I will not even mention our Venezuelan brothers, who already number 1 million immigrants here. I am convinced that many of them are exploited by capitalists who are enemies of the human species. It is necessary to increase the number of inspectors fivefold so that we can free our brothers and severely punish those who degrade human life.
