On the sidelines of the inauguration of the new premises of the National Progressive Force (Fuerza Nacional Progresista - FNP), which celebrates its 35th anniversary, the leaders proposed to establish a comprehensive border-monitoring system, which includes inter alia the construction of a wall or a fence, on a large part of the 388 km between the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

They said it was not necessary that the wall to be built along the entire border line, because there already rugged areas that prevent and hinder the passage of illegal migrants and smuggling of all kinds in the Dominican territory.

Another proposal made, is the strengthening of control in the services of visas to foreigners, which they say are excessive.

If this wall project is not new from the FNP https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11349-haiti-security-border-wall-project-studied-in-a-dominican-commission.html Plan always rejected so far by President Danilo Medina, the adoption of an integrated security system for border control and regulate migration and trade in all border provinces, takes more consistency with the establishment of the Phase III of the migratory control plan, scheduled for January 2016 (Phase I : PNRE, Phase II repatriation of illegal aliens).

One know only little for the moment on this Phase III and the introduction of this enhanced monitoring system of the border, except that according to several credible but unofficial information and subject to the usual reservations, this might involve the use of satellite imagery, a network of cameras and other electronic detection equipment, mini drones equipped with high resolution camera, the systematic application at the border of biometric controls and the proliferation of motorized military patrols.
