Venezuelan migrants have been in the news lately in the United States. About 50 Venezuelans arrived by airplane on the small Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard on September 14. No one on the island was expecting the migrants. The migrants had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the state of Texas. After a few days, they were sent to Massachusetts by the Republican governor of Florida who is critical of the border policies under President Joe Biden’s administration. Venezuelan migrants also made news in early September when it was reported that six people drowned crossing the Rio Grande river near Eagle Pass, Texas. Five of the dead were from Venezuela. On Monday, U.S. officials said that Venezuelans are now the second-largest group trying to come into the U.S. Mexicans are still the largest group of migrants. But the number of Venezuelans rose past the number of Hondurans and Guatemalans coming into the U.S. in August.
