The number of Venezuelan immigrants of Indigenous origin increases and women with children resumed the practice of begging for alms by the traffic lights near the Fair of the \u201cPassar\u00e3o\u201d, in the city of Boa Vista. The Civil Defense of Roraima removed the immigrants from the places, because asking for alms with children is forbidden.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increasing number of immigrants arriving demands from us, as the Fraternidade, a more intense activity, an effort, to coordinate the welcome, the food provided, the health situations that present themselves\u201d, said Imer, a missionary of the Fraternidade.<\/p>\n

On Monday, 15, the last Venezuelan immigrants that were part of the list of those who must leave the place did leave the shelter. The decision was taken weeks before with the Civil Defense of Roraima, to preserve the order in the place. On the same day, hundreds of immigrants from Venezuela went to the headquarters of the Federal Police in Boa Vista to have documents made.<\/p>\n
