Jorge Gutierrez leaps onto a packed bus in Colombia's capital, proudly announcing that he comes bearing gifts from neighboring Venezuela. An estimated 550,000 Venezuelans have migrated to Colombia, crossing a spottily policed 2,000-kilometer (1,242-mile) border. With few jobs to go around in Colombia, some Venezuelans sell sweets and arepas, a traditional corn bread. "In my hand I have 2,400 bolivars," Gutierrez shouts to the crowded bus, before talking about Venezuela's dire economy. Still, Colombian officials fear the mass migration of Venezuelans will take a toll on this country, which struggles to provide for its own people.
