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.

[@WillieFungo]

Americans do it legally.

[@user-wv9pw9tq1g]

@@WillieFungoIt is not illegal to cross the U.S. border to seek asylum. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), individuals present at the U.S. border have the right to request asylum without being criminalized or turned back The right to seek asylum is established in U.S. immigration law and is in line with international refugee norms. Once an individual's asylum claim is approved, they are granted asylum status, which allows them to stay in the United States Therefore, technically, crossing the U.S. border to seek asylum is not illegal if the asylum claim is approved. Hence allowing humans due process to turn themselves in to border patrol is actually the legal thing to do.

Defending the deliberate disregard for asylum-which was designed for those escaping "political persecution", not wanting a job, your own home or more money, shows that you just don't get it.

I'm an American living in Buenos Aires Argentina and one of my Muay Thai coaches, and my jiu jitsu coach, is Venezuelan. He has told me several really sad stories about his life there. One example was how when he was a teen and his little brother was basically a baby, he and his mom would often go 2+ days without eating because they could only get enough food to feed his little brother. I've met his mom and his brother and they are just decent regular people. It makes me sad to think that there are so many decent human beings there living a extremely hard life when it is completely unnecessary *edit* go somewhere with that lame whataboutism. No one cares and it really says bad things about you as a person if you do it. It is kinda like farting in an elevator or something and it is just rude.

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.

The minimum wage too be living just to pay off rent utilities and food is about $15 an hr. but since these people that work for way less, leaves companies wanting to hire cheaper labors, leaving us American's left to the side. Remember they are already getting help and if anything they live in a place with multiple people working so when money comes they have it. An example is my neighbor, they came from Venezuela but 10 people live in 1 bedroom apartment, and there all adult's... me in the other hand is a single father with 3 children and 2 part time tipping jobs from bussing because all the manual labor jobs are taken for cheaper worker's. I was once a disher getting $16 an hour for 1 job doing dishes but cut my hours to where's it 2 day's out of the week because they hired like 5 dudes from Venezuela for $12 an hour. And now that I go apply at places and they see how much I am asking for which is $500 a week for 40 hours , they all just tell me were are full in the back and only the only jobs that are around is tipping jobs.

In Venezuela, compulsory education ceased to exist as soon as Marcos Perez Jimenez was overthrown in 1958. These are the children who grew up in the Venezuelan streets since the time that Romulo Betancourt came to power and who were allowed to continue begging and stealing in the streets even during the Chavez and Maduro governments. Now these children are young men and this is what they learned while begging and being mistreated and abused in the Venezuelan streets. These are the children of the Venezuelan pseudo democracy and the children of Chavez and Maduro. The only school they received was the one they received on the streets.

That a very hard different with other migrants from latam. Other already have someone there that will help them to find a job in construction, restaurants, hotels or agriculture. They just leave out of fear and horrible situations

I don't know why so much help for those people, the truth is they don't deserve it, and those from other countries don't help just them, while they don't like to work, it's proven in the factories where I work, they complain about everything,

[@francismarion6400]

It should be used as an example in every US school how the Bolshevics destroyed such a beautiful wealthy country.
