Good luck surviving in this economy, that a lot of Americans can’t even afford
So many of them are gonna be so disappointed when they arrive to America, especially if they're trying to escape inflation, xenofobia and violence.
They act like going to the US is going to another planet
As venezuelan i made the best desicion of my life when i got a vasectomy even though i am struggling here in venezuela will never enter a country illegally
Our national debt is $34 trillion. There is no point in coming here because we are on track to become Venezuela soon enough.
The White liberals are forcing socialism down our throats
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 may just come to that because the Americans are getting tired of supporting these people who come here illegally
This madness will be stopped very soon
By the orange man?! 😂😂😂😂😂
WWJD?
@@williamshaw5388as if you are taking any illegals into your house...blacks and latinos are riding with TRUMP....cry more liberals!!! 😂
Debemos unirnos para combatir el comunismo
Lol You’re not listening to the reasons people are migrating.
Usa not a better life wages are low and housing expenses. Sorry.
US never admits that its embargo has anything to do with the situation in Venuezuela...
Venezuela failed because they choose and idiot of a president how cared less about learning about the oil industry. He failed to diversify the economy and made many many mistakes. Elections have consequences. And btw Biden lifted the embargo.
He needs to ask his besties. RUSSIA AND CHINA
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
Ofc🙄 its always america fault. It's never your politicians or government fault.
Well the reason Venezuela economy has gone down is because oil prices decreased & there whole economy depended on one product was a recipe for disaster. When oil prices are high the economy was good. When oil prices decreased this devastated the economy!
Great journalism! I wish all reporting was this in depth.
Me hoping the US doesn’t collapse 😞 not having kids period
This is why they say we need replacement.
So American tax payers are responsible for family PLANNING and we get handed the tax bill for Illegals $9,000 debit cards, $700 a night hotel stays
It's cheaper for the American government to pay their governments to keep them there.
Fun fact: Venezuela has the greatest oil reserves across the world yet millions are poor AF
America pumps more oil than any country on Earth We live pay check to pay check as well! Lots sleep on the Streets!
Venezuela has a lot more than oil. It is estimated that it has over $15 trillion US dollars worth of natural resources. It is beyond comprehension that the bad management of this beautiful country has bankrupted Venezuela.
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.
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.
@@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?
@@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.
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.
@@corruption_with_an_undertone People and countries borrow money all the time. Americans live on credit cards to get them to the next stop. America borrows money too so they don't have to print money.
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.
roflmao you think they are gonna blame biden... shortbusspecialrightherethisaintfoxneswsidiot
Actually they do know hunger and homelesness awaits. I'm not understanding why they still come.
I'm thinking the same thing ..
Struggle is everywhere..
The homeless in LA have a story as well.
I've recently learned of all the homeless Americans sleeping in their car at nite in the Walmart parking lot.
Just around the corner from me..
😢
They have a story as well.
People live like that in the us as well.
If you do live like latin people in the USA it is because you are lazy a mediocre.
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.
I cant believe how many pregnant women are coming, many single mothers, who will take care if the kids when and if they get a job.
Why is the US Taxpayer responsibility to solve the Worlds problems
Then you bitch and cry about it when they flee to this racist ass country why does the USA work with China? You do realize everything you use is mainly from China right dumbass?
because the us government takes all your money through taxes to destabilize these countries
Bidens Responsibility
Because we caused most of them?
@@williamshaw5388 ohhhh please!
Don’t come. There is no room.
Close the border we can not fix everyone life. Focus on the Americans and other migrants that have been living in the USA more than 30 years without a status.
I can agree about the Americans - not sure about the so called, other migrants…
Indeed!
Exactly
Forgive me, but these ppl stay pregnant
They need to
Get on the pill
Isn't that a oil Rich country ...Venezuelans are not feeing a place that can't be fixed in their life time ... Has their been any action taken to fix things there....
Why don’t you ask why Venezuela has so much oil and yet is so poor. Could it have anything to do with the illegal policies America has against Venezuela?
@@williamshaw5388 Not just America ......
@@williamshaw5388It has nothing to do with the same socialism Bernie champions?
@@williamshaw5388A corrupt government is their problem.
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.
What's driving there decision is our free stuff
Did we not learn from 9-11, and what happens when people inter our country illegally?
No you haven't you keep abusing other countries
It’s truly a homeland security issue & these illegals turning the United States into a developing country with their developing country values.
Stop pushing his BS narrative.
About poverty in the US .... CZcams Who may help this country in 2024...? CZcams.... " Homelessness, Poverty, and Crime.."...Ron Desantis...?
Sad world for people. The US should help change and better Venezuela. The USA is very exspensive and difficult for most people but it is all relative.
Trump tried to get their Constitutional president back in there
Why should the us help ? Us Americans don’t even get that assistance 😂
@@blondiebalderas542 because it will be less expensive then housing and feeding the people that come.
@@dianadelahaye7660 yea I can tell you like to live of people that’s not the USA and we don’t care for them , if you want to make a change why don’t you do it !!! invite them to your home and feed them !!!
@@dianadelahaye7660 It’s expensive period, It’s always the ones that don’t have anything , To say why don’t someone help like Diana why don’t you do it you sound so ignorant
sadly enough many of these migrants will live in the hood, where life isn't necessarily better, I went through it, and im now 30 just starting to recover from the horrible things that happened to me in usa as a child migrants.
Thanks for finally doing a report on this. It’s long overdue.
This has been going for decades with Cubans but got special treatment and no one says a word (especially from republicans who need them for votes 😂)
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
So they can make the same stupid mistakes they made in S America?
