A fourth bus carrying migrants from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C., Saturday carrying fewer than 10 migrants fleeing Venezuela’s capital city, Caracas.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, a 23-year-old asylum seeker who asked to remain anonymous said he was fleeing poverty in an attempt to provide more for his family back home.
"There's not just one simple reason for somebody to leave their country and come here," the migrant told Fox News Digital through a translator."Because of the corruption and because of the really high food prices in Venezuela right now," he was motivated to make the journey north to the U.S. to find work.
"It's taking away my ability to dream for my son," he said, as he became emotional describing how many in Venezuela are forced to cross the border into Colombia just to buy food. The 23-year-old and his friend agreed to continue the journey together in an attempt to make it to their final destination in Miami, where he has friends and family already.
