My wife was born and raised there and her parents are still stuck there so I am close to the situation.
It is terrible there right now. Jobs are almost non existent, if you do find one the pay is not enough to support yourself. My in-laws were middle class and live in, what used to be, a nice, fairly wealthy area and they only get their water turned on twice a day for 30 minutes, constantly have power outages and grocery stores rarely have enough food to support the amount of people in the area. They are both university educated professionals that used to own a thriving small business and now they have to scramble daily when the water comes on for 30 minutes just to do normal household activities (cleaning and cooking) and struggle to get enough food on the table to survive.
Its a pretty dire situation in that "wealthy" area, it must be like a doomsday scenario in traditional working class and impoverished areas because all of the government handouts dried up.
The media has never really truly described what is going on there. It is a failed socialist state that systematically destroyed a once thriving country with a huge middle class and reduced it to ashes. Venezuela was the closest thing to the US that South America had and they crushed it.
God help them! Here at home after about the kids clamour to be in with their peers, riled up by their brainwashers ( aka "teachers") to attend rallies, protests and take sex change drugs. they are tricked to support the communist party, and approve open borders and trans and pan gender people.
Pretty scary how leftists can ruin a country so easily. What is really maddening is that despite all the history of how socialism destroys countries, the stupid Democrats in this country (the voters), fall for their evil Democrat politicians promises of how socialism (of course they don't call it that) will make right all the "unfairness" of their lives.
They were both just recently denied a visa by US Customs but if they crossed the Mexican border illegally it’s all good. So much for doing things the right way.
