I hope the people who have so much sympathy for Venezuelans fleeing the country are willing to open their own country's doors to them.
Somehow, though, I suspect those very same people will instead give them the middle finger and build a wall to keep them out, because they really don't give a shit about Venezuelans but just want to score political points by being against a left-wing government.
- josephcsible 5y agoIt's not sustainable to take in unlimited numbers of immigrants from every badly-governed country in the world. It'd be way better to fix Venezuela's government so people don't need to flee anymore.
- pmoriarty 5y agoWho's talking about unlimited? Let's start with allowing in more immigrants than we do now. But, no, instead the racists and xenophobes (because that's what they are) are always pushing for less.
