Almost one in four Venezuelans has been assaulted, and about 50% have had property or money stolen — two of the many stats that have led the country to be named most dangerous in the world by Gallup’s Law and Order Index for several years running.

Yet Venezuela, where only 17% of people said they feel safe walking alone at night, is telling its citizens to think twice about coming to America.

The Venezuelan government released a statement on Monday suggesting that its citizens “postpone travel to the U.S. in the face of recent violence,” citing the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton that killed 31 people and wounded dozens more over the weekend.

The 255 mass shootings across the U.S. so far in 2019 have outpaced the number of days so far this year, as reported by CBS News, including five incidents in the past eight days in which more than 100 people have been shot. And the Venezuelan government cited these “growing acts of violence” in its travel warning.

“These growing acts of violence have found echo and sustenance in the speeches and actions impregnated with racial discrimination and hatred against migrant populations, pronounced and executed from the supremacist elite who hold political power in Washington,” reads the advisory.

It also calls out 10 cities that a recent Forbes article listed as being the most dangerous in America, including Cleveland; Detroit; Baltimore; St. Louis; Oakland, Calif.; Memphis, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; Atlanta; Stockton, Calif.; and Buffalo, N.Y.

The Uruguayan government posted a similar press release the same day that warned of “growing indiscriminate violence, mostly for hate crimes, including racism and discrimination.” And it cited the “impossibility of the authorities to prevent these situations,” due to “the indiscriminate possession of firearms by the population.” It also warned any Uruguayan citizens venturing into the U.S. to stay safe by avoiding the following places: theme parks, shopping centers, art and food festivals, religious activities and “any kind of cultural or sporting events.”

Compared with Venezuela’s last-place ranking out of the 142 countries in the Gallup Law and Order Index, the U.S. comes in at No. 35 most secure. The No. 1 most secure country was Singapore, followed by Iceland, Finland and Uzbekistan. For its part, Uruguay came in at No. 96.

Both nations have appeared on U.S. advisory lists, with Uruguay listed as a “Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution” destination due to violent crimes, and Venezuela flagged as “Level 4: Do Not Travel” destination due to crime and civil unrest, as well as the arbitrary arrest and detention of American citizens.

Yet many on social media didn’t blame the nations for slapping the U.S. with similar travel warnings in return.
