FYI: https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/09/18/venezuela-extrajudicial-killings-poor-areas

And, per a Honduran friend (who, before you jump to conclusions, is staying in Honduras and not illegally immigrating), it isn’t just the poor areas getting extrajudicial killings. Apparently the regime is slowly and sporadically working their way down the list of the remaining people in the country that were opposed to Chavism... or even were part of the groups that kept the country running under the prior administration but who are now “not performing their patriotic duty and working for the people of Venezuela instead of the capitalists” - especially including the former oil field workers that were there.

Again, that is only a fraction of the millions of people showing up at the border claiming asylum.

The Biden administration is saying that they need the bill in Congress to be passed because they need many more agents to process asylum seekers into the United States.

You're not going to convince me that Biden needs Congress to pass his bill to get more asylum processors because of Venezuelan and Honduran killings. Those are a tiny fraction of the mass of people invading the border claiming asylum.
