The U.S. Coast Guard seized 201 Haitians on broken-down boats near the Bahamas on March 14 and deported them to Haiti the next day.
The Dominican Republic’s army deported 2,793 Haitians between March 9 and 16. The Defense Minister said they were undocumented immigrants and the operation was part of border security. Several Haitians had been killed or injured in revenge attacks by Dominican citizens in the border province of Pedernales where a Dominican couple was killed earlier. Paramilitary groups were calling for more retaliation against Haitian immigrants.
The capitalist system shows no mercy for the poor, neither in the Americas nor in Europe and the Mediterranean.
