RE:Trump vs maduro 2.0 "A deal with Maduro would meet, the lobbyists say, two key Trump campaign priorities—reducing illegal migration and reducing energy prices for U.S. consumers."
There is no shortage of lobbyists representing importers of goods from any country, as long as these are cheap imports.
I would argue that most migrants from Venezuela are decent people fleeing the nasty communist regime. Similar to migrants from Eastern Europe, Vietnam or Cuba. Most, if not all, would be vetted and legally accepted as refugees if applied in Mexico or any other country.
What Maduro is doing is taking advantage of open border and releasing and criminals and gang members. He is probably paying the Mexican mobsters to ensure safe passage.
Time will tell but knowing Marco Rubio who's parent fled commies in Cuba, I don't think that Venezuela will get a break.
