Abstract

Nobody knows with any degree of accuracy how many Haitians there are at any given time in the Dominican Republic. Estimates range between a few hundred thousand and two million. Presumably, the truth is closer to the former than to the latter, but we do not know.1 No exhaustive survey has ever been undertaken and it is not even clear who should count as ‘Haitian’. Thousands have lived in the Dominican Republic for many years without any kind of identity documents. Many ‘Haitians’ were born on the Dominican side of the border and have never visited their ‘home country’.
