(2,112 posts)Me: Is Venezuela mentioned in Project 2025?
GG:
The country of Venezuela **is mentioned** in the Project 2025 policy book, *Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise*.
It is typically referenced in the context of foreign policy, border security, and immigration proposals, particularly regarding the use of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and migration from the country.
One key theme connected to Project 2025's approach to Venezuela is a hardened stance against the regime, which aligns with the plan's broader goals to implement a more assertive and nationalist foreign policy. The Project's overall immigration proposals include mass deportations and stricter border control measures, which would directly affect the millions of Venezuelan migrants who have fled the country's humanitarian crisis.
While the full text of the policy document is very long, reporting and analysis of *Mandate for Leadership* confirm that Venezuelan-related issues are part of the policy recommendations.
* **Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
* One proposal closely associated with the Project 2025 network and already pursued in the current administration is the termination of TPS for Venezuelans.
* **Foreign Policy/Security
* The policy framework advocates for a strong posture against the government of Nicolás Maduro, tying the country's situation to issues of drug trafficking and border security.
