This month, the governor of the northern Brazilian state of Roraima sued the federal government, demanding that it close the border with Venezuela and provide additional money for her overburdened education and health systems. “We’re very fearful this may lead to an economic and social destabilization in our state,” said the governor, Suely Campos. “I’m looking after the needs of Venezuelans to the detriment of Brazilians.”

Gee, when Trump tries to do the same thing here, he gets called a "racist".

Ironically, these Venezuelans are true refugees from the opression of leftist progressive tyranny

This is so crazy. Venezuela is loaded with all kinds of resources, not just oil. They used to have a high level of literacy and skills, a good workforce. Ought to be a wealthy country.

So in the interests of "fairness," the govt. got majorly into "redistribution," appropriations of property, nationalization of businesses, price controls that discourage private sector investment and production. Killed the economy.

They don't need redistribution. They need revolution.

At the General Hospital of Roraima, the director, Samir Xuad, says the daily patient population has surged from 400 per day to 1,000 over the past couple of years.

That requires working his employees so hard that some of them end up getting sick, too, said Mr. Xuad, adding that he had lost more than 20 pounds from the stress. Medical supplies as basic as syringes and gloves have run out, he said, and during particularly busy periods, patient gurneys line up in hallways.

“We try to make magic,” he said. “But it’s difficult.”

Outside of work, he said, residents of Boa Vista have become fearful of crime and wary of the mobs of aggressive window washers who approach drivers at stop lights.

“Roraima was a place where you could sleep with your door open at night,” he said. “That is no longer the case.”

Wow! Kind of sounds like what happened here due to our invasion from the South.

This is happening in California and other illegal anti-American "sanctuary" states at a rapid rate. The left thinks socialism and illegal colonists are essential and they have the right to walk into America and have Constitutional rights.
