With the move, the Dominican Republic follows Ecuador, Chile and Peru, which have all imposed new travel restrictions on Venezuelans in 2019.

The United Nations estimates that more than 4.6 million Venezuelans have left the country in recent years and have warned that the number could exceed 6.5 million by the end of 2020.

1. That's a shame. I support migration as a Right Of Survival for all earth's humans and creatures.

Earlier today I read an article explaining how climate change was resulting in migrations that are overwhelming and concerning many countries. I can now start a list of Causes Of Migration and add
