The #UnitedStates will provide $240 million in new humanitarian assistance to help meet the needs of #refugees and #migrants across the Western Hemisphere, said @SecBlinken.
To be eligible, Venezuelans must:
have a supporter in the United States who will provide financial and other support;
pass rigorous biometric and biographic national security and public safety screening and vetting; and
complete vaccinations and other public health requirements.
@POTUS@VP@DHSgov is announcing joint actions with #Mexico to reduce the number of people arriving at our Southwest border and create a more orderly and safe process for people fleeing the humanitarian and economic crisis in Venezuela.
Migrant Drop-Offs: The idea of sending migrants to Democratic-leaning areas circulated in conservative circles for years, gaining traction under President Donald J. Trump. Now some Republican governors have put it into practice.
