Thousands Are Fleeing Venezuela Amid Economic Collapse

Employees assist customers at a currency exchange location in Cucuta, Colombia, on Monday, Sept. 18, 2017. For weeks, Venezuelans have been flocking by the busload to San Antonio del Tachira, a border town of some 62,000 residents, fleeing as President Nicolas Maduro consolidates autocratic power. According to Colombia's migration authority, the number of foreigners entering Cucuta, the first major city across the bridge, more than doubled this summer.
