Anytime someone starts talking socialist feel good garbage. I point to Venezuela, a net oil importers and sitting on top of one of the biggest oil deposits in the world. It works so well that 3 million have already left, it is now the murder capital of the world AND the U.N. is projecting another 5.3 million will become refugees. The only thing socialist countries are good at, it wrecking their economies. Now on to th article:

BOGOTA, Colombia – The number of Venezuelans fleeing their country's economic and humanitarian crisis is expected to reach 5.3 million by the end of 2019 in what has become the largest exodus in modern Latin American history, the United Nations said Friday.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said that humanitarian organizations will need $738 million to provide migrants with critical services like food and emergency shelter as added stress is put on receiving nations.

"It is now vital that we stabilize the dire humanitarian situation affecting the millions of Venezuelans seeking protection and shelter across the continent," said the commissioner, Filippo Grandi.

In concordance with current migrant patterns, Colombia is expected to continue receiving the largest number of migrants, with over 2.2 million expected to have settled in the neighboring Andean nation by December 2019. Peru is likely to see the second largest influx, with nearly 1.4 million having arrived by the end of next year.

Ecuador and Brazil, in addition to other nations in the Southern Cone, Central America and the Caribbean, are also projected to see an increase in the numbers of Venezuelan migrants, though to a lesser extent. Estimates are based on government figures calculated for planning purposes as regional officials and aid groups determine their response.

"Beyond the most immediate humanitarian impacts of the largest displacement of people in the history of Latin America, there are other quite complex implications for which we were not prepared as a region," Eduardo Stein, the U.N.'s Joint Special Representative for Venezuelan refugees and migrants, wrote in the response plan's report.

A thought. We have these thousands of 'refugees' from Honduras who only want free welfare. Yet I haven't heard that any (or many) of these Venezuelan refugees are coming to our borders. Not that I want them, but at least they would have a real claim.

I can't imagine that VZ will last much longer. A few months back I referenced an article talking about how food trucks were guarded by the military because people were starving & intercepting them. Then a couple of months back I referenced another article talking about how water was being rationed, some people getting running water a day a week, sometimes a day or two a month.

I can't remember if their currency had 500,000% or 1,000,000% inflation this past year. The country struggled to pay for the printing of new currency: yes, they were so broke they couldn't afford to print money!

How much longer can this continue before there is full-scale revolt? I suppose it would have happened already had people still had weapons (them socialists are so smart!). It will take the revolt of the military to get change.

I almost feel bad for the people there. At least for all the ones that voted for all this wonderful socialism. But my heart mourns for those who tried to stop it. Truly it does.
