00:00We want to go to our country, but of course, I was born in the Dominican Republic, but I am Haitian, I am leaving.

00:13If they don't let us go, we are not going.

00:16I have hidden in my house, looking at the landscape.

00:24They want to enter Matamorquiti, but they can't.

00:26You are here, inside. Who can touch you? You are in your country.

00:30You are in your country. You didn't have to put barriers, you had to enter.

00:34We don't eat people.

00:36Look, that's my granddaughter and she's Dominican.

00:39That's my grandson and he's Dominican.

00:41Here lives the Dominican house.

00:43That's the Dominican house, that's the Dominican house.

00:46We are not like people, as they think and as they say.

00:50This is worse than the La Rio hotel.

00:52An Indian girl was lost, and they still haven't been able to find her.

00:58And yet they keep harassing these poor Haitians who are working.

01:03What's your name?

01:04My name is Tierra Mar.

01:07Good afternoon, sir.

01:08I like that you are here today, like today.

01:10Listen, what's going on?

01:11Here, they told them, they said, the property of a Dominican city.

01:1690% of what they are doing here are the Dominicans.

01:20They themselves come to break the door, throwing stones.

01:23That's a stain.

01:24That's a stain.

01:25The stains come pacific to defend their own flag.

01:29The flag of the Dominican Republic.

01:31Excellent, I liked what they were doing yesterday.

01:33I liked it a lot.

01:34Do you think it's fair for a person to put a glass window in their house?

01:38They went to break the window with stones.

01:40The Dominicans started yesterday?

01:42Yesterday, yesterday.

01:43And they themselves went in there throwing stones.

01:47Is it a right?

01:48It's not good.

01:49I like what they did yesterday.

01:51For what reason?

01:52They are claiming their right.

01:54The Dominican Republic, their country.

01:56What's going on?

01:58To all the bad guys, the Haitians.

02:0190% of the idiots say that the Haitians.

02:04And it's a lie.

02:05Who are we killing here?

02:07The police.

02:08Enter here in Bavaro.

02:09Who are we killing here?

02:10Day, night, 2, 3, 4, 5 in the morning.

02:13I am a worker.

02:14I am a construction teacher.

02:16I have been living here for 29 years in the Dominican Republic.

02:20I can't walk sometimes.

02:21I have my passport and I can't walk.

02:23For what reason?

02:24I don't have a visa.

02:25How am I going to work?

02:27Illegally.

02:28In construction.

02:29I don't have the right to work.

02:30If I have a passport and I don't have a visa, how am I going to work?

02:33Do you have a work permit?

02:34I don't even have a permit.

02:36I don't have a permit.

02:37And what do they ask you to solve this situation?

02:39In the situation that I want them to solve,

02:42to see if the Haitians who are working here in the Dominican Republic,

02:4690% of Haitians who have passports and can't work,

02:49give us a permit.

02:51That we work illegally.

02:53That we work illegally.

02:54If we can't get a paper,

02:56if we can't get a paper,

02:57how are we going to work?

02:59There is a dead Haitian there,

03:02there in Matamorquitos.

03:04If you want, I'll go with you.

03:06They don't want to take him out because they are afraid.

03:09He died from the heart.

03:12They are afraid that the Dominicans will kill him

03:15because there are too many guards.

03:17There is a dead Haitian there.

03:19And no one wants to face him because they are afraid of the Haitians.

03:23So what happens?

03:25When something happens here in Matamorquitos,

03:30in the Monteverde sector,

03:31they are the Haitians.

03:33Yesterday there was an ice patch.

03:34The ice patch was excellent.

03:35Who did this?

03:36The police.

03:39The military,

03:40the Dominicans throwing stones at us Haitians.

03:44And we are very calm, happy.

03:46The police come here whenever they want.

03:48At 12 at night the police are here.

03:50At 1 in the morning they are here with us.

03:51Is the Haitian coming here?

03:52Normal.

03:53They come to do their normal job.

