When Venezuelan immigrants in the United States see items missing from store shelves, they worry about the direction of the United States and remember the empty shelves in their home country as it fell into socialism.
The Affect of U.S. Food Shortages on Immigrants
The most recent U.S. food shortages have been affecting immigrants from Venezuela, who are now seeing empty shelves where they used to find items such as cornflour and milk powder. The shortages have also left many Americans wondering about the future of their grocery stores and whether other items might go missing from store shelves in the future.Venezuela Over Time
Once the richest country in South America, today many in Venezuela are impoverished and many are leaving to survive. But it wasn’t always like that.Venezuela was once a wealthy and prosperous country. In fact, the country has the largest oil reserves on Earth, with more than 300 billion barrels of crude oil in its soil. It also has vast deposits of gold and diamonds. Those natural resources made Venezuela one of the richest countries in South America, but now they are being squandered by socialist policies that have destroyed what was once an economically vibrant nation.
