#47 Venezuelans Tell GOP: “We Are Not Criminals!”

Rick Sanchez and show producer Scotty Mednick discuss a recent story reported on Fox News saying that the majority of the Venezuelan immigrants coming into the US are violent criminals that were taken out of prisons and sent to Texas and Florida by the Venezuelan government.  Sanchez and Mednick affirm that this story has no credible source and was simply used as a defense mechanism by the GOP after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis started receiving harsh criticism for exporting 50 Venezuelan immigrants to Massachusetts last month.  Sanchez then welcomes Venezuelan journalists Ana Flores and Luis Sucre to the show and they reveal that direct flights to the US from Venezuela don’t exist and that the actual journey that these immigrants must endure is long, arduous, and very dangerous.
