Colombia Welcomes Venezuelan Refugees With Open Arms: Will The U.S. Do The Same?
Colombian President Iván Duque won praise from the United Nations, Pope Francis and the Biden administration with his recent announcement that Colombia would welcome Venezuelan refugees with open arms — providing protected status, work permits and legal residency for up to 10 years.
President Duque tells NPR why he's hopeful the move will spur the U.S. toward more aggressive support of Venezuelan migrants, some of whom are currently protected by a deferred deportation order signed by President Trump on his final day in office.
Reporter John Otis explains what Colombia's new policy means to Venezuelans already living there.
