No one's denying Venezuela is a failed nation state nor that there's enormous need.

Most of the wealthy have fled and no doubt will welcome refugee status.

Let's see what Trump did for Venezuela just today ... oh yes ...

Pence called for MORE sanctions on Venezuela ahead of a LA summit. The world must recognize that Venezuela is a dictatorship. For those who make it out of the country? We coughed up $16 million.

And, apparently, some green cards.

Trump is a simple guy in his values. He certainly tells it like it is and often without a filter.

Breaking our immigration laws are bad.
Legal immigration is good.

It is pretty simple. I don't know why the Left has such a hard time understanding this.
They do not understand the difference. They refuse to say illegal immigrant, and when someone points that out they claim we are racists immigrant haters.

If they differentiated between the legal and illegal immigrants, the entire premise of their arguments (irrational as they are) would fall apart.

And your solution is....?



Weren't you saying up thread we can't take in refugees?



From the WAPO:



"AS VENEZUELA has plunged deeper and deeper into a economic, political and humanitarian crisis, its regional neighbors and the United States have stood back, refusing to adopt meaningful collective measures to pressure the authoritarian regime of Nicolás Maduro and instead hiding behind appeals for “dialogue” with the democratic opposition. Now the region’s leaders are being bluntly called out by the secretary general of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, who says the strategy has been a feckless failure and that collective action is imperative to restore Venezuelan democracy. The Obama adminisration ignored Mr. Almagro when he made a similar appeal last year. The Trump administration should listen to him.

Mr. Almagro, a former Uruguayan foreign minister, is anything but the right-wing fascist that Mr. Maduro’s propaganda describes. He is, rather, a leftist liberal democrat who has committed himself to defending the Inter-American Democratic Charter, a treaty adopted by the 34 OAS nations in 2001 that provides for action — including the suspension of OAS membership — when states breach democratic norms such as free elections, freedom of assembly and free speech.

The Venezuelan regime, says a 73-page report issued Tuesday by Mr. Almagro, “is in violation of every article of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.” As he put it, his report is “brimming with abuses, rights violations, curtailment of civil, political and electoral freedoms, poverty, hunger, deprivation of liberty, torture, censorship, and the whole catalogue of violations of political, social and personal dignity.”"
