So why is the agency planning to spend another $100 million on a recruitment push targeting gun shows, colleges, Nascar races, and military bases?

It’s actually safe to say that US probably will not accept any Venezuelan president who doesn’t explicitly promise to collaborate with its persecution of Venezuelans in America
No one knows what will happen from here, and we hope for the best, but it’s shocking to have violently overthrown a government and invaded a country explicitly vowing to not only take no displaced persons or refugees but send those already here back no matter how bad it gets.
