a top pledge as public resentment against them escalates into physical attacks. Recent opinion polls suggest that at least half of the country supports reconciliation with the Assad regime.

The formula apparently works with a newly formed party, the Victory Party, rising in the polls largely thanks to the racist rhetoric of its leader, the far-right academic Umut Ozdag, and nibbling at the Good Party’s base.

Syrians are paying the price. On Sept. 5, Fares Mohammed Al-Ali, a 17-year-old Syrian, was stabbed to death in the city of Antakya which borders Syria, by an angry mob. He had graduated from high school with top marks and was getting ready to start medical school. The assault was triggered when he brushed against the shoulder of a woman as he was walking down the street. The action was construed by her son as sexual harassment, an accusation that is frequently leveled against Syrians and other asylum seekers. In June two other Syrian youths were killed in separate attacks in Istanbul.

Metin Corabatir, the founding president of the Ankara-based Research Center on Asylum and Migration, said assaults on Syrians are “ballooning” and the government, whose open-door policy at the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011 was the “right one,” is doing little to mitigate the situation. Politicians who fan the flames of xenophobia in pursuit of votes have “blood on their hands,” Corabatir told Al-Monitor.

Syrians live in constant fear, with a growing number not sending their children to school where they face growing discrimination. “I wake up every morning feeling sick. The comments are getting harsher and harsher. Aksener has equated Syrians with garbage, it’s a new low,” said Omar Kadkoy, a Syrian analyst at The Economic Research Policy Center of Turkey, a think tank in Ankara.

“All of the political parties are on the same page about the Syrians, albeit with varying formulas for sending them home,” Kadkoy told Al-Monitor. Erdogan says they will be settled in zones in northern Syria that are currently under the Turkish military’s control. The main opposition Republican People’s Party has mooted a milder version of Askener’s proposal.

Either way, he said, such talk only legitimizes violent acts against his fellow Syrians, who feel utterly powerless as their futures are legislated for the sake of votes.

Even Erdogan has started talking about sending Syrians back to their country and of the need for dialogue with Assad, the man he once sought to violently overthrow.

Corabatir noted that the plans constitute a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law.

Under the 1951 Refugee Convention, a refugee must not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom. Syrians who return to regime-controlled areas face both in spades.

 

[Petr]

Aksener's "Iyi" party seems to rising well with such promises - at the same time, the older, Grey-Wolves type Turkish nationalist party MHP (that is allied with Erdogan and pays the price for his unpopularity) is falling at almost similar extent, probably losing their voters to Iyi:

Dominican Republic Building Over 100 Miles of Border Wall to Stop Illegal Immigration from Haiti

Dominican Republic Building Over 100 Miles of Border Wall to Stop Illegal Immigration from Haiti​

JOHN BINDER

29 Sep 2022

The Dominican Republic is building a 13-foot-high border wall — set to be the second-longest border wall in the Americas — in the hopes of ending waves of illegal immigration from Haiti.

The government of the Dominican Republic began building the border wall in February to put a halt to illegal immigration from Haiti, which citizens have said is overwhelming their small communities, depressing wages, and undercutting their quality of life.

The concrete and steel wall, when finished, will stand 13 feet tall, and stretch just over 100 miles. The only other existing border wall in the Americas that is longer is the United States-Mexico border wall.

One citizen of the Dominican Republic told Bloomberg that he is tired of Haitians overwhelming his small hometown and leaving trash along the streets:

Riverón, a burly, graying man of 50, describes his town, Dajabón, as a flash point of the immigration debate that’s raging in societies across the globe — in Poland, Hungary, Chile, the US — after the pandemic sank hundreds of millions of people deeper into poverty in developing countries. Riverón knows that his tiny town wouldn’t exist without the cross-border trade with Haiti and yet, in language that borrows from the playbook of Donald Trump and Viktor Orban, he says everything is spinning out of control now. Haitians fleeing the poorest country in the Americas — one beset by the world’s worst levels of food insecurity, an all-but failed government and land made infertile by deforestation and climate change — are, as he sees it, overwhelming local hospitals, strewing garbage on the street and depressing the wages earned by Dominicans. [Emphasis added]
“There are simply too many Haitians here,” he said on a recent afternoon. “I don’t want to use the word ‘invaded,’ but there are parts of this town that have been completely saturated.” [Emphasis added]

The Dominican Republic’s border wall with Haiti comes as a multitude of foreign countries have taken new steps to preserve their national sovereignty. In August, Greek officials announced they would lengthen their border wall with Turkey, and in 2019, France built a similar border wall to keep migrants from rushing into Britain.

Border wall projects around the world are set against the backdrop of President Joe Biden halting all construction of a border wall along the United States-Mexico border — vowing before he was elected that “there will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.”

In July, though, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began closing up particular holes in the border wall, specifically in the Yuma, Arizona region. Most of the nearly 2,000-mile-long southern border remains without any barrier at all.

