00:00Hundreds of protesters gathered outside National Congress in Santo Domingo to protest a proposed government plan to regularize undocumented foreign workers, most of whom are Aisian.
00:13Why are business owners advocating for a new regularization of Aisians? Because the way they don't pay taxes. You don't have to insure them. They prefer to Aisianize the country than pay a decent wage to the Dominican people, and we cannot allow that.
00:32Protesters carried signs reading, we don't want to be foreigners in our country, and no more Aisian regulation. Currently, an estimated 500,000 Aisians live in the Dominican Republic, which has a population of around 11 million.
00:47It's not that we're xenophobic. We're just tired of Dominicans being denied opportunities that are given to Aisians.
00:54The Dominican government has pledged to deport up to 10,000 undocumented Aisians per week, claiming the influx as strained public services.
