won't be going down anytime soon. venezuelans are leaving there by the
plane-load. i have seen a jump in the number of venezuelans coming to my
office looking for help (immigration attorney).
lots of them are getting married, in order to stay here in the country.
don't doubt we'll see some sort of "temporary protected status" for them,
like we saw for hondurans and nicaraguans during the 80's, when their
governments were leftist states.

BARCELONA, VENEZUELA -- President Hugo Chavez's government took over
Venezuela's last privately run oil fields Tuesday, intensifying a power
struggle with international companies over the world's largest known single
petroleum deposit.
Newly bought Russian-made fighter jets streaked through the sky as Chavez
shouted "Down with the U.S. empire!" to thousands of red-clad oil workers,
calling the state takeover a historic victory for Venezuela after years of
U.S.-backed corporate exploitation.
Chavez accused foreign oil companies of bad drilling practices due to their
hunger for quick profits and said Venezuela could sue them for causing
lasting
damage to oil fields.
BP PLC, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., France's Total SA
and
Norway's Statoil ASA remain locked in a struggle with the Chavez government
over the terms and conditions under which they will be allowed to stay on as
minority partners.
