A survey by Caracas-based Datincorp found that 57 percent of all Venezuelans said they want to leave the country, up from 49 percent in May 2015. Broken down by political affiliation, the poll found that 24 percent of all government supporters and 71 percent of those who consider themselves the opposition want to emigrate.
"People don’t want to leave for political reasons. It's not that they hate the left or socialism," said Datincorp President Jesús Seguías. "It’s because quality of life has tanked."
From 1990 to 2015, the number of Venezuelans living abroad more than tripled from 185,282 to 606,344, according to the United Nations' Population Division. Venezuelan media, citing researchers, claim that as many as 1.6 million people might have left the country in the decade starting in 1999.
From 2005-2014, some 100,324 Venezuelans became legal residents in the United States — including 8,427 in that last year alone — according to the Department of Homeland Security.
In addition, the PEW Research Center said there were 248,000 Venezuelans living in the United States in 2013, and that 42 percent of them live in Florida.

F'n idiots.
Why don’t they move to Syria? There are a lot of empty homes there. All the occupants have gone to Germany on vacation.
Which is exactly why their quality of life has gone down the toilet!
There is no cure for stupid
“Wanting out” because you’re a dumbass who took the hook of free stuff socialism does not make one a “refugee”. Keep your cowardly asses home and FIGHT FOR YOUR OWN COUNTRY, MORONS! Don’t bring your socialist bull**** to my country and screw up mine!
Here they come........
“It’s not that they hate the left or socialism,” said Datincorp President Jesús Seguías. “It’s because quality of life has tanked.”
Why is so hard for people to understand that one leads to the other? Even after they have experienced it!
Don’t shoot till u see the whites of their eyes. Through a scope of course. ;-)
NO! You made your f***ing communist bed, so now you *LAY* in your communist bed.
Anyone so stupid as to support socialism will merely spread the contagion among uninfected areas if allowed to escape.
Wherever that 60% wind up going, I sure hope it isn’t here.
Come to America, thru Mexico if needed, moving toward socialism here and still a still lots of free shit, but you might want to see what happens in November.
If they can’t figure out why life has tanked, build walls to keep them in until they figure it out. Otherwise, they will just create the same misery wherever they are.
We can certainly find room for her!
That’s what I’m thinking.
They made the f***ing mess of their own country-so make every one of them stay and clean up the mess-they are certainly of no real use to any other place as long as they are this special kind of stupid...
You’re right. Here they come.

We will get some of them for sure after the UN declares it a humanitarian crisis and tells us are allotment.
The country is swimming in oil and should be the wealthiest by far in South America. Another baffling mystery for leftists.
