As I’ve noted many times before, the problem with Venezuelan refugees was largely the result of the unsuccessful effort by Trump and Rubio to get rid of Maduro. Having used the refugee issue to batter Biden, Trump now has to resolve it himself. Could he do it with an agreement in which Maduro agrees to accept millions of Venezuelan deportees in exchange for a promise not to engage in regime change?
Any such agreement would be heartless, cynical, and disgraceful. It would be a huge embarrassment to Rubio, and it would cost the GOP votes in Florida. But if Trump’s overriding objective is to deport people, it could be done.
Don’t be surprised if it happens.
