Desperate women fleeing Venezuela sell hair, breast milk, sex to get by
Fox ^ | 12/22/18 | Hollie McKay

Thousands upon thousands of Venezuelans pour into Colombia over the crowd cross-country bridge, their faces gaunt, carrying little more than a backpack. Rail-thin women cradle their tiny babies, and beg along the trash-strewn gutters. Teens hawk everything from cigarettes to sweets and water for small change.

The young, the old and the disabled cluster around the lone Western Union office – recently established to deal with the Venezuelan influx – in the hopes of receiving or sending a few dollars to send home. Without passports or work permits, the Venezuelans – many with university degrees or decent jobs in what was once the wealthiest nation in Latin America – are now resorting to whatever it takes to survive.~snip~

One Venezuelan mother, 30-year-old Marie Chaparral, routinely treks across to Colombia to seek healthcare and vaccines for her three young children, one being only a few weeks old. She explained that she, like most expectant mothers in Venezuela, had to buy all necessary birthing procedural needs – from the painkillers to the scalpels to the towels and hospital gowns – on the black market in Colombia. Only then, lugging all her things to the hospital, would a doctor in Venezuela oversee the birth.

If you can’t afford to provide for off spring, keep your knees together and your pants zipped. No cost birth control.

Maybe the Catholic churches and the other faiths that are getting our tax dollars, should set up sanctuaries and health setups in those native countries, instead of using the money to talk them into coming up here.

I din’t see any gaunt people. In fact, more than a few of them are fat.

Occasional Cortex and Burnedout Sanders should go there for about 6 weeks and then come back and tell us how great Socialism is.

Sam Kinison told people who lived in a desert to move to where the food is. For that situation, it’s not bad advice.

Venezuela, however, is a fine location. They can grow food. They have oil. They have natural resources. They have a decent climate. The people need to fix their country. There is no other solution to their problem. And certainly their problem is not my problem.

Your looking at the political model Marxist RATs Schmucky Schumer, Nancy Piglosi, Madd Maxine, Delusional Cummings, San Fran ChiFi, Loon Cortez, Spartacus Booker, Knee Pad Harris, et al. would have the American people live like, IMO.

I've written to Campus Reform more than once to suggest they create a scholarship fund to send young left leaning students to school in Venezuela, or Cuba for a semester or two so they can come back and report on their experience.

“Maybe the Catholic churches and the other faiths that are getting our tax dollars, should set up sanctuaries and health setups in those native countries, instead of using the money to talk them into coming up here.”

Maybe a better idea would be to have the Catholic Church, since it is essentially the State Religion in most, if not all of Central and South America, alter it’s opposition to birth control. Their pitch seems to be, have every kid you can have, forgetting the hard fact that you can’t support them, then call on the United States to take them in, and feed, raise, educate and provide for their every “need.”

You left out Jerry The Fairy,” and “Any Twosome” Newsom! As an aside, I just wonder what Newsom will do/say, when his ex-wife marries DJTJr?

They should stay in Venezuela. We don’t need them, we don’t want them, they and their families should stay there and fix their own country, not come here and in fast and destroy ours. The sob stories do nothing, other than irritate. Someone wants to help them, send them some bullets.

In another thread, somebody commented that Harris is related to Maxine Waters.

Paging Bernie, Danny and Sean. The mad mustache Maduro needs your adulations to the glorious socialist turned tyrannical hellhole.
