Thousands of Venezuelan migrants are queuing at the main Ecuador-Peru crossing point in Tumbes The UN's migration agency says Venezuela is heading for the same refugee "crisis moment" seen in the Mediterranean in 2015. The warning comes as its neighbours try to halt the movement of people fleeing Venezuela's economic crisis. Peru brought in stricter border regulations on Saturday - a day after a court overturned Ecuador's attempt to strengthen its own controls. More than two million Venezuelans have fled their country since 2014. They are fleeing a dire economic situation, with Venezuelans facing shortages of food, medicine and basic goods. Dash to the Peruvian border Hundreds of Venezuelans were bussed through Ecuador to the Peruvian border before the midnight deadline on Friday. ......
Joel Millman, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration (IOM), said that all this - "This is building to a crisis moment that we've seen in other parts of the world, particularly in the Mediterranean," he told reporters. "A difficult situation can become a crisis situation very quickly and we have to be prepared," he added.
However, Chiara Cardoletti of the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR), said other countries in the region had welcomed Venezuelans and were helping to "avoid a situation like the one we have seen in Europe". "What we are seeing is a continent that has opened its doors to people who are fleeing and who need support," she said. Ms Cardoletti added that Colombia had registered more than 450,000 Venezuelans and given them regular status. The UN says more than 870,000 Venezuelans are in Colombia, many of them in vulnerable situations. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is to set up a special UN team to co-ordinate a regional response to the crisis, while Ecuador is to host a 13-nation regional summit in September.

Wouldn’t these crisis’s be solved easier to just knock off the bad guys?
In Africa we put thousands in camps to protect them from the bad guys. Now we have 10X the people in camps and the bad guys are still out there.
Just keep them away from here. We don’t need more Rat voters.
Another socialism success story. Chavez’s daughter becomes the wealthiest person in the country and the rest of them flee for the borders as they are starving.
Michael Moore and the usual cast of characters have been awfully quiet lately about this topic. I wonder why?

No capitalist country has ever prevented people from leaving. Only socialism requires the construction of walls to keep people in. That is all you need to know. An economics degree from Boston University will not give you a deeper insight.
“UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is to set up a special UN team..”
A special forces team to visit nicolas maduro?
BLAH ,this just the Fake News BBC again
Feed and arm all the male refugees between the ages of eighteen and forty, house, feed, and well treat their accompanying family members, provide air cover and a list of all of Maduro’s thugs and send them back across the borders. Sort of a Bay of Pigs done right, by a president who isn’t too chicken s*** to follow through. Let them kill every single Communist they can find, the people who turned the richest country in South America into a starving hellhole.
China’s goal with their backing, I imagine.
Racist bastards! /s

Too bad the UN didn’t denounce Venezuela’s leftist corrupt government, either now or back before they caused this crisis.
What does the old white commie and the young buck tooth bug eyes socialist say about this?
The case, though, isn't as good as it might have been - the Beeb is portraying this as somehow comparable to the deliberate migration from Africa to the EU across the Mediterranean. It isn't. These are first-world people whose country has been turned into a third-world hellhole in the course of a single generation, by ham-handed revolutionary socialist excess and people too stupid to know that if you wreck something to cut it up, it's gone.
Global Catastrophe! Venezuela migration nears the Mediterranean ...
So basically you turn your own country to crap for free stuff, then you move on to other countries and do the same thing until you finally land illegally in the U.S. where the progressive make it a point to give you free stuff. Is that it, did I get the gist of it?

Ah, the joys of socialism...you can see how beloved it is...by the number of people fleeing it.
You have distilled it down to the essential points.
The whole point is that these countries all turn their homes in to sh!tholes, and then they flee and do the same to their new host. While I have a certain sympathy for their plight, they need to stay there and fix it.
They are heading in the wrong direction. Turn around and head for the Presidential Palace. In an age when men were men this is what would have happened.
And they never state why these people are fleeing....communism!
