Venezuelan Border Town Swells With Internal Migrants

Associated Press

   SAN ANTONIO, VENEZUELA - Midday is approaching and the bus terminal in
   this border town is in a frenzy.

   Merchants heading for the center of Venezuela hop on buses and load
   them with sacks of rice, boxes of medicine, cartons of toothpaste and
   even car tires that they bought in neighboring Colombia. On the
   arrivals side, exhausted travelers descend from buses and make their
   way toward the border, where they will shop for food or get their
   passports stamped to leave Venezuela for good.
