Description: “Juan,” a Venezuela national, is legally in the United States on a tourist visa—for now. For Juan, going back home to Venezuela is not an option. If he can’t figure out a way to change his status in the U.S. to a more permanent one, he might soon be one of the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have overstayed their visas. Official data shows that visa overstays far exceed unauthorized border crossings, even as the Trump administration continues to push for billions to build a wall on the southern border with Mexico to curb illegal immigration. * SUBSCRIBE to NBC LEFT FIELD: nbcnews.to/2rAQzwx * Watch the latest from NBC LEFT FIELD: youtube.com/watch?v=R8tG3hlHcPg&list=PLmWVE4PP8w5Urph0JyLjmQInFXxtgOMBT What is NBC LEFT FIELD? youtube.com/watch?v=5yh0j6zMWCI&list=PLmWVE4PP8w5UEOKp7cxAEqxNgaZ8EUSDs FOLLOW NBC LEFT FIELD: Facebook: nbcnews.to/2rACLSM Instagram: nbcnews.to/2rAsQwp Twitter: nbcnews.to/2rAsWUN VISIT OUR SITE: nbcleftfield.com Visual journalist Carlos P.
