Abstract
AbstractApproximately 90 percent of the half million Haitians who work and live in the Dominican Republic do not have any legal status. This article proposes to evaluate the conditions for the application of a neo-liberal policy to regulate the problem presented by the presence of Haitians in the Dominican Republic. This policy proposes the repatriation of all Haitians not born in the country. After a brief description of the characteristics of a rent-seeking society, the neo-liberal thesis will be explained, then criticized. In order to more deeply explore the limits of this thesis, it will be considered along with the thesis of the “formalization” of economic relations, formulated by those favoring the explicit elaboration of a migratory policy. This will allow the author to suggest, at the end of the article, the definition of stages in view of the legalization of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic.
