April 25th, 2014 09:41 AM ET Dominican Republic 'committed to inclusive immigration policy' By?An?bal de Castro, Special to CNN Editor?s note: An?bal de Castro is ambassador of the Dominican Republic to the United States. This article is a response to an?opinion piece from Amnesty International?published earlier this week. The views expressed are his own. The Dominican Republic is taking proactive steps to tackle the complex issue of immigration by implementing a policy for registering both national and immigrant citizens, while protecting everyone?s fundamental rights. And the challenges the Dominican Republic is facing to adopt these policies are not much different than those confronting the United States and other nations.
