PANAMA CITY: Panama’s president on Monday predicted an increase in the number of US-bound Venezuelan migrants making the dangerous jungle trek from South America after their country’s disputed election. “I think, and I hope I’m wrong, that the flow of Venezuelans will increase for obvious reasons,” Jose Raul Mulino told a news conference. “We have to make the necessary decisions to protect their lives... and give expedited passage to people who want to immigrate to the United States,” he added.
