E-mail(Reuters) - Dominican president Luis Abinader announced on Sunday a series of border security reinforcements and migration controls towards neighboring Haiti.
The 15 new measures will include accelerating the construction of the border wall that separate the two countries and adding 1500 additional soldiers for border surveillance, president Abinader said in a press conference.
The Dominican government will also pursue legal reforms to toughen penalties for those who facilitate the entry and stay of migrants.