03:55They don't come to work, they come to rob.

03:57They come to break into other people's houses to get what is inside.

04:00That's bad.

04:01That's not right.

04:02My name is Papo. Papo what? Papo Figueroa. Thank you, Papo.

04:07Let's talk now with another person who lives in Matamorquitos, a Dominican.

04:12Dominicans who want to talk to these media.

04:16They say it was an abuse. How do you see it?

04:19Well, they came in here yesterday, but it was a total abuse that they did.

04:22They didn't come in to do a decent march as they wanted, as they expected.

04:26They grabbed what they had and were about to enter the house and steal what they had.

04:30They say there are no Dominicans here, but there are a lot of Dominicans here.

04:33A lot of them have a lot of houses.

04:35Look, yesterday I have a house over there and they broke it to pieces.

04:38They were throwing stones like that.

04:40So that can't be done. If they are going to do a march, they have to do it decently, as it should be.

04:45The police had to take it out of here, from the middle of the neighborhood.

04:49So they came to access it?

04:51Of course, they came to access it, to throw stones.

04:53Everywhere they were throwing stones.

04:55Look, all those movies out there, so damaged, they threw it out last night.

04:57With a group of criminals throwing stones.

04:59It can't be like that.

05:01What they say is that there is a lot of violence, that the police don't come in, is that true?

05:05No, here the Haitians don't abuse anyone.

05:07They go to fight, they fight themselves for some bad business they do.

05:10But the Haitians live well here.

05:12There are no problems with them here.

05:14The police come in every day.

05:16The police come in here at any time.

05:18Here at 9-11, every now and then, people are looking for people and they come directly.

05:22The police don't hurt them here.

05:24With this type of march, can the problem of irregular migration be solved?

05:27It can be solved, but not like this, with the violence that is going on.

05:31Because the thing is, how can I tell you?

05:33If the government wants the person to have his document, he has to put his power.

05:37Because, how can I tell you?

05:39We are not the ones who bring the black people.

05:41Who are the ones who bring them?

05:43Migration, they say they catch it, and they catch it in a little while.

05:46Like two days later, they are here again.

05:48It's not our fault.

05:50For them, it was coming to tear down the houses here.

05:52They say that Haitians live here.

05:54How Haitians? Thousands of Dominicans live here.

05:57Pablo, Pablo Kelly Alcántara.

05:59Thank you, Pablo.

06:01We are going to talk to a lady here.

06:03Look, look, I have a house without a tenant.

06:08The Dominicans want to tear down the house.

06:11Abuse one, if you can't abuse one like that.

06:13Because now in Haiti, everyone knows, neither Dominicans nor Haitians,

06:17not even the whole country knows that there is no visa.

06:19If I have a passport and I don't have a visa, do I want to go?

06:22I have five children here.

06:25Two boys, two girls, and one girl.

06:31I am a nation here, I have no papers, I have no passports.

06:34But I am a man, I was the one who declared it.

06:36As a Dominican, I am going to talk to the boys.

06:38How are we going to do it?

06:40Thank God, the migrants never came with me.

06:44But the others, the Haitians work hard.

06:47They work, and the Haitians don't do it.

06:49The Dominicans can't do it.

06:51Everyone works badly, and the Haitians don't want to do it.

06:54If I have a business there, the Haitians leave.

06:57Neither Dominicans nor Haitians.

06:59They don't want to sell.

07:01Everyone wants to make a living.

07:03You don't agree with that kind of march?

07:05Haiti is bad, Haiti is bad.

07:07My country is not true.

07:08No one can leave the country.

07:10I came to make a living here.

07:12I want to be calm, to make a living.

07:15I have many children, 36 here, I was born here.

07:18I am an old man here.

07:20I can't go to Haiti, I have my country, I can't go.

07:22Because it's bad.

07:24You can't go back to your country?

07:26Well, I don't know.

07:28No, I can't say that.

07:30I can't say that.

07:32Tell me your name.

07:33Maria Gringa Batista.
