Over the last year an unprecedented wave of Venezuelan immigrants flooded the US-Mexico border
prompting talk of a new migrant crisis. The Venezuelan migration to the US is part of the largest such
exodus in the history of the Americas. The scale and scope of the Venezuelan migration crisis raises

between 2019 and the present by the authors with Venezuelan migrants in Colombia, Mexico, and the
United States. Combining these primary sources with other available academic and media-based
publications,
