The government of Puerto Rico has begun, and is still holding "exploratory" talks, to see if there are "acceptable" circumstances for New York City and the local government that would allow Venezuelan citizens with undefined immigration status to join the reconstruction efforts.
Manuel Laboy, executive director of the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction and Resilience (COR3), confirmed that the possibility of attracting people from Venezuela who are increasingly arriving in cities such as New York in search of residency permits has been evaluated. He noted that the efforts had been made in coordination with the private sector.
Puerto Rico has lost half a million people since 2001 largely due to outmigration. These people were also generally the younger generation which has resulted in a cascading effect of lower birth rates with TFR approaching East Asian levels.
