6. Many Venezuelans are leaving

Three million Venezuelans have left their home country since 2014, according to the UN.

The majority of those leaving have crossed into neighbouring Colombia, some then move on to Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Others have gone south to Brazil.

So there we have it, according to this chart above, almost 300,000 Venezuelan refugees have come to the US. Perhaps, they are in Miami mostly. That is a huge figure, and surely dwarfs the numbers of most other groups we have let in, generally speaking.  Maybe a lot of Vietnamese came but otherwise, I don't think we've let in these numbers for Iraqis, Syrians, Somalis and so on.  But I know, a lot of these people are just given temporary residence (per Rubio) and this is not permanent in the US.

The UN was placing the figure now, at 4 million, almost 10% of the population, that was in the article from Forbes.

We're going to have to intervene in Venezuela and get rid of Maduro and his commies.

Otherwise, expect two, three million or more Venezuelan refugees to come this way.

The Venezuelans who are coming here are overwhelmingly middle class professionals.  They should be welcomed with open arms because they’ll be giving value-add very quickly.
