However, in July the DHS announced an 18-month extension for those already in the program to renew their statuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cato Associate Director of Immigration Studies David Bier previously told the DCNF a primary reason many Venezuelans aren\u2019t sent back under Title 42 is because the U.S. doesn\u2019t have diplomatic relations with Venezuela, which refuses to allow for deportation flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThis is true for deportations from Mexico as well,\u201d Bier said. \u201cThe Trump administration also put a flight ban in effect for Venezuela, meaning no flights are allowed to go there. Nonetheless, some expulsions are still happening via third countries, but it\u2019s much more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the more than 5 million Venezuelan refugees in Latin America approximately 3.7 million of them live in Colombia and Peru, where they face \u201cviolence, hate, abuse, sexual and labor exploitation, and discrimination,\u201d according to the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAn exodus from these two countries alone would be a major concern as it could potentially signal larger waves of Venezuelan migrants to emigrate to the United States,\u201d the memo said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 150,000 Venezuelans are in Panama, however these refugees are close to losing their \u201cpathways to residency\u201d because of legislation that is set to expire, making their best option to come to the U.S. illegally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWithout access to legal status, migrants cannot apply for work permits and are forced to seek jobs in the informal market, making them vulnerable to exploitation,\u201d the memo said. \u201cFor those qualified to renew their regularization status, the 2,600 USD smuggling fee is cheaper than paying regularization costs in Panama.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Customs and Border Patrol, the number of Venezuelan migrants encountered in fiscal year 2022 is over triple the number encountered the previous fiscal year, when 1,270 Venezuelans were expelled under Title 42. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. border is on red alert.
