Immigrants from Venezuela seeking political asylum in the U.S. are turning up in Colorado.
After crossing the border from Mexico, these asylum-seekers, some of whom have no relatives in the state, are being given addresses, they claim, by U.S. Border Patrol agents, and suggestions to find their way here.
These refugees from Venezuela say they arrived in Denver with only an address. It turned out to be the Denver Red Cross office, which had no idea they were coming.
