In the long term, the future of Venezuela is to have a democratically elected- elected government, in a republic where the country’s leaders are directly accountable to the laws of the country and to the voters of that country.

At the end of the day, the solution here is not simply immigration reform. The solution is a Venezuelan, a Venezuela where Venezuelans who wish to return can return and live without having political or economic concerns.
