To beat socialism, President Trump should grant Venezuelans Temporary Protected Status
Washington Examiner ^ | 08-18-19 | Daniel Di Martino

The United States is working to help end Venezuela’s suffering under socialism. Earlier this month, President Trump imposed an embargo on Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime, and last month the House of Representatives voted to grant Temporary Protected Status to Venezuelans in the U.S. Most of those voting in favor of TPS were Democrats, and unfortunately, most Republicans opposed the measure. The GOP is looking at this issue all wrong. Of course, it’s true that Democrats are pushing for TPS to gain popularity with Venezuelan Americans frightened by their increasingly socialist rhetoric. But, for Republicans, supporting TPS for Venezuelans is really a chance to fight against the socialist movement.

The USA has benefited greatly from two groups of refugees to which we have granted haven, the Cubans and the Vietnamese. Both have assimilated well into the economy because they come from places where the government was a very unpleasant entity. Both groups also have some unpleasant memories of the previous governments and are focused away from government as the solution to anything. Both groups have generally shunned welfare. The Venezuelans might well be the same sort of people. Unfortunately their grandchildren have assimilated too well, having gone to our Communist universities, and many of that generation are Democrats but not yet more than a small minority.

First gen ok, second gen partly, 3rd gen is reverting to form.

Now Cuba had communism forced, so the first gen knew from experience. The rest of South America voted it in.

No such thing as temporary status or temporary government program. It just gives them time to make plenty of anchor babies.

And you’re right, by 3rd generation they don’t want to hear about the horrors of the past and they become “progressive”
