"We have talked about migration and migration as a consequence of the economic problems of many countries in Latin America. We have ratified our commitment to continue supporting, as we have done, the migration phenomenon, especially from Venezuela in Ecuador," he said.pressed Biden to take action to manage an expected wave of asylum seekers at America's southern border.
