On Biden, the GOP, and Venezuela

It might have been well-intentioned, but the Trump/Rubio plan to overthrow the Maduro government was a complete failure. It generated lots of misery and migrants without accomplishing its purpose.

Biden clearly plans to change the existing regime change policy, and with good reason. Leaving aside the fact that it wasn’t working, a policy of accommodation could lead to lower gas prices and fewer desperate illegal immigrants at the border.

You would think the GOP would support this–at least, the reduction in illegal immigration part. Don’t hold your breath. The Venezuelan immigrants the GOP says it despises are vehemently anti-socialist and have helped turn Florida red. The GOP will therefore continue to rant about illegal immigration, while profiting from it at the polls.
