Republicans: "Congrats Venezuela, you are now America's 51st state! Go be Americans!"

Venezuela: "Okay, here are our two Democrat senators. K, thanks."

Republicans: "No! Not like that!!"

Hah. You assume that by annexing territory everyone living there gets naturalized. These ghouls would sooner repeat what's happening in Palestine.

The former Venezuelans will be declared illegal immigrants and deported to South Sudan.

two Democrat senators

They would elect two PSUV senators. It would be kinda cool to have two senators who would get up there and denounce Bernie Sanders as a reactionary.
