The central question guiding the study is: what are the humanitarian implications of Venezuelan immigrants of migration policies in Colombia and Peru since the 2015 economic crisis in Venezuela? The research has been carried out through the analysis of academic literature, media articles, government documents from migration departments, law and migration journals, and finally reports from international organizations involved in migration. The increase in the Venezuelan migratory flow and the successive problems that have arisen due to the margins of interpretation in the initial migration policy led to a lack of protection among Venezuelan migrants. However, the application of the new exceptional measures destined for the Venezuelan migrants has a more humanitarian element, but with a protectionist design. This again led to lack of protection and irregular immigration status, but on a lesser scale.Show less
