Some Venezuelans may have a legitimate claim to asylum in US. One Venezuelan, apparently an expatriate, tells of “living hell” Venezuela became after Chávez lied his way to socialist dictatorship

“… Some of the lies were his [Chávez’] claims that he would not nationalize a single thing, that he would not take over the media, and that he would only rule for “five years” as a centrist president. He even went as far as to call Cuba, which became his regime’s closest ally and erstwhile colonizer, a dictatorship. ...


One day you’re a teenager, minding your own business. Then — all of a sudden — you’re a young adult forced to scan your fingerprints every Friday to receive a ration of flour or rice...”

    After writing, publishing such an exposé, the author could be imprisoned 20 years for “hate speech” by a kangaroo court such as operated in the US to convict J6 protesters.

    A look into America's future under the Deep State.
    America has something Venezuela didn't have: 500 million privately owned firearms.
    That may be Americans' only salvation from Deep State slavery, if Americans have the courage to defend their liberty.

    I got to know a couple families who, literally, escaped from Venezuela several years ago. They even had to lie to their own families about it - "Oh, we're taking the kids to the beach this weekend" (then, sneaking to the airport). The first family out literally had to smuggle the airline tix to the second family about a year later. Their stories are scary as hell...

    I feel for those whose government abused them.
    In way too many cases, they voted for it.
    Even those who didn't vote for it, how does it make it our responsibility to bail them out?
    Our forefathers made it clear, we don't want, need or desire economic refugees.
    If you want to come here, you must be sponsored.
    For five years you must not be a burden on society; economically, criminally or medically.
    All that being true, how many of the destitute of this planet can this Republic accommodate before the fabric of this nation is torn asunder?
    There 7.8 billion people in the world, how many would rather be here, than where they now live?
    Even if the number was only 1 or 2% Can we really afford to double or triple our population?
    What of those don't speak the language (and don't desire to), don't want to adopt to our way of life, are uneducated, of unknown health and moral character?
    No nation with open borders survives more than one generation.
    When the 2020 election was stolen, we lost more than our legitimate President. We lost our Republic.
    All the while the Left cheers on our demise, like a French mob loping off the head of their king.

    Border invasion with no real control and helping those from areas where there is no law, two different things. We are out of control.We are fast approaching banana republic status, with gangs, cartels and no laws on enforced thanks to Soros and UN. YNo will wil be better off in US, as we are slowing falling to New World Order,where we own no property, have no rights and are controlled by the UN, which will be a totalitarian regime. We will live where they say, hae no cars, eat what they say, and have NO religion, except for state sanctioned worship of governmetn, all else to be banned. Read the document UN Agenda 21 which spells it all out, in deatail, including the depopulation. That figure for the US according to one world site is 75% ti be jukked iff y=oe deoioykatuib qyitas, /di bit kiij ti tge YS fir a better kufem we are fakkubg t=bt tge datm ubti a gekk gike nade bt /budebm /cguba ==m /siris abd tge YB, /we gave bitgubg ti iffer abtibe,

    I thought that even valid asylum seekers only had rights to enter the closest safe country, per international law. Why would Venezuelan residents ever have asylum rights in the US?
    Do I have my facts wrong?
