Isn't that something else?   Whereas the USA is being overwhelmed by illegal migrants.   And the leadership isn't doing anything about it.

Of course they are.

They're encouraging it.

Apparently the Democratic administration wants the votes of the illegal migrants.   I saw videos where the illegal migrants all thought Biden was wonderful.

But it's backfiring....many black Democrats are now saying they will vote for Trump.

Venezuela is having a terrible time.   The politics are worse than America.  The people are in dire straits and have been for several years when their economy completely collapsed.  I believe many of the people who left the country would have migrated legally but they either were not allowed to or could not for some reason.  Venezuela used to be a rich country and the people were happy and content for the most part but when a liberal, socialistic mentality became the leadership everything fell apart.  America seems to be on the same path unless the citizens understand the writing on the wall and unite for the good of all not the good of the most powerful and richest.  Sorry.....I will dismount from my soap box.  :)

Yes, I know.  The inflation was/is astronomical.   One lady being interviewed on the street in Venezuela spoke up but she was looking around, afraid to be seen.

The illegal migrants that attacked the NYC policemen were from a Venezuelan gang.

What I don't get is, if one Russian military airplane lands in Venezuela, there is a real fuss in the media. Yet when US oil companies influence foreign policy and White House officials meet with coup plotters, it's somehow regarded as benign.

I guess I look at things from a different perspective sometimes. (I'm not an American citizen; and do not live in the US. When I visit the US, however, I do feel at home.)

I am an American citizen and live in the US, and it bothers me too.  Ukraine mess is totally our doings. The so-called Deep State people have been plotting to get into an open war with Russia since before Bill Clinton was the president.
