Thousands of opposition
protesters have been arrested and dozens have been left for dead or
killed. So in response to this continued political crisis, I have joined with
my colleagues Darren Soto, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, and Debbie Wasserman
Schultz to introduce bipartisan legislation allowing Venezuelan
nationals who have made a new home in the United States to remain here
if they choose to do so, since it is too dangerous to return to their
home country. Instead of returning to the instability and uncertainty in Venezuela,
these individuals would be granted legal permanent residency, so long
as they do not have a criminal record and have never been involved in
the persecution of others, eliminating any possibility of human rights
violators or
Chavista thugs accessing our legal immigration system. The people of Venezuela deserve the American people's support and
admiration for their continued fight against the brutal Maduro anti-
American regime. Honest and hardworking Venezuelans who would be
persecuted or imprisoned unjustly should they return to their country
should be allowed the opportunity to take refuge here in the United
States.
