Desperate women fleeing Venezuela sell hair, breast milk, sex to get by

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.

AMEN

The Catholic Church has told these uneducated people for decades to keep having children.

BUT-—the Catholic church isn’t feeding or housing them.

"Paging Bernie, Danny and Sean."

It needs repeating. Hey Penn, Glover, Sanders, Cortez, other assorted socialists in Hollywood, DC, college professors and their indoctrinated students - what do you have to say now about the glorious Chavez/Maduro socialist government?

Crickets.

Oh right, socialism wasn't done correctly, AGAIN. Next time it will work, like fer sure dude.