Same s*** here happening in the U .S it's no f******
I’ve actually been to Turbo, it’s so dangerous and there are no police.
the venezuela never gonna change if keep let maduro on power, Venezuelen need to do something.
There is a time and a place and right now our economy is weak. Not a good time to take in millions. Its crazy to think of 8 million people leaving a country.
Fix your own country! Don't take it to others. If you won't stand up for your self,why would others want to take care of you 😢
They act like they are going to have the life fantastic in the US. I worked 6 days a week also as a single mother. I didn't go to another country with no money or plan expecting them to give me a better life. These people have their head in the sand and better pay attention o whats going on in the US before they make a big mistake.
Deport public charges
It's not up to the world to help Venezuela the Venezuelan people need to fight for their own country and Americans don't want any illegals were sick and tired
This is not the whole story. They used to get $10K USD and free gasoline for years! Also, much of the xenophobia is in response to crimes committed by them in these countries.
FOCUS ! David Petraeus “is” E jeans car rol in silicone drag. Petraeus works for the “Office of Strategic Services”, which goes into other Countries and causes subversions. The woman in blue @ the:49 mark is Hugo Chavez in drag silicone disguise w/voice synthesizer.
Why does this have only 13,000 views with over 15 million subscribers??
Because no one cares about these peoples bs
Calling it an Exodus is disrespectful
Shipped all the migrants to Biden white house😂😂😂
NGL Venezuelans are different. They remind me of Katrina evacuees. A lot are just giving them a bad name. Many don't want to work.
Get them out now
The US Economic Blockade and allies Is The Reason
Touching story, that sadly no one seems to care about see how few views this video has. I've been to Colombia and have met many Venezuelans there, all honest and hard working people who were unfortunately displaced.
I don’t care, they need to leave
I don’t care either you can’t illegally walk in to someone’s country
HARD-WORKING😂 TAKING MONEY OUT OF TAXPAYERS POCKET AND GETTING SNAP, HOUSING, MEDICAL STOP THE SOB STORY
and they should stay there, it is not okay for them to try to violate the laws of the United States.
No they need to leave. The US and Venezuela are enemies. Therefore, the Us should treat all Venezuelans coming at the moment as a national threat. Period. Who is to say that out of 100 people, half can be criminals released by Maduro. In other words he released the trash.
Socialism!
The RICH gets RICHER, The POOR gets POOPER
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo would you call them racist? Lol nah but foreal tho…
Chavez and Maduro are the root

Jj
It’s no longer the same economy here in the U.S. as it use to be.
Immigrants won’t survive unless they make 4K/5k a month in the U.S. from the start
Why cant they go to Europe
I feel bad for our Venezuelan brothers & sisters. You should watch Bald & Bankrupt's vlog on immigration journey through the the Darian Jungle...
God blees the United States and Venezuela 🇺🇸🇻🇪
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.
There's always been Communist activity trying to influence the minds of the youth in Latin America going back before the Cold War. In the us it's the same. Communist teachers trying to spread lies and undermine our God given rights.
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.

When Hillary Clintons global music club is done ruling the world and the Obama family is done getting praised on the red carpet we have some things to address. Thanks . America 🇺🇸😎🚬💋
The Republican party needs to watch this segment maybe it would remind them that migrants are people not verman...
Voteblue 💙
Nope, I still don’t care… 100% guaranteed, I know you don’t pay taxes by this statement alone.
Sure they are people, but the hotel should have a sign out that reads no vacancy. Just because the lefts socialism failed, doesn't mean they can come here.
Stop the invasion.
I'm glad to learn that you've opened your home to a "migrant" family! It really takes someone special to do that while ignoring homeless Americans. Perhaps you've never had a phone call from the hospital in the middle of the night indicating that YOUR child has overdosed on the drugs that come across the border. I have. That's on Joe Biden and everyone who voted for him.
I feel 100% Republicans more now, We should learn from they mistakes give, Free,Free ⛽️ ,(that Democrat)make people lazy don't know how to working and not supoport on Fram making foods crisis, They countries is vary beautiful to growing fruits and vegetables. But Governments said those are cheap to produce.
Most of Republicans is framers here in US, it's big challenge for framers to growing trees and fruits a lot harder then another country by too cold, too warm, hard soils, over rain, some flooding 😅
no jobs in america where being replace with robots every state have a homeless city rent is so expensive
So sad, there for the Grace of God, it could be any of us.
I think of all the people leaving Europe over a hundred years ago.
To have to leave everything you know and love because of such poverty and unruly governments.
Unless you are a Native American, your's and mine left Europe because of percussion.
I have no answers for this huge problem, but I know they wouldn't leave their home countries if they felt safe and could provide for their families.
You should read some books. 😂😂😂
Dearest William,
I do read books. I am a lawyer, how safe you must feel behind your little messages insulting people!
I care about people, you obviously only care about yourself. A true Trump supporter. Back off and act like a decent man.
@@susanvotroubek7440 why do you assume he is a Trump supporter? They are poor because they have elected bad presidents. Same like it's happening in america. People here are struggling because of choices the president has taken. Election has consequences. Then they need help.
This right here. This comment #Truth. They voted for their Governments and want the same in the USA. @@curiouscat544
@susanvotroubek7440 I watched the video and I couldn't hold back my tears, many people in this country knows nothing about what many of these people are going through. It's only when they reach in that situation they will really know what poverty is. This family I hope that they can make it through, they are trying to survive. You can see she goes out every day trying to make money, she is not a lazy person.
We don't care about these ppl stories looks like they were living fine in Colombia Americans have it hard to and we can't just get up and run to Canada this is what voting democrat gets you smh 🐘 MAGA 🇺🇸
