“”We have seen that every time there is an electoral event in Venezuela, there is a corresponding increase in the exodus of Venezuelans to Florida,” said Carlos Antonio Suarez, an attorney with the Orlando office of Arias Tovar & Associates, a Venezuelan law firm that works on immigration issues. “The majority of Venezuelans come in as tourists, and then they seek some way to get a status adjustment.”

More, Suarez said, are seeking political asylum after they enter the United States through legal but temporary means. Some become undocumented immigrants”
