Save Thousand of Dominic-Haitians from Exile Salvar a Miles de Dominico-Haitianos del Exilio

Created by A.B. on July 28, 2015

People of Haitian descent who were born in the Dominican Republic have been stripped of their rights and their citizenship, and are living in a state of legal limbo. These people are not all recent immigrants, as the Dominican government would have you believe, but come from families that have been living in the Dominican Republic for up to a century. Without any recognized citizenship, these people would be without a home, have no guaranteed civil rights, no right to due process in any court in the world. The United States must do all it can to ensure that the Dominican government immediately restores citizenship for all Dominican-born individuals who have been denied their nationality and upholds international human rights for Haitian immigrants, including not splitting up their families
