Dominican Immigrants in the United States
April 11, 2018

By Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova

Migration from the Dominican Republic to the United States largely began after rebel forces killed Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1961. Economic and political instability during the transition period and subsequent U.S. intervention accelerated the departure of Dominicans in the 1960s and the decades that followed. In 2016, nearly 1.1 million Dominican immigrants lived in the United States, representing 2.5 percent of the nation’s roughly 44 million foreign-born population.

LOL, seems that way.   Dominicans are good people, been there a few times, always had a great time.

Now, the other side of that island......not so much.
