The U.S. struggles to expel other nationalities due to costs, strained diplomatic relations and other considerations.
Venezuelans who successfully apply online will come to the United States through an airport, similar to an effort that began in April to admit up to 100,000 Ukrainians fleeing war for stays of up two years.
