Private Story
Stateless: Born foreigners
Dominican law classifies them as descendents from "people in transit", and never recognized those children as Dominican "ius soli" (just because they are born in the Dominican Republic). Haitian law does not recognize them as nationals neither. Plus, those people have never been to Haiti, and know no one there.
This people claim they are Dominicans because they were born in Dominican soil, but in the meanwhile, they see a future with no other light or opportunity than the batey and the plantations. Without any legal document, this people is dispossesed of any of the advantages of a citizenship, and is condemned to a life in deep poverty.
