The future of rat control here is Venezuela. Although the rats will never seize the kind of dictatorial powers that Chavez has, their policies will have a simillar impact. Many wealthy have already fled. Many more wealthy will flee in the next 10 to 15 years after the rats gain firm control and the full impact of their policies is known.

I wonder if these are the same people who voted for Chavez in the first place.
And now they're coming here. Like Liberals screwing up a city, then moving
because they can't afford it and starting over in another.

The best and the brightest are fleeing Venezuela.

Thsi is a colossal blunder on the socialists’ part, driving away incalulable riches in human capital: the entrepreneurs, the technicians, the professionals, the scientists, the doctors.

But hey, their loss. Welcome to Freedom, my Venezuelan brothers and sisters!

Just don’t flee to Cuba or California. They want to go to a free country!

We should be agressively wooing their petroleum and natural gas engineers. And, uh, pageant contestants.

We welcome you, defenseless Venezuelan refugees, to the embracing hug of liberty.

Or at least to MY embracing hug.

Someone should interview that Stalin-wannabe Sean Penn and get his reaction.

Good going, Chavez, you idiot. Leftists, particularly Leftist dictators like Chavez, always are a degenerative force on the countries they rule.

Does that sound like Kalifornians who fled their utopian paradise and began immediately to screw up Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, etc?

Nah, I didn’t think so either.

Or Lebanese, Italian, Portuguese, Croatian,French. Remember that the white population of Venezuela is multi-ethnic.

That being said, most of the Venezuelans in South Florida are white collar. They don't call Weston "Westonzuela" for nothing.
