They will no longer be stateless, babies without a country on the planet that recognizes them as citizens . From today, all children born in Colombia of Venezuelan mothers fleeing the misery of their country, will have Colombian nationality. They already add 24,000 because it has become a habitual practice that they cross the border and give birth in the neighboring nation to the lack of attention in their own homeland. And the problem for their parents is that many have left without a passport and the Chavista regime closed all consulates in Colombia.

According to figures from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, they have already practiced 32,236 deliveries and caesarean sections of Venezuelan women since March 2017 and through May of this year.

The measure also covers those who came to the world as of August 19, 2015 , when they began to grant them a civil registry so that they could attend them in all social services. But at that time, there was an annotation at the bottom of the document that indicated: "Not valid to prove nationality."

In addition to nationality, it cannot be forgotten that in Colombia there are 282,000 children from the neighboring country in the school system and the ICBF (Colombian Institute of Family Welfare) attends about 5,000 children daily.

The president stressed that despite having a per capita income of less than $ 8,000, lower than that of European countries with other migration crises, Colombia is willing to make a budgetary effort. And he launched a missile that seemed aimed at Donald Trump by stating that they teach a lesson to those who "want to make xenophobia a political path."

It should be noted that Colombia already hosts about 1.4 million Venezuelans and the migratory flow does not stop. Duke, who on Wednesday celebrates one year in the Presidency and has made the fight against the Maduro regime one of its axes of government, took advantage of the press conference at Casa Nariño this Monday morning (noon in Spain) to insist that the The international community must adopt "more forceful" measures to force the holding of free elections in Venezuela.
