This is absolutely AWESOME! Kudos to Colombia; and any other country that opens their borders like this! One of the coolest things that could happen long-term

This is absolutely AWESOME! Kudos to Colombia; and any other country that opens their borders like this!
One of the coolest things that could happen long-term, is that these Venezuelan migrants start businesses, stay in Colombia, and contribute positively to the overall economy of Colombia...ultimately making their lives better, the lives of Colombians better, and showing the xenophobic parts of the world, that, yes, immigrants into one's country is a good thing!
- x3tm 8y agoAgreed, though " [...] showing the xenophobic parts of the world, that, yes, immigrants into one's country is a good thing!" We actually don't need a colombian experiment to know this. It's all over the history books.
- oh_sigh 8y ago"if the best possible outcome happens, it will show all those xenophobes they were wrong". Likewise, will you revise your viewpoints if the end result is less positive?
- agumonkey 8y agoI wonder how easier it gets with populations of common roots. How different the languages and cultures ? the closer the easier.
