This Venezuelan family works 6 days a week to afford basics, Americans do too. Inflation in Venezuela causing it harder to afford basics, Americans are dealing with this too. Because Colombia Peru and Chile make it hard for them to live in their countries, they leave. We never see Americans going into migrant camps and stealing their belongings to burn them in a huge pile like in Chile, that’s just cruel.

The Venezuelans chose communism / socialism. They went from a livable nation to a pit because they chose socialism. They wanted free stuff, it bankrupted their country now they want free stuff from Americans. Wake up people! This is a communist / socialist invasion!

I just came back from California to my country mexico. Most Americans are entitled and lazy in difference with the reality in Latin countries. American companies exploit my people so you can have cheap products, the salary is $2.5 dollars but they pay the same amount that you pay in your country for many items like shoes and clothes and some food. The economy here it is harder than in the USA. If you don't like immigrants start buying only products from the USA.

It is not only Haitians and Central Americans, but also Cubans and Venezuelans who have a political, social and economic crisis that is happening there in those countries. But do not emigrate to Chile or the United States, Brazil, Canada, Peru and Mexico, those countries have many problems to migrate to countries like Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama. Now there is a program for migrants when you show up at the US Mexican border You could apply or take you to go to Spain and Canada between those governments

These stories sounds like the USA, there are impoverished people right here. Plus many US citizens only make enough to pay mortgage/rent, sky high food prices, utilities, child care, transportation, etc and face hunger. Do a series on US citizens woes and do a segment on how Biden has destabilized the US citizens finances that affects their day to day lives negatively. Otherwise, these feed the world organizations need to step up and go to the Columbia/Venezuela borders to feed the Venezuelan people. They may complain about the food like they do in NYC and Chicago once they get here. No one is telling them what they will face in NYC, Chicago, Denver, Massachusetts, etc., hunger and homelessness.

@LokiTheGodofMischief 4 месяца назад

Lets be honest. Trump's plan sanctioning Venezuela preventing them from selling oil when oil makes up 90% of the country's revenue isn't working. Not to mention sanctioning them from borrowing money so that they can issue bonds instead of printing money is causing great economic harm. This is the work of your own government.

@corruption_with_an_undertone 4 месяца назад

Did you forget the part where Venezuela nationalized foreign oil companies? Venezuela was literally the richest country in South American but corruption and bad choices put them here today. Even if today they get the sanction lifted most companies won't take the risk of drilling on their soil. The country doesn't have the technology to do it themselves, they have themselves to blame.

@LokiTheGodofMischief 4 месяца назад

@@corruption_with_an_undertone Very valid points, but did you know every single president also took oil money but the US looked the other way as long as they let US oil companies get oil for pennies on the dollar? Did you know all presidents of VE were rich except one. Did you know Chavez was not the president to nationalize oil?

@LokiTheGodofMischief 4 месяца назад

@@corruption_with_an_undertone Did you know if they can't because they can't borrow money, every country borrows money including the richest ones so they don't have to print money. They pushed hyperinflation to unsustainable levels. Again this was by design. America purposely tried to kick the ladder from the hole they dug themselves in. And actually, they could have benefitted when oil was really high months ago.

@corruption_with_an_undertone 4 месяца назад

Also if borrowing money is one of the main issues that got them into this problem why do you think borrowing more money is a good idea? They can't pay the debt they already have.

Here in The United States, US citizens are starting to migrate. First from state to state like Californians to Colorado or Texas then from those states and others to … MEXICO, COLOMBIA, ITALY, GHANA… They’re called “digital nomads” but in reality they are GRINGO MIGRANTS escaping from having to sleep in their cars or pay rent to a vanlord. Millions of Americans are now in dire straits and one job loss away from also becoming a “digital nomad” aka MIGRANT. It’s happening all over the world and now in The United States as well.

Come on, Maduro is corrupt and socialist. It's almost all from the Chavez socialist freebies and nationalization of industries. The people that knew how to run things got kicked out so poor but inexperienced people could get jobs, and it was all supported by oil money. People got everything given to them, so they stopped farming and manufacturing things. Then, the oil prices fell, and the oil refineries stopped working since nobody knowledgeable was left to fix and run them.

And yet, the current policy of the United States towards Latin America is contributing to the growth of this phenomenon. The U.S. has been supplanted as the primary investor in Latin America by China, Russia, and Iran, none of whom prioritize democracy in the region. I hope that whoever wins in 2024 will address and rectify this situation. While the U.S. supports the struggle for democracy in Europe and the Middle East, it seems to have overlooked its own neighborhood. Migration is being weaponized by its adversaries, and this needs to be addressed and reversed.
