Venezuela's Agreement to Receive Illegal Migrants from the U.S.
President Trump announced that Venezuela has agreed to receive back illegal migrants from the U.S., including gang members of Tren de Aragua. The deal seems to only cover Venezuelan gangsters. The State Department's special envoy for Latin America stated that there would be no negotiation. Biden's invitation for Venezuelans to settle in the U.S. has been valuable to Venezuela's dictatorship. The return of Venezuelans could benefit ordinary Americans by nudging up wages and reducing housing costs.
