The Express newspaper editorial of June 22, 2019 has wrongly stated that Venezuelan migrants under the age of 18 were excluded from the recently concluded registration process.
This is incorrect and requires immediate correction as being inaccurate.
Every single Venezuelan who presented at the registration centers from May 31 to June 14, 2019 was registered, including children.
It is disturbing and shocking that suddenly the Express editorial would state that Venezuelans under the age of 18 were not registered. Quite simply, this is not true.
