Mass migration of Venezuelans

 

      Venezuela has been going through a social, political, and economic crisis for years, which worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many Venezuelans have had to leave the country and migrate to different parts of the world, especially the United States. In this sense, Venezuelan migration to the United States is one of the most common issues. There are three important reasons why many Venezuelans have been forced to leave their country.

      First, Venezuela is in a deep economic crisis. The economic mismanagement of the president and the bad policies implemented by the national government have caused a systematic deterioration in the quality of life of Venezuelans. This has caused food shortages, where some people in Venezuela find it difficult to have food and consume the necessary nutritional minimums. Also, the fall of oil despite having the largest oil reserves in the world. As a result, the economic crisis has pushed many people into poverty.

     Second, Venezuela has been living with a high level of citizen insecurity. Crime and corruption in Venezuela have become a problem that keeps the citizens in constant danger. For years they have been living with distrust and fear of going out in the streets for not having political support. In addition, there are many kidnappings, violence and extortion. These problems have changed the lives of many people. As a consequence, they have had to leave their country.

     Third, Venezuelans are migrating to the United States and other countries to improve their living conditions. Due to the political and socioeconomic circumstances that Venezuela is going through, many people are migrating to improve their economic life and have better job opportunities. In addition, they are migrating to improve their families' education and for better citizen security.  .  

      To sum up, Venezuela is experiencing one of the worst crises in history. The economic crisis, insecurity and poor living conditions have pushed Venezuelans to leave their country. From my point of view, I hope that Venezuelans can improve their economy, and become a better country again.
