An immigrant wave from down south?
This might actually be their loss, our gain.
If you recall, the Cuban immigration wave was extremely positive for our country, bringing with it well-educated and committed people.
Sounds like the same thing might be happening in Venezuela.

I can imagine the hysteria from Michelle Malkin now.
Plus, there is this matter of the Monroe Doctrine.
Excellent point. The Sandinastas have taken Nicaragua again. Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, and even Chile is lurching to the left. Peru and Columbia are under extreme duress from Chavez, Castro, and the Chicomms. A lot of South Americans are on their way here
My in-laws escaped from Cuba in the late 60's. They are extremely hardworking, honest, family oriented and staunchly anti-communist. They raised two wonderful children (including my wife)who became very successful. In fact, my Brother-in-law is a Wharton grad.
Eventually cream rises to the top. The ambitous people will leave their communist hellholes or die trying, thereby leaving the less desirable behind. America will always have the best and brightest immigrants for the most part.
You do not live in Miami do you?
I beg to differ. Check this out. Free registration is required, but it's worth it to read the following article. I have been keeping a close eye on MS-13 and like gangs, and these are not positive for the country. Clearly, we have a problem. It is also of concern that AQ & OBL are reaching out to these elements ...
Gang leader in custody, officals say
By Dave Montgomery
Star-Telegram Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON - The arrest in South Texas of a man reputed to be a Honduran gang lord known as "El Culiche" -- the Tapeworm -- is intensifying law enforcement concerns about the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, a Central American gang that authorities believe is spreading its operations throughout much of the United States.
Here's a quick excerpt:
"Ever Anibal Rivera Paz, suspected as the mastermind of a December bus attack in Honduras that killed 28 people, was being held in a South Texas detention unit Thursday; authorities arrested him Feb. 10 about 110 miles north of the Texas-Mexico border, saying he was sneaking into the United States with a group of illegal immigrants.
Authorities identified Rivera Paz by his multiple tattoos, a trademark of Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13. Born out of the civil wars that racked Central America in the early 1980s, the gang has become international in scope and poses a growing threat to U.S. law enforcement officers...."
