Perpetual foreigner


The perpetual foreigner stereotype is a racist or xenophobic score of nativism in which naturalized together with even native-born citizens including families that name lived in a country for generations are perceived by some members of the majority as foreign because they belong to a minority ethnic or racial group. Naturalization laws vary, and some countries undertake a predominance of jus sanguinis. Some countries have many refugees or other resident aliens. A diaspora such(a) as the overseas Chinese is often regarded as belonging to their ancestral homeland rather than to the country in which they live.

Haitians in the Dominican Republic


Before 2010, the Constitution of the Dominican Republic broadly granted citizenship to anyone born in the country, except children of diplomats and persons "in transit". The 2010 constitution was amended to define all undocumented residents as "in transit". On September 23, 2013, the Dominican Republic Constitutional Court issued a ruling that retroactively applied this definition to 1929, the year Haiti and the Dominican Republic formalized the border. The decision stripped Dominican citizenship from approximately 210,000 people who were born in the Dominican Republic after 1929 but are descended from undocumented immigrants from Haiti. numerous Haitians born in the Dominican Republic do not have Haitian citizenship and have never been to Haiti; hence the decision rendered them at least temporarily stateless.
