“A lot of these criminals have taken advantage of Venezuela’s most vulnerable people who have fled the country” in the wake of an economic and social issues, said former Border Patrol Agent Ammon Blair. The gang has now become a significant concern along the US-Mexico border, Blair said. A CNN report said U.S. Border Patrol arrested 38 possible gang members between October 2022 and 2023, with two detained near the El Paso border. FBI Special Agent Britton Boyd with the El Paso FBI highlighted the threat to Borderland communities, emphasizing that identified Tren de Aragua members face prosecution for illegal entry into the U.S. “The gang capitalizes on its Venezuelan community for entry, primarily engaging in human smuggling and sex trafficking,” Boyd said. Blair, the former Border Patrol agent, said this can be extremely troublesome for Borderland communities given that this gang is extremely violent. “The same thing that is happening in South America is now going to start happening here in the United States in the Venezuelan migrant communities,” Blair said.

Biden Opens Doors to Migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua; Amid Record Numbers https://onvenezuela.com/biden-opens-doors-to-migrants-from-cuba-venezuela-and-nicaragua-amid-record-numbers%ef%bf%bc%ef%bf%bc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=biden-opens-doors-to-migrants-from-cuba-venezuela-and-nicaragua-amid-record-numbers%25ef%25bf%25bc%25ef%25bf%25bc Thu, 22 Sep 2022 12:44:03 +0000 https://onvenezuela.com/?p=16090

Title 42 gives the Border Patrol the power to remove some migrants without allowing them to apply for asylum. But the U.S. can only expel migrants who will accept their own countries, which means that because of strained relations, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua are also not receiving deportees from U.S. grounds. “That has led the U.S. government to allow citizens from those countries to remain in the country to pursue their asylum claims, likely encouraging more people fleeing the three countries to make the dangerous journey to the U.S,” notes the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).by Sabrina Martín Rondon.

El Título 42 otorga a la Patrulla Fronteriza el poder de expulsar a algunos migrantes sin permitirles solicitar asilo. Pero EE. UU. solo puede expulsar a los inmigrantes que acepten sus propios países, lo que significa que, debido a las tensiones en las relaciones, Cuba, Venezuela y Nicaragua tampoco reciben deportados desde territorio estadounidense. “Eso ha llevado al gobierno de los EE. UU. a permitir que los ciudadanos de esos países permanezcan en el país para presentar sus solicitudes de asilo, probablemente alentando a más personas que huyen de los tres países a hacer el peligroso viaje a los EE. UU.”, señala el Wall Street Journal (WSJ) .

The U.S. effort to pressure Mexico on these three particular nationalities illustrates the depth of concern within the Biden’s Democratic administration about their border crossings. Most migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela who cross into the United States are allowed to stay to pursue asylum claims, since they are difficult to deport due to frosty diplomatic relations with their governments.

Traducción de cortesía -> El esfuerzo de Estados Unidos para presionar a México sobre estas tres nacionalidades en particular ilustra la profundidad de la preocupación dentro de la administración demócrata de Biden sobre sus cruces fronterizos. A la mayoría de los inmigrantes de Cuba, Nicaragua y Venezuela que cruzan a Estados Unidos se les permite quedarse para presentar solicitudes de asilo, ya que son difíciles de deportar debido a las frías relaciones diplomáticas con sus gobiernos.

Many Venezuelan immigrants and immigration advocates said immigration was being driven by the economic hit that followed the Covid-19 pandemic, along with unemployment, xenophobia and growing political instability in many countries in the region. Particularly in the second half of 2021 and early this year, the number of Venezuelans skyrocketed, at one point becoming the second largest group of immigrants caught at the US border after Mexicans. By Jenny Carolina Gonzalez and Juan Forero. Full Text -> SundayVision

Traducción de cortesía -> Algunos inmigrantes venezolanos y defensores de la inmigración dijeron que la inmigración estaba siendo impulsada por el golpe económico que siguió a la pandemia de Covid-19, junto con el desempleo, la xenofobia y la creciente inestabilidad política en muchos países de la región. Particularmente en la segunda mitad de 2021 y principios de este año, la cantidad de venezolanos se disparó, convirtiéndose en un momento en el segundo grupo más grande de inmigrantes atrapados en la frontera de EE. UU. después de los mexicanos.
