Salgado Bustillos, Flavio; Díaz Lira, Marinelly

The research examines the links between migration policy, petroleum and migration with the aim of identifying the relevant milestones that shaped the phenomenon of migration in Venezuela during the 20th century. Regarding the methodology, first and secondary sources were reviewed, which included censuses, laws and press releases that were used to rebuild the historical context in which migratory flows took place. Among the main findings, it was verified that the Venezuelan State maintained a selective migration policy until 1999, since he never abandoned his aspiration to attract migrants from both Western and Eastern Europe, as reflected in the installation of the Presidential Commission for Selective Immigration, during the second government of Carlos Andrés Pérez as in the anti-Colombian discourse that characterized the official spokesperson during the second government of Rafael Caldera.
