Title: Common Ways of Illegal Immigration among Dominican Republic and United States

There is a constant fight with the Illegal Immigration among Dominican Republic and

United States in which usually people are taking the three following ways of illegal immigration.

The first way is with the Boat Trips. People have been using these boat trips throughout history of

this social problem, and this affects a lot of people and families. When people are performing this

trip, they are risking everything including their own lives. According to the Dominican newspaper

El Listin Diario (Daily List) in 2015 The Dominican Navy reported 650 Dominicans arrested by

this cause.

This trip starts in Miches, La Altagracia, Dominican Republic with its destination to Puerto

Rico which is an island that belongs to United States of America, taking up to 40-50 people per

trip. A trip like this one must be made by a super expert in navigation because these trips requires

to cross The Mona Passage which connects the Atlantic Ocean from the North and the Caribbean

Sea from the South and like if it is nothing this passage is also called the “Passage of the winds”

because it contains the Trade Winds where you got winds coming from the four Cardinals Points

transferring its effects to the water creating waves of up to 12 feet during the whole year. Therefore,

that is why this way of illegal immigration will be the worst because a lot of people lose their lives

trying to perform a trip in which the boat is facing the risk of flipping over in the middle of nowhere

making everybody fail.

The second way is coming in to United States with a Tourist Visa. This way begins as a

legal mean of traveling to United States. An individual put together all the requirements to go to

the American Embassy in Dominican Republic and request a Tourist Visa which is a visa that

allows you to go to United States as a visitor with a limit time of 6 month. But a huge number of

people choose this method to come into the country and stay violating the time limit given on their

Visa, becoming like this a person with an illegal status to United States. This way may not make

a person look as an illegal immigrant because she is leaving Dominican Republic with a legal

status. However, once a person is in the United States and she violate the rules of the time limit

automatically she passes to be one more of the thousands and thousands of people with an illegal

status. Thus, nowadays this way of traveling to United States is being a way that people got of

leaving Dominican Republic in a legal way but having the intentions of staying in the United States

as Illegal immigrant. The American Embassy throughout time has been making rigorous changes

to the laws regarding this Visa to be more accurate in determine who is eligible to obtain this type

of visa and like that reduce the number of people who arrive to United States that later become in

illegal immigrants.

A third a way is Faking the Fingerprints. This way of Illegal Immigration it is not only

Illegal but also criminal. Faking the fingerprints is a way of illegal immigration commonly used

by people with criminal antecedents like fugitive delinquents and narcotrafficants and by people

that in one way or the other need to hide from the authorities. According with the Dominican

Authorities lately people with criminal antecedents like Narcos and Delinquents are faking their

fingerprints in order to obtain another passport so they can change their biometric identities. The

mechanism used to change the fingerprints is through a surgery in which they remove the

fingerprints and replace them with skin taken from the soles of your feet.

According to the journalist Ariela Mejia from the Dominican newspaper El Listin Diario

(Diary List) in 2011 a Dominican doctor was sentenced to prison because of his offers of

fingerprints alteration. Other people who fake their fingerprints are people that have been before

deported from United States to Dominican Republic and they choose to take this method in which

they find a way back to United States using a fake identity after changing their finger prints. Faking

your fingerprints is a long task because by doing this also mean that you need a new name for your

new passport. In the end it is not recommended to use this way of Illegal Immigration because it

represents a major violation to United States and to Dominican Republic, if you get caught in any

of these two country you are going to be facing a lot of criminal charges that can be the result in a

long jail time.

The ways of immigration from Dominican Republic to United States in a Boat Trip or with

a Tourist Visa are not recommendable to be used in any case because in the same manner of using

the way of faking your fingerprints to come into United States you can get caught, and then you

will get jail time to later be deported losing like this the opportunity of coming back United States

permanently. Regarding the Tourist Visa, indeed this is a legal way of immigration to come in to

United States, but I have exposed it out here as a way of Illegal Immigration to stand the point in

which a huge number of people who are getting this kind of Visa, are just getting it so they can

come in to United States with the minor intention of only be a tourist, having in mind staying in

the country illegal just like the rest of the illegal immigrants. These people use the Tourist Visa to

come in to the United States and never come back to Dominican Republic until the find the way

of getting the documents which give them a legal status in the country just as also the people who

come in the boat trips.

Boat trips are like traveling to death. However, a lot of people still try to perform these

trips like the case of a family friend where he left the country in a boat trip and got drown as a

result of trying to do such a terrible trip. In relation to the way of coming in to United States with

a Tourist Visa to later remain in to the country with an illegal status seems like the easiest way but

once you are here if you have any problem with the authorities while been illegal and you get

caught by the immigration agents you are also getting deported to Dominican Republic losing also

the chance of coming back to United States.

I know cases in which people come to United States with a Tourist Visa and they fail while

answering questions asked by the immigration agents in the airports. For example, the wife of a

friend, she came in to United States with a Visa Tourist but while passing by immigration in the

John F. Kennedy's airport one of the immigration agents stop her randomly and asked her -what

was the purpose of her visit to United States? And she failed when answering to that question by

telling the agent that she was coming in to United States to work which is illegal when you come

to the country with a Tourist Visa. With this information given to the agent she makes him think

that she was also going to stay in the country with an illegal status, so he proceeded to detain her

and getting her deported right there. This is a way in which you can come in to United States being

legal but be careful if you reveal any kind of information of your real intentions to come to United

States otherwise this is what will happen to you.

With the way of faking the fingerprints. It is not even to talk about it if you get caught, all

the problems and criminals charges that you will get. Narcos and people with high level of

delinquency are the only people who use these complex methods of illegal immigration and all of

them are using these methods because they need to hide their real identities otherwise nobody will

do such a feat.

Therefore, after exposing out which one are the common ways of illegal immigration

among Dominican Republic and United States, I truly want to advise you to not get desperate

trying to risk everything even your own live seeking a way to come into United States looking for

a better life to you and your family. There are very good legal ways for you to come in to United

States without the need of staying in the country with an illegal status. People just need to be

organized with the time that they have on their visa and while in United States they can start

looking for the right connections to obtain a legal status with a Residence Visa (Green Card) that

will preserve all your human rights intact.

According to this a good way of doing so, will be getting a Workers’ Visa. Most people

normally can meet the requirements to go and apply for this visa at the United State of America

embassy in the Dominican Republic. The same thing you can do by getting a Student’s Visa if

your case is that you don’t have nobody in the United States who can request you as a family. But

always remember taking illegal immigration ways is not the best manner to come to the United

States looking for a better life, instead, these are ways to go to jail and being deported from United

States or something even worst like lose your life in one of these risky sailings.
