"Each day, a set number will enter to organize better these entries." The back-and-forth came as Temer toughened his criticism of Venezuela, calling the humanitarian crisis there "unacceptable." The situation in Roraima state, where most Venezuelans enter Brazil, has also become increasingly difficult, and Temer decided Tuesday to deploy military troops there. Since 2014, an estimated 2.3 million Venezuelans have fled their country's growing humanitarian crisis, including shortages of food and medicine, according to the United Nations. In response to the influx, several countries have tightened entry requirements recently but Brazil has so far resisted such measures.
