Curious why they have police on motorbikes near the 'front' line? I would have thought a mass of foot-mobile police with shields/batons would be the norm, supported by the cars?

Colombia was the country that most Venezuelans received (more than one million), followed by Peru, with more than 500 thousand; and later Ecuador (220 thousand). Here at least 130 thousand Venezuelans were received, most are professionals (doctors for example) and are between 26 and 44 years old.
