I know Colombians who are complaining about the Venezuelans coming in. Venezuela is a basket case.
I know Mexicans who are annoyed that Colombians and Venezuelans are coming in.
I know rich Mexicans who have sold everything to move to Texas to "escape the murderers, rapists and criminals in Mexico."
I know Mexicans in Baja Sur Mexico who wish the aggressive rowdy Mainland Mexicans would not come over to mess things up.

I thought Venezuela was a liberal paradise, why would anybody want to leave? Don't they get everything free from the government?

I'm still looking for my genuine Pinochet replica hat as remembrance and preparation for potential future events. That man deserves a monument and has my utmost regard based on what I know of him.

Comparing a democratically elected president to a dictator who comes though power via a military coup - priceless!

(Editors note: Yes, Haitians are Latinos as French is a Latin language.)
President Sebastian Piñera decreed that all Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants must acquire a visa prior to their arrival to the Latin American country. However, this legislature extends not only to incoming migrants, but to preexisting residents and will force them to return home to fill out visa applications at the Chilean ministry in their respective countries.
The new measure attempts to quell the flood of undocumented immigrants traveling without passports. Both Haitians and Venezuelans were previously permitted to travel to Chile and wait until their arrival to search for work and initiate the lengthy and complicated process of applying for a work visa and a Chilean I.D.
With the changes to immigration policy, Haitians will only be permitted 30 days for a tourist visa which will prevent holders from working or earning money in Chile. Temporary residency for humanitarian visas, limited to one year, will be awarded to only 10,000 Haitians, with preference given to residents with high education or families.
“I’ve been receiving calls all day from Haitians saying they already bought tickets to travel for May and the end of April. They should go and get their money back from agents because they won’t be allowed to enter,” said Haitian migrant and Chilean immigration activist, Yvenet Dorsainvil.
In regards to the humanitarian visa, Dorsainvil said, “It’s not normal, it’s not humane... Piñera says he wants to prioritize children in Chile, well he can’t prioritize one set of children and put conditions on another group.”
The flow of illegal immigrants is only likely to increase, Dorsainvil said, as Haitians take to traveling across the land to enter the country by a neighboring nation rather than taking a plane. The series of regulations will be effective as of August 1.
Over the last four years, there has been a dramatic increase in immigration in Chile with statistics jumping from 416,000 in 2014 to an estimated 1 million in 2017.
