The companies who run the Batey's are not complaining much either as they get 'free' labor. within QUOTE]

Most of them don't end up in Batey's! Unless your calling little Haiti in Santo Domingo a Batey. Most end up in construction jobs, living in the building that they are building, or begging on the street.

There are hundreds of Haitians in Jarabacoa and there is no such thing as a Batey in Jarabacoa. Most work in construction or farming (vegetables) and they either rent from Dominicans, or stay in a rooming house. Many stay in little huts behind poor dominican homes.
