Venezuela’s coming electoral farce could double its emigration to the US
==========
Venezuela's upcoming presidential elections are expected to be an electoral farce, leading to a wave of emigration. The Chavez-Maduro dictatorship has announced the elections, which are likely to generate political change. The lack of economic opportunities and political repression in Venezuela are driving emigration to the US. The US Southern Command reports that more than 7.7 million Venezuelans have fled the country since 2013. Efforts to democratize Venezuela have failed, and the Maduro regime has not complied with agreements for free and fair elections. Maduro is accused of drug trafficking and is blacklisted for human trafficking. The regime is intentionally promoting the infiltration of criminal groups among migrants crossing the border. The migration strategy is designed to destabilize the US. The response to Venezuela's dictatorship will have a direct impact on the new migration wave.
