Biden to roll out plan for Venezuelan migrants

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed it will roll out a new program geared toward Venezuelan migrants seeking to come to the US. It's similar to the approach the administration took toward Ukrainians earlier this year. They must apply, have a sponsor in the US, and undergo screening and vetting. There are also vaccination requirements. According to DHS, up to 24,000 Venezuelans will be accepted. Those who cross the border unlawfully will be returned to Mexico. DHS says in August, more than 55,000 migrants encountered at the border were from Venezuela, Cuba or Nicaragua That's a 175% increase from last August.
