The U.S. will begin accepting applications for a new parole program for Venezuelan asylum seekers, in a plan that will see most Venezuelans trying to enter the US through its southern border expelled back to Mexico. An estimated 6.8 million Venezuelans have fled their country since the economy tanked in 2014, mostly to Latin America and the Caribbean. But the U.S. economy’s relative strength since the COVID-19 pandemic has caused Venezuelan migrants to look north. Welcome to ‘LIMBO Venezuela’s Tragedy’
