Making Venezuela a state means they could travel freely throughout the US, without restrictions. Tens of millions of them. It’s the dumbest thing this guy has said in a while really (maybe,) because as you say, his base would reject that strongly based on the mass migration.
I mean it could be argued venezuela is a US colony right now. I know the current court would not see it that way but realistically if the US says Venezuela and its president is subject to US laws that puts them in same position as guam or puerto rico.
I think there’s a good argument that since the beginning of this year Venezuelans are constitutionally US citizens.
