4/ Look three steps ahead.

Now that the U.S. has triggered an "international armed conflict," Venezuelan nationals residing in the USA are "protected persons" under Geneva Convention IV.

Several significant legal implications flow from that. ...
A suite of protections also kicks in for other civilians who are nationals of one party to the conflict and find themselves in the hands of the adverse State. Accordingly, Venezuelans in the United States are now “protected persons” under the Fourth Geneva Convention, as are Americans inside Venezuela. This has far-ranging implications for U.S. immigration and related policies. For example, Venezuelans who are protected persons have rights including protection against “brutality” (GC IV art. 32), against collective punishment and reprisals (GC IV art. 33); parity of employment opportunities (GC IV art. 39), rules for return of detainees transferred to a third State as in CECOT/El Salvador (GC IV art. 45), and family unity in detention (GC IV art. 82).

And measles causes immune amnesia that likely explains a significant portion of cases of other childhood diseases.

Plus 1 in 5000 people who contract measles will die a decade later of incurable encephalitis caused by that infection.

I got a lady in Portland's Nordstrom receipts and her kids PTA notices. Who knows what she got of mine.
