Venezuelans are just a practice run.

Forget about presidential immunity. Hand him over to the international Criminal Court, just as we did with GW Bush for his war crimes in Iraq.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.

And for every 1 smuggler that is killed, many more make it safely.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
