Over a million Venezuelans have fled their country in just the last two years. Little food, little water, murder rate is one of the world's highest . . it's understandable.
"Colombia recently deployed 3,000 troops along its border . . to control the influx of more than 250,000 refugees." They already have at least 750,000 Venezuelans in the country.

"Brazil declared a state of social emergency, deployed 100 more troops to the border, established new checkpoints and a field hospital to deal with the more than 60,000 Venezuelan refugees."
Peru was flooded with 149,000 just last year.
According to this article, the goal of these countries should be to integrate the Venezuelans as quickly as possible - so that they can take care of themselves and so that they will not overwhelm social services.
That means: 1) expedite work permits, 2) keep order
