Brazil sending troops to Venezuelan border amid massive refugee influx
Venezuela is another Socialist failure, as all socialist states are, because they deny hard workers the fruits of their labor, thereby removing the incentive to work harder. Now that economic collapse has arrived, thousands of Venezuelans are starting to flee their
country. Brazil has its own socialist problems developing, so they will be sent back. Viva la Revolucion! From Russia Today:
Brazil sending troops to Venezuelan border amid massive refugee influx
"The Brazilian President has ordered the army to be deployed to the borderline state of Roraima shortly after clashes broke out between the locals and Venezuelans fleeing their country's economic and political problems.
In a statement on Tuesday, Brazil's President Michel Temer said that the military deployment he authorized on Tuesday is aimed at ensuring the security of both Brazilians and Venezuelan refugees, who have been pouring into one of the Brazil's poorest and least populated states en masse.
The government of Roraima, Brazil's northernmost state, has long urged federal authorities to stem the migrant flow overwhelming the small town of Pacaraima with a population of some 12,000.
An estimated 1,000 Venezuelan refugees were forced to sleep on the streets when a local storeowner was attacked in mid-August, in an incident blamed on foreigners. It sparked violent skirmishes that saw angry locals setting refugees' belongings on fire and throwing rocks at them. Several shots were fired during the altercation, and over 1,200 migrants were forced to cross the border back to Venezuela."
