If the UN actually had any utility at all, this is the kind of situation they should address, this is an actual refugee crisis, not just a voluntary economic move.

The countries neighboring Venezuela have tightened border measures as unrest reaches a tipping a point and people flee the starving socialist nation, reports CNN.
Peru and Ecuador have enacted new rules to help curtail the mass immigration from Venezuela. The influx of migrants leaving Venezuela has also led to mob violence in the case of Brazil, where it has gotten so chaotic in border regions that the Brazilian state of Roraima has asked the Government to halt Venezuelan immigration completely, Reuters reports.
“We are immensely worried about the consequences this might present,” said Colombian Migration Director Christian Kruger, commenting on the restrictive Border measures taken against Venezuelan migrants by neighboring South American countries, warning that the measure will create congestion at border checkpoints, AP reports.
Severe Economic strife in Venezuela has made it an unlivable country. Much of the socialist country’s 31 million population faces starvation and gang violence due to economic downturn. Many Venezuelans have emigrated to escape these circumstances. According to the United Nations, over 2.3 million Venezuelans have fled the country in the past 4 years.
