But do you think, say, millions of Venezuelans would immigrate here if we permitted it? Maybe that's a temporary contingency of a failing state but there does seem to be a much higher risk of failing states in the southern hemisphere.

Maybe Venezuelans, given the collapse of their economy. BUT, check it out - they're *not* coming here like the Guatemalans are. Why not? Well, for one thing, Venezuela is farther away - a lot more borders to cross.

There's probably quite a few who could afford a single one way plane trip to Miami....but again I doubt we make it easy for them to get visas because if we did there would be a great deal of induced demand. 1/2
