Thousands of Venezuelans left home to different places, including the United States.
Venezuelans came to the border.
They were put in places to process them.
My understanding is that the United States, like many other societies, first world countries, as they call, they have this process where you can ask for political asylum.
Some of them were allowed to get into the United States.
So the issues of Latin America, the constant migration of Latin America has also a level of connection between U.S.
policy.
I wouldn't say 100% U.S.
is responsible because we have local governments in our countries that are very responsible as well.
But there is a link between those two factors.
So all these things create instability.
And instability creates migrations.
And also the receiving economy needs people.
And so we have a broken immigration system that needs people, that needs their labor, but don't want to see people.
People want to eat their tacos, but don't want to see the ones who put them together.
People want to see their houses clean or hotels clean, but don't want to see the labor that produces that.
So that's, I think, something that the United States people need to understand, that you cannot have the labor without the person.
I believe so.
I believe so.
And I don't think no one speaks about open borders.
