The situation is dire. We've already seen 7 million Venezuelans who have left that country in the past few years. When I was in Congress, I led an effort to send humanitarian aid, not only to Venezuelans in the country, but also to the neighboring countries that were receiving that diaspora that was leaving. This is a situation that affects not only Venezuela, this is a situation, really, that affects democracies in Latin America. It also threatens our national security here in the United States, and I think that is why this is such an important issue that I want to make sure the entire country pays attention to.
