Some media outlets didn't realize that yesterday, March 30, a part of the Dominican people made themselves heard in Friusa. Politicians and communicators didn't know that, yesterday, thousands of patriots marched to demand compliance with immigration laws throughout the country.
Not a tweet on X, nor a post on Instagram, nor a publication on Facebook, nor a video on TikTok. They were surely at the beach or the pool, perhaps in some tourist destination in Puerto Plata, far from Punta Cana. Or maybe, on some remote farm located in a mountain. The truth is that they did not find out either beforehand or during the march.
Now, they did have knowledge of the incident with tear gas bombs, where they quickly came out to blame the marchers and to clean up the image of those who truly threw the devices.
That's when they filled their social media, their web pages, and their voices in the videos to falsely attack the march and avoid discussing the underlying issue: the illegal trafficking of Haitian migrants by businessmen and landowners who eagerly seek slave labor.
The good thing is that the people know them and fewer and fewer people fall for their game of manipulation. Reality cannot be hidden with biased headlines or with the complicit silence of those who prefer to look the other way. The fight for the enforcement of immigration laws continues, although some try to make it invisible.
