"For the children of Venezuelan parents born here to get Colombian citizenship, they are required to have a regular (migration) status, they must have a visa, and they must show an established residency. And it's well known that most of the Venezuelan migrants arriving here come without an established residency, they don't have a regular status, and that they are practically refugees."

"The risk is precisely that there will be children without any nationality, children who are stateless. A stateless person is someone without the protection of any state. And while it's true that Colombia has made an effort to grant the same rights, even to those without citizenship, we are facing the prospect of a group of children who will grow up – adolescents, adults – who live in Colombian territory and don't have a country to protect them."

STORYLINE:
Arelys Pulido had already lost one baby in a neglected Venezuelan hospital where doctors and medical gear are in increasingly short supply, so when she became pregnant again she decided that she would give birth in a foreign land.
She packed suitcases filled with clothes and a few prized ceramic statues of saints that she hoped would grant her and her unborn child protection as they passed through one of the perilous illegal crossings into Colombia.
Earlier this year, Zuleidys Antonella Primera was born, a lively girl with dark hair and eyes bearing no hint of the odyssey her mother went through in order to deliver her in a hospital across the border in the city of Cúcuta.
Yet little Zuleidys so far has neither the citizenship of the country her parents fled nor that of the nation where she was born.
She is one of a growing number of children born to undocumented Venezuelan migrants in Colombia who have been left essentially stateless.
"It's one more thing to worry about," said Jose Antonio Primera, the baby's father, a former military officer who now paints motorcycles for a living.
While the children born to migrants qualify for Venezuelan citizenship, they would need to formally register at a consulate or travel to Venezuela to obtain it.
Both options are out of the question for many families. They do not want to return until conditions improve and consulates are closed after President Nicolás Maduro severed diplomatic relations with Colombia in February.
Colombia's government grants the newborns full health care during the first year of life and allows them to enroll in school, but experts on statelessness fear that if Venezuela's crisis drags on for years, they could approach adulthood without key rights such as the ability to travel legally, buy property, or get married.
Colombia's National Civil Registry counts at least 3,290 children born since December 2017 who have been unable to obtain citizenship, though rights groups contend the numbers could be as high as 25,000.
Even by the lowest count, advocates say the number of children at risk of statelessness now living in Colombia is worrisome.
Nearly 1.3 million Venezuelans now reside in Colombia, about 40% of whom are in the country without any legal status.
Colombia has received more Venezuelan migrants than any other nation, and the numbers are not expected to dip any time soon. Even with the border between the neighboring countries officially closed, thousands stream into Colombia each day using the same dirt roads that Pulido crossed while pregnant.
Colombia's constitution only offers birthright citizenship to children who have at least one Colombian parent or a mother or father who can prove legal residency based on visa status.
Many Venezuelan arrivals do not have a passport, let alone a visa. A temporary, two-year visa that Colombia's government has provided as a stopgap measure to nearly 600,000 Venezuelans does not qualify babies for citizenship.
That has left many babies in a legal limbo.
Colombian officials say it's Venezuela's fault that a new generation of children born abroad are virtually statelessness, but they are working on finding a remedy.
A government proposal in the works would allow any Venezuelan child born in Colombia since the current exodus began in August 2015 to qualify for citizenship and is expected to be approved in the weeks ahead while legislators are considering a similar bill in congress.
Statelessness first became an international concern between World War I and World War II as the population of those fleeing persecution or excluded from nationality laws rose, said David Baluarte, an expert on statelessness at Washington and Lee University.
The issue caused heightened alarm during World War II when Jews were stripped of their citizenship in Nazi Germany before being sent to concentration camps.
Two United Nations treaties were created protecting the right to citizenship, but today an estimated 10 to 15 million people around the globe are considered stateless.
Experts on statelessness say the onus is on Colombia to rectify the status of Venezuelan children born on its territory.
When born in Colombia, the children are given a birth certificate, but it clearly states at the bottom, "Not valid for nationality."
At the Erasmo Meoz University Hospital in the border city of Cúcuta, parents clutching newborns stand outside a registry office, eager to ink their children's feet and obtain their official birth record, only to find out the country isn't granting them citizenship.
"The normal thing to do would be for them to all get Colombian citizenship," said Eduardo Bravo, a former police officer, while bouncing his infant daughter in his arms.
"We aren't here in Colombia because we want to be. It's out of necessity."
Pulido, 44, first crossed the border into Colombia four months into her pregnancy for ultrasounds she couldn't get in her home country.
The journey on foot and over a river on a makeshift canoe wore on her, as did painful memories of her last pregnancy: The child died during childbirth after a usually minor complication.
Pulido blames that on Venezuela's worsening humanitarian crisis.
At eight months pregnant, she packed her bags and left for good.
On a recent afternoon, Pulido and her husband Primera examined the piece of white paper with their daughter's tiny black footprints provided by the hospital.
They were at a loss of how to interpret it, at once happy but also confused.
The couple said they didn't care so much about whether Zuleidys grows up Colombian or Venezuelan so long as one of those two countries recognizes her.
"As long as she has rights like any other human being, as a citizen," Primera said.