Since Biden took office, roughly 2.2 million border crossers and illegal aliens have entered American communities via the southern border. About 1.35 million of those were briefly apprehended and quickly released into the U.S. interior by Biden’s DHS.

The chairman of the Otzma Yehudit Party, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, arrived on Wednesday evening at the sukkah set up by the residents of southern Tel Aviv, with a left-wing demonstration, led by the Meretz Party, taking place on the other side of the street.

"I am happy to be here. I see the great love and also hear the leftists shouting - and they are allowed to. Residents of the neighborhoods here are shouting, women are afraid to walk on the street, small children do not go to playgrounds because they are afraid of the infiltrators," Ben Gvir said.

He added, "We need to protect the residents of the neighborhoods of southern Tel Aviv and restore their security and Jewish pride. They should not be ashamed to walk around here and to be proud Jews in their own country. They will shout, but we have come to implement. There will not be a situation here where infiltrators will terrorize children, old people and women. It won't happen on our watch."

"Under our watch, we will take care of security and give the police the right instructions to act with zero tolerance towards attempts to harm Jews. We are not giving up southern Tel Aviv, this is our country and this is our home. We are telling you, dear leftists, you will shout and we will make sure that you continue to shout from the opposition. Am Yisrael Chai," concluded Ben Gvir.

South TLV was always poor, as far as I can remember, but you will not believe how stupid leftist politicians wanted Israel to grant unlimited asylum to Sudanese and Eritraean Muslims. It was primarily the far left that wanted this. Netanyahu built a wall on the Egyptian border over their objection, and the problem of illegal immigration from Africa thus ended. But there was still the issue of deporting the people who infiltrated, and the left thwarted deals to fly them to African countries willing to take them. The idea of unrestricted immigration to Israel is even crazier for Israel than the USA because Israel is a traditional nation state, not a country founded on an idea like the "pursuit of happiness." Although yes, the USA always had a dominant culture, and this is fading. It was by de facto not de jure, but it still was a cohesive culture, and so Americans could understand what nationhood is about. A shared language, religion, etc. This is one of the reasons why I worry about the future of Israel's relationship with the USA. Israel is a nation state, and increasingly few Americans understand what that even means.

Nov 16 (Reuters) - The Dominican Republic is stepping up deportations of Haitians and is creating a police unit focused on foreigners, fueling tensions between the two Caribbean nations whose relations have for decades been marred by migration disputes.

Dominican President Luis Abinader last week issued a decree calling for stepped up migration protocols enforcement and the creation of a police unit to investigate foreigners living in "illegal land occupations."

Critics in Haiti have noted those plans run counter to a United Nations call for countries not to return citizens to Haiti due to chronic gang violence.

"Prime Minister Ariel Henry is very concerned about the mass deportations that are taking place in the Dominican Republic," said Jean-Junior Joseph, a spokesperson for the prime minister's office, in a statement on Wednesday. "We hope that the rights of our citizens are respected."

The Dominican Republic's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on Nov. 10 called on the Dominican Republic to halt deportations of Haitians, citing violence and systematic human rights violations in their home country.

Abinader in comments broadcast by Dominican media described Turk's comments as "unacceptable and irresponsible," saying that the Dominican Republic did not have resources to help more Haitians and adding that authorities would boost deportations.

It was not immediately evident how many Haitians have been deported since the decree took effect.

Jean Bonheur Delva, head of the National Migration Office, told local media on Tuesday the figure was around 50,000 in the last three months.

That period coincided with a humanitarian crisis caused by a six-week gang blockade of a fuel terminal, causing shortages of gasoline and diesel that crippled most economic activity.

Ulrika Richardson, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the U.N. system in Haiti, told reporters on Wednesday that U.N. officials have been working "to promote information sharing and dialogue between the two countries."

Dajabón mayor again denounces Haitian migration mafia​

Dolores Vicioso

Jan 16, 2023 at 8:02 AM

The mayor of Dajabón continues to denounce military are taking bribes to allow the entry of undocumented Haitians. Mayor Santiago Riverón said that despite the apparent tightening of controls in the circulation of undocumented Haitians, the mafia that allows their entry for a price has not been eradicated.

Riverón again calls for the government to increase the number of personnel working in the Migration Agency in the province and more support to its work logistics. “Migration works with bare hands, apart from the fact that the personnel that the institution has is not enough”, affirmed the mayor of one of the border towns of the Dominican Republic where there is more traffic of Haitians.

Riveron said the Migration inspectors in Dajabon are responsible for other border cities in Santiago Rodriguez, Montecristi and Valverde, which in his opinion hinders their performance.

Riveron denounced that there are military officers at the border points who are engaged in receiving bribes to allow the entry of illegal foreigners to Dominican soil. He did not mention which uniformed officers are involved in this practice nor the places where it is being carried out, but he assured that it is a reality.
