The Dominican Republic plans to deport more than 200,000 Haitians from its territory. The Organization of American States (OAS) sent a delegation to the two countries and issued a report urging a dialogue to resolve the migration crisis. A constitutional reform in the Dominican Republic stripped children born in the country of Haitians parents of their Dominican citizenship. A regularization program currently underway has raised human rights concerns. Bianca Perez reports from Washington. teleSUR
