The director of migration said it was not a border wall that Luis Abinader’s government set out to build on the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, but rather a perimeter security fence.
Enrique García Vargas spoke yesterday during a border tour about the positions raised by various sectors, following the government’s announcement to build a border wall to counter migration from Haiti.
“It’s not just a border security fence, it’s a whole project that includes technology issues, facial recognition, fingerprints, infrared cameras, military equipment and other security features,” García Vargas said during a tour of the northern border of Dajabón and south of Jimaní and Pedernales
President Abinader raised the issue in the presentation of his accounts on February 27, saying that in the second half of this year new measures will be implemented to strengthen security on the separation line, which will combine physical and technological means and include a perimeter. double fence in the most conflicting sections and a single one in the rest. In addition, there will be motion sensors, facial recognition cameras, radars and infrared rays.
