Don’t do it. After one Afghan refugee attacked two members of the U.S. national guard in Washington, the Administration then criticized all Afghan refugees, ending support for various aid programs for Afghans who had helped American troops in that country.
Today I read that the U.S. is no longer supporting the Kurds who have been allied with the U.S. in Syria.
We are not loyal to our friends. I was in CA working for a State Senator when the Vietnamese “boat people” were arriving in CA. You should have read some of the nasty letters that came in, full of vitriol against the refugees. These were people who had supported the U.S. Now many Americans were angry that they being allowed into the U.S.
If I were a Venezuelan today, I’d think twice about giving support to the U.S. If we behave as usual, we will abandon you at the first sign of trouble.
