... and guess where most of them will probably end up?
... and Kamala will welcome them to the US with open arms and 'free' stuff.

All poor. All non English speaking. All uneducated. All illegal.
All sucking off the US taxpayer and clogging up the system.
All future Democrats when they are fast tracked in by the Harris regime.


More than 40 Percent of Venezuelans - 10 Million People - Considering Leaving Country


A poll published this week by the Venezuelan firm Meganálisis found that 43.2 percent of Venezuelans — more than 10 million people — are considering leaving the country following the results of the July 28 sham presidential election, which socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro claims he “won.”

43.2 percent of the poll’s respondents said that they are considering leaving the country following the election. Meganálisis explained that 43.2 percent would represent 10.4 million Venezuelans, of which 6.9 million are part of the country’s electorate.

Out of the 43.2 percent considering leaving, the polling firm further explained in a breakdown, 39.8 percent said they did not know when they would leave, 22.3 percent said that they will begin packing up at some point during 2025, 15.6 percent will do it after December, 5.8 percent in “a couple months,” and 1.6 will begin leaving “immediately.”

You'd think the practical place to go would be Portugal? 😀

There are probably some of those people that would be decent legal immigrant candidates to get into our country. But many of them probably are so chaotic now they would cause problems in our country. We must vet immigrants well to make sure troublemakers are not coming over our borders. The current whitehouse administration was the worst at letting unchecked or unvetted immigrants into the country. They leave people with no ID in but if you lose your passport on a trip overseas, you can have a hell of a time getting back to the USA.

It's coming. It's happened before.
I have an adopted 'brown' daughter from Bolivia who is darker than 'black' Harris ...
but supposedly I hate people of color according to some. It's ridiculous.

Nice horror fantasy you've got there. Let's see how it compares to consensus reality. The following data is from the most recent wave of Venezuelan immigration (2020).

Total number of emigrants, 5,387,280. Total number immigrating to the US, 505,647. That's about 10.6%. Almost 90 percent go somewhere else.

www.statista.com...

.............................................................

The rest of this data is from:

www.migrationpolicy.org...

.............................................................

".....Households headed by a Venezuelan immigrant had a median annual income of $64,000 in 2021, compared to $70,000 for all immigrant- and native-led households.

In 2021, Venezuelan immigrants were as likely to be in poverty as immigrants overall (14 percent) and slightly more likely than the U.S. born (13 percent)."

According to government figures, household income of $64,000 per year for a family of 4 is about twice the poverty level of income for a family of 4. On the average, Venezuelan immigrants are about 10% below the median level of annual income, but not likely to be in poverty.

.............................................................

"Venezuelan adults have higher rates of educational attainment than both the native- and overall foreign-born populations. In 2021, approximately 57 percent of Venezuelan immigrants ages 25 and older reported having a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 35 percent of U.S.-born and 34 percent of immigrant adults. The share of Venezuelan immigrants with a college degree is even higher among those who arrived between 2017 and 2021: 62 percent.

.............................................................

"Venezuelans participate in the labor force at much higher rates than the native born and overall foreign-born population. About 74 percent of Venezuelan immigrants ages 16 and older were in the civilian labor force in 2021, compared to 66 percent and 62 percent for the foreign- and U.S.-born populations, respectively. Venezuelans were more likely to be employed in sales and office occupations than other workers."

.............................................................

"Venezuelans are more likely to be covered by private health insurance and less likely to be covered by public insurance than all immigrants and the U.S. born. The share who were uninsured (17 percent) is slightly lower than that of all immigrants."

.............................................................

"Venezuelans are less likely to be naturalized U.S. citizens than immigrants overall. In 2021, 37 percent of Venezuelan immigrants were U.S. citizens, compared to 53 percent of the total foreign-born population."

That means they don't vote.

.............................................................

"..... About 52 percent of Venezuelans ages 5 and over reported limited English proficiency in 2021, compared to about 46 percent of all immigrants. Approximately 6 percent of Venezuelan immigrants spoke only English at home, versus 17 percent of all immigrants."

.............................................................

Most of them go somewhere else; about half of them have some level of English language proficiency; they're not exceptionally poor; they're highly educated; most of them are here legally; they're productive members of society earning wages, paying taxes, and carrying health insurance; and they mostly don't vote.

Other than that, you got it exactly right.

No hun. I"m right.

10 million people want to leave.
They have to go somewhere.
They'll go where they get the best deal.
Harris is giving 'em a free ride on our backs.
They'll come here.
No, they aren't proficient in English.
No, they aren't well educated.
No, they aren't all first class citizens.
No, they aren't coming here legally.
YES .. they are all future democrats.

Consensus reality?

Not really real reality.

Just a kind of generally agreed upon malaise of reality.

They're leaving Venezuela because Trump said he and Elon should flee there to talk if he loses the election.

34 convicts from Venezuela would equal 1 Trump.

Most people don't call illegals Mexicans anymore.They call them Venezuelans. Why do you think that is ?

I think the consensus is that if you meet an illegal he or she is most likely Venezuelan.

And if they're all such hard workers then why are Venezuelan mothers hanging out with their children in front of 7-11 ? Why are about half the homeless shelters in Denver Venezuelans ? Why have they made a tent city under a bridge that the city has effectively given over to them ?

Step out of your bubble and try going to Walmart.

Wow Venezuelans are amazing! Wow!

If they were even half as great as your stats try to make them out to be one would think Venezuela would be an amazing place to live filled with such amazing productive people.

Except it’s not it’s a socialist hell, filled with useless socialists.

Well I will not call you a racist, but am a bit puzzled as to why Spanish speaking Venezuelans would logically cross the Atlantic to Portuguese speaking Portugal? Wouldn't it be quicker and easier to just cross into brazil if they decided they want to speak Portuguese now?
