First modification:
Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere sits next to one enjoying a solid economic boom. Currently, the dividing line between the two nations is a porous border crossed by thousands of workers. But at the behest of the Dominican government, a wall is being built along some 200 kilometers of the border. The project, very popular on the Dominican side, is seen by Haitians as a humiliation.
