Quote:The number of refugees and migrants fleeing Venezuela amid the country’s severe economic downfall has now reached 3 million, the United Nations refugee agency announced Thursday, the most since 2015.

Data from national immigration authorities revealed surrounding countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have taken in nearly 2.4 million Venezuelans as the country undergoes one of the largest mass exoduses in the Western region’s recent history.

“Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have largely maintained a commendable open-door policy to refugees and migrants from Venezuela; however, their reception capacity is severely strained, requiring a more robust and immediate response from the international community if this generosity and solidarity are to continue,” Eduardo Stein, the U.N. refugee agency and International Organization for Migration joint special representative for refugees and migrants from Venezuela, said in a statement.

Venezuela has been suffering through a devastating economic crisis for the past five years that has left the country with a collapsed economy, hyperinflation and a complete breakdown of public goods and services, including deteriorating roads, food shortages, disturbing water cleanliness, failed electricity, high crime, and a lack of adequate medicine for the sick.

The socialist country’s conditions have caused mass migration flows out of the country, leading to intensified spillover in neighboring countries, and as Stein stated, the reception capacity of these neighboring countries is severely limited.

Colombia currently has the highest number of Venezuelan refugees, totaling over 1 million, with some 3,000 more arriving every day.

Venezuela’s consumer prices rose 833,997 percent so far in 2018, according to Reuters, keeping it on track to hit 1 million percent by the end of the year, as was projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in July.

The World Bank has said these conditions are unlikely to change and surrounding countries should be prepared to take in more fleeing Venezuelans, the Miami Herald reported.

It would be funny to tell them they could become legal immigrants in the U.S. if they mail in Republican ballots to Broward and Dade county and to Maricopa county in Arizona.

I would love to see the fraudulent Dems have to count those votes too!

Where is Danny Glover, Sean Penn and the rest of them? No photo ops with Maduro.

Take note dems, this is why we have the second amendment. 10% (3 million is roughly 10% of Venezuela's population) of Americans wouldn't have to flee, they would simply take back their country.

Nah, lots of them are in neighboring South American countries and lots of them are already here.

There is some in that caravan for sure. Some do make it to the USA. Some are on the DACA list also, most probably came as adults also. They are spread out over S. America, Dominican Rep etc.

Stupid Venezuela. They didn't implement it right.

This makes socialism look bad.

If they would have just confiscated 1,000 private companies at gun point things would be much better.

Give the hot ones asylum I say.

Venezuela is a Communist country, not a Democratic elected Socialist like the European countries.

So when Bernie was praising Venezuela, he was praising communism? But he's not a communist?

Actually the European countries are not socialist. The government does not own the means of production. It's private ownership with government direction. That's more fascism than socialism. And the goal of their social welfare systems is to provide a safety net, not massive redistribution of wealth or income. Massive redistribution is communist, not socialist.

You mean the ones who rely on the U.S. to protect them militarily while they mock us?

Euro countries are capitalistic. Government meddling in industries like health insurance is anti capitalistic though.

Just wait until Trump forces those countries to pay their fair share of prescription drugs and see how well their socialized medicine holds up.
