Here's a concrete solution to alleviate the crisis at the US border: End the tyranny of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. NOW! This Sunday, Maduro shamelessly declared himself the winner of the presidential election despite losing 70% of the votes to the opposition candidate. People began taking to the streets in outrage. The unrest is escalating rapidly and will likely end with thousands of civilian deaths and incarcerations if the regime prevails. But... here's why this matters to the US. Fifteen years of Maduro's narco-dictatorship led to an economic collapse and a dismantling of civic institutions. This led to 8 million people leaving Venezuela out of desperation in the last decade. Yes, you read it right... 8 million! To give you an order of magnitude -- that's about 1/3 of the nation's population. Gone. Poof! And, hundreds of thousands of them keep piling up at the US border, seeking asylum from this psychopath. The crisis at the US border will only worsen if Maduro prevails. We can't afford to let this happen. Here's to a free Venezuela! https://lnkd.in/efqdTqZ3
