More Venezuelans Will Attempt To Leave Country, Doral's Mayor Says

With Hugo Chavez’s health and the political situation in Venezuela uncertain, will more Venezuelans be coming to Doral or South Florida? Perhaps, Elena Poleo said. “I have spoken to several friends and family members who have inquired about being able to move here if things get violent or uncertainty continues,” she said. Doral Mayor Luigi Boria said he expects more Venezuelans will attempt to escape the country, especially because of Chavez’s recent re-election victory. “Once they know that Chavez won, you know, now all the people who don’t like that kind of regime, they want to come to this country,” he said.
