For one, immigrants are not representative of their country, they are so biased that they left.
But i think the opinion of venezuelans has leaked and it s pretty obvious his regime is not popular at home

That's close to 20% of their population. And the most relevant factor deciding if people fled or not was whether they could reach another country before Maduro closed the borders.
Venezuelans didn't leave because they were "biased", good grief. They left because they were suffering under poverty, hyperinflation and violence.
There’s still a selection bias involved, just as there is with Cubans in Florida.
Those that leave are mainly the ones with means and/or the ones who feel strongest about it.
The set of people that left their country is not random, and certainly statistically biased.
That's not what they said. They said people who left are inherently biased, because they had to leave, which makes perfect sense.
