JUAREZ, MEXICO — Venezuelans are one of the highest-volume immigrant nationalities to have crossed the southern border during this historic mass-migration crisis, now in its third year, with five million foreign-national border crossers in the country.

All Venezuelans have been or will be let into America to stay on asylum or humanitarian claims that presume they are directly fleeing Venezuelan government persecution or face some other imminent danger back home.

But that widespread narrative is largely a fable.

Most Venezuelan border-crossers have been living for years, safely, happily and prosperously in other countries.
