Your use of the term “export hub” is so accurate.
Close to Puerto Plata’s airport with ample connections to the US, and in an attractive tourist area.

The press in the DR is giving some more background:
It was the realtor that had allegedly sold a piece of land to Silsby in Magante who contacted the Catholic Diocese in Puerto Plata asking them to rent out their school, vocational training center and retreat in Cabarete. It was a hotel until 2006. The diocese was reluctant at first, but when the realtor insisted that Silsby’s organization urgently needed shelter for their Haitian orphans they finally agreed to rent 45 rooms for 6 months, at $7,000 per month.

Now we know that – at that point – Silsby hàd no orphans. She still needed to find them.

But it gave her the possibility to hand out the pretty flyers with photos convincing the parents in Callebasse (close to Kenscoff) that their kids would be in a beautiful environment, and that they could visit them later on.
Now imagine what it would cost these poor folks to travel all the way to the north coast of the DR. And who says they would get a visa to enter the DR in the first place?
The likelihood they would ever see their children again was very small.

Hey there, look at this, it isn’t Laura Silsby asking for prayers for her hatched plan, this is dated January 21, 2009, Central Valley Baptist Church. The minister there, Pastor Clint, got up a prayer circle to be praying for them all during their mission

People were dying in Haiti and going to hell! It was the whole damn church that was in on this.

“Prayer for the Haiti Team
We are in the process of sending out a team to Help with the Haiti effort.The team will be traveling to Haiti this Saturday. There are many needs.One of our church family has been working on building an Orphanage inthe Dominican Republic for rescued orphans from Haiti. NOW the needis even greater. We are building a team to go now and lease atemporary building to house them until the orphanage is built.”

That says WE ARE BUILDING A TEAM and then REFERS to Laura Silsby.

It doesn’t say Laura Silsby is leasing a tempory building to house the orphans, it says, WE ARE BUILDING A TEAM TO GO NOW AND LEASE A TEMPORARY BUILDING.

Well it looks like Gods plan was to teach these Christians a little lesson in humility. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to know that moving children to different countries isn’t as easy as renting out a motel in the Dominican Republic. I can’t believe that these people never thought what would happen at the border with a bunch of undocumented kids. Do they really think that a US passport and bible give them the right to do whatever they want? If you ask me they are getting their just desserts if you think you own the world someone will show you otherwise.

This was one of my favorite excerpts from their Mission Plan:

Sun Jan 23rd: Drive bus from Santo Domingo into Port au Prince, Haiti and gather 100 orphans from the streets and collapsed orphanages, then return to the DR

The mind boggles…
