El senador por el Distrito Nacional, Omar Fernández, afirmó en Estados Unidos (EE.UU.) que debe hacerse un esfuerzo por mecanizar los sectores agrícola y de construcción para reducir al mínimo la dependencia de mano de obra extranjera, mayoritariamente haitiana.
Asimismo, insistió en la necesidad de aumentar los salarios en los citados sectores para generar interés en los dominicanos, durante un panel en el marco del Foro Panamericano de la Libertad 2025, esta semana.

00:00And let me say this very clear, we always have to think about Dominicans first.
00:06We have to think, and the government has to play an important role,
00:09on helping on the mechanization of the process, innovation, sophistication, and efficiency
00:17in order to not be needing as much man labor from Haiti as we do right now.
00:24Also, we have to take care of our Dominican people on good salaries.
00:28We have to make these kind of jobs more attractive for Dominican people.
00:33They have to be paid well, with dignity, so we can protect first our local labor.
00:39Then we have to enforce the law on the 80-20.
00:42I don't know if you know what the 80-20 is, but the bill says, our current legislation says,
00:46that you cannot do more than 20% of foreign labor on a company.
00:51So it's 80% Dominican to protect, obviously, our people,
00:53and 20% labor from another country, foreign.
00:58It doesn't matter the country.
00:59Obviously, it's Haitian in our particular case.
01:04And so on that, never more than 20%.
01:08We obviously have to protect our 80%, and we have to look forward in order to be more than 80% all the time.
01:14You know, so, and after we take care of all of that, then we can see what we will do with our neighbors on the other side of the island.
01:23So I wanted to state that very clear, because I think that the Dominicans always come first.
01:28Anyone that is in a regular status, irregular status in the Dominican Republic,
01:31has to go back to their country, and we have to enforce the law like we should always in the Dominican Republic.
01:37We have to go back to our country.
