6. Imaginary border controls
Diario Libre reported yesterday on what it describes as the "imaginary"
migration controls exercised by the Dominican military along the border with
the
DR and Haiti. The newspaper points out that the illegal trafficking in goods,
firearms and drugs is normal at the border and money talks. Smuggling of
Haitians, drugs, wood and coal is prevalent at the Jimani border point, while
rice contraband crosses primarily through the Pedernales point. Elias Pina is
known for its firearms contraband. Dajabon, nevertheless, is the main border
contraband point, open to all sorts of contrand.
