Another Piece to the Puzzle

This explains some of the illegal flood:

• Venezuelan electoral authorities on Sunday claimed that 95 percent of voters in a nonbinding referendum approved of the nation's territorial claim on a huge chunk of neighboring oil-rich Guyana.

  President Nicolas Maduro hailed what he called "an overwhelming victory for the 'Yes' throughout Venezuela."

  "We have taken the first steps of a new historic stage in the struggle for what belongs to us, to recover what the liberators left us," he said.

  The referendum raised fears in Guyana, and around the region, about Venezuela's ultimate intentions over the contested territory.

You know who has the largest proven oil reserves in existence? It ain't the Saudis:

• Venezuela

Now, the Saudi's have a lot more oil closer to the surface and it's the highly desirable "light sweet crude," but Venezuela has more actual oil. It just takes a bit of effort to get it out. Due to the current ruling dictatorship and nationalization of the oil industry, they have to import gasoline and few if any companies want to spend the money there when the government will then steal the equipment and oil.

But Guyana has oil that's easier to extract and Venezuela wants it. 

To get it, you need an army. An army needs bodies. 

And how many bodies are currently in blue city shelters, hotels and police stations?
