The Biden administration is going to resume deporting migrants to Venezuela, two US officials told the Associated Press on Thursday.
The process is expected to begin shortly, the officials said, though they did not provide specific details on when the flights would begin taking off. The officials were not authorized to publicly disclose details of the government’s plan ahead of an official announcement and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The news comes not long after the administration increased protected status for Venezuelans who arrive to the US. It reflects the larger strategy by Biden to not only provide expanded legal pathways for people arriving but also to crack down on those who illegally cross into the US.

It is important to discourage illegal economic migrants. Bona fide persecuted refugees is a different issue but economic migrants must enter any country via proper channels. The human smugglers make lots of money on illegal migrants. Most of the migrants borrow huge amounts of money to get smuggled, which they then have to repay to syndicates as literally identured serfs at low wages.

Depends on what caused the economic issues. If it is because we toppled a government or because we put many broad economic sanctions on them, we ups probably be taking in the people affected by our actions.
