Venezuelan Migrants Faced Dangerous Journey To Flee Country

Migrants in NYC face challenges with the welfare system and language barriers, especially in enrolling children in schools. Personal stories highlight the difficult journeys from Venezuela and the dangers faced, such as crossing the Darién Gap. The NYC Department of Education has launched Project Open Arms to support these families, but more efforts are needed. The political context includes Texas Governor Abbott's busing of migrants to NYC as a protest against federal policies. The asylum process is complex, with migrants needing to wait for work permits. Despite hardships, migrants are determined to provide better futures for their children.
