US Vice President Mike Pence thanked Brazil today for welcoming Venezuelans fleeing their country's collapse, while warning Central Americans running from violence in their homelands not to attempt to enter the United States illegally.

Pence announced that the United States will provide nearly USD 10 million more to support Venezuelan migrants, including USD 1.2 million that will go to Brazil, but he urged Central Americans to "build your lives in your homeland."
Temer told reporters that he asked for Pence's "special attention to secure the rapid reunification of families."
"Venezuela's collapse is creating a humanitarian crisis leading to widespread deprivation, the denial of basic services and starvation," Pence said. "It has spurred the largest cross-border mass exodus in the history of our hemisphere."
