[PanamaNewb]

Before the recent waves of Venezuelan immigrants, most discussions I've seen about the topic was related to preserving the jungle, but some people for sure made snarky comments about keeping colombian gangsters out.

Nowadays, most of the attention are definitely on the Venezuelan immigrants that come to Panama without much money or much of a plan.

But if the government signed a deal to construct a highway, I predict it would be mostly environmentalists protesting in the street than xenophobes.
