Recall that at the end of the National Plan for the Regularization of Foreigners (PNRE) of 18 months in June 2015, José Ramón Fadul, the Minister of the Interior and Police (MIP) of the time had declared that 239,956 foreigners registered in the plan (± 98% of Haitians and 2% of foreigners of various nationalities) had "qualified" or should be able to complete the necessary documentation. However, it should be noted that beyond demagogy, only a small number of Haitians were holders of a passport (one of the documents required to be qualified in this plan) but, to make number and present the PNRE as a success, the Dominican Government had agreed to register most Haitians with incomplete documents, photocopies instead of originals and receipts for Haitian official documents, such as those urgently issued by the Embassy of Haiti in Santo-Domingo https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-14247-icihaiti-politic-end-of-emergency-identification-program-in-dr.html

Whereas the PNRE, after 2 prolongations, ends definitively on August 26, 2018 and that our compatriots wait for several months and for some, years, the documents promised by the Haitian States and often already paid https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14523-haiti-social-angry-cane-cutters-asking-4-6-million-gourdes-to-haiti.html it is estimated that barely 13% of registered Haitians have received their passport, their identity card and their birth certificate, essential documents for their qualification and regularization in the PNRE.

Remember that the promises of the Haitian Government have continued to multiply without being respected. In 2016 Pierrot Delienne, the Foreign Minister of the time promised the delivery of 140,000 passports to the Haitian diaspora in DR before the end of 2016 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-18265-haiti-politic-the-chancellor-promised-passports-to-haitians-in-the-dr.html , Haiti's Ambassador to Santo Domingo under the Martelly Government was suspended for publicly defending our compatriots against the Haitian Government https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14613-haiti-diplomacy-daniel-supplice-does-not-fear-to-tell-the-truth.html . Subsequently, the promises of the Transitional Government followed by those of the Government of Jovenel Moïse who has constantly extolled the issuance of passports in 8 days... have never been followed by concrete effects, leaving our compatriots delivered to they alone under the threat of deportation in the long term, delivered to the hands of mafia networks who sell them at high prices fake documents that do not even pass the controls https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24380-haiti-flash-rush-on-false-papers-in-dr.html

If the deadline of August 26, 2018 of the PNRE is respected, which is highly likely, it is nearly 200,000 Haitians who risk the expulsion of the Dominican Republic for not having been able to obtain their documents from the Haitian administration, essential documents for their migratory regularization in the Dominican Republic via the PNRE.
