Illegal trips

The migratory route from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico is the one that registers the most deaths and disappearances of migrants of all the routes in the Caribbean: 183 cases from 2014 to 2021, reports the Missing Migrants Project (PMD) of the World Organization for Migrations (OIM) and that was reviewed in a publication of this newspaper.

This dangerous road has been used by Dominicans, but also by Haitians, Cubans, and Venezuelans. “Migrants traveling this route face serious risks of death, particularly if they use unseaworthy vessels that can sink or capsize in the ocean,” he warns.

The usual boat to travel irregularly from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico is the so-called yola. Up to 100 people are transported in a yola, which endangers the stability of the home-made boat.
