Last week, I wrote that the Dominican Republic has summarily stripped over a hundred thousand Dominicans born in the DR of Haitian parents of<wm> Haitian descent from U.S. passport. These U.S. passports were delivered to the DR in January 2011.

Over a five-year-old period, the DR made decisions in approximately one-third of the cases it received Haitian births to American citizens. Over this entire time period, the DR has denied over five thousand Haitian-born individuals the use of their U.S. passports. "Haiti does not belong in these passports because of racial and ethnicity."  It's also of note</wm> that over five thousand Haitian men and one thousand Haitian women were denied their right to travel internationally
