The Reality Reports

Colombia Becomes The Top Destination For Venezuelan Migrants: Colombia hosts approximately 2.8 million Venezuelan migrants, making it the largest destination country for people fleeing Venezuela. This represents about one-third of all Venezuelans who have left their home country. The large number of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia equals roughly six percent of Colombia's total population.  Many Venezuelans choose Colombia because the two countries share a long border, making it easier to reach by walking or taking short bus rides. The shared language and similar cultures also help newcomers feel more comfortable as they start their new lives. Colombia created a special program called the Temporary Protection Statute for Venezuelan Migrants in 2021, which has helped more than 1.9 million Venezuelans gain legal status. This program gives people permission to work legally, access healthcare, and send their children to school.  The government allows these permits to last until 203...

The Overlooked Reality: When most Americans think about undocumented immigrants, they often picture people from Latin America or other non-white regions.

The impact is happening right now. Farmers in California, Texas, and other states report that their workers are too scared to come to work.  Some farms have completely shut down for days at a time. This means crops are not being planted, harvested, or processed when they need to be.
