Colombia

Colombia's president has unveiled a program to let undocumented Venezuelan migrants live and work legally in the country for up to 10 years. Nearly a million Venezuelans in Colombia lack legal status.

Last week, Colombia finally began its rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine — making it among the last in Latin America to do so, even though it’s one of the region’s largest countries.

Due to limited resources, delayed start-ups, chronic shortages — and official scandals — only a fraction of Latin America and the Caribbean has been inoculated.

The move will allow migrants to work legally in Colombia, obtain 10-year residence permits and access social services including healthcare and COVID-19 vaccines.

Colombia will register hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants and refugees who are currently living in the country without papers in a bid to provide them with legal residence permits and facilitate their access to health care and legal employment opportunities.

The death of Colombia's defense minister, plus a presidential infection in Mexico and a ministerial investigation in Brazil deepen the region's gloom.

The buñuelo, in fact, is one of the most popular Christmas foods not just for Colombians but a number of Latin American cultures. And yet outside the Latino community – even in South Florida – it’s generally unknown.

The court overturned a Justice Department decision denying the asylum of a former Colombia police officer who received multiple death threats from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

The strongest storms ever to form so late, and so far south, in the Caribbean could force us to revise our expectations about hurricanes in this part of the world.

COMMENTARY It's right for expats to urge a president to sanction repressive regimes. But it's dangerous for him to be their petty partisan surrogate back home.

U.S. presidential candidates rarely if ever publish commentaries abroad — but Joe Biden may have seen a particular urgency in reaching out to Colombians.

Naming streets and facilities after people who are still alive has a mixed history in South Florida.
