Several congressmen from Florida proposed creating a special immigrating status for Venezuelans living in the U.S. "The (immigration plan) we are asking for is issued for political reasons, where there is a disaster in a country,” said Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart about the plan that would permit recipients to apply for work permits and live in the U.S. legally.
Meanwhile, private land seizures started yesterday in Venezuela as part of the government’s land reform program. Sixteen large farms totaling over 815,000 acres of land will become “collective property” according to President Hugo Chavez during his television program on Sunday (image).
