Juan González: U.S. "Economic Warfare" Targeting Venezuela, Cuba & Nicaragua Fuels Migrant Crisis
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- Democracy Now! co-host Juan González discusses his new report on "The Current Migrant Crisis," about how U.S. policy toward Latin America has fueled historic numbers of asylum seekers. He argues U.S. "economic warfare" against countries like Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela is what motivates many migrants to risk the journey north. "We're seeing this enormous increase from these three countries. What do all these three countries have in common? They are all being subjected to United States sanctions," says González. "The sanctions are reducing the ability of people to survive in the region, and then we're surprised by all these people appearing at the border."

Everything Juan said is correct.Instead of Americans being upset with migrants coming to America,they ought to be outraged with the American politicians who draw up and who support the policies that keep countries poor by America.This is arithmetic,and pragmatic.
Sure. All those American voters who have a choice between "shitty" and "shittier." And all those American voters who don't vote because they've lost faith in the system (40%, I think?).
We need to lift the damn sanctions. And we need to keep these selfish illegal immigrants out so they don't further harm average American workers/citizens.
Tell us more. What sanctions. What reasons. Why are we responsible for other countries.?

At you can build internal pressure against shitty whereas shittier is going to remain the shittier party isn't has become since 2016.
@@Cat54867You are right. There are no sanctions against Cuba by the US.
@@romanski5811 hahaha, an economic "embargo" isn´t by any means a sanction, no way, not even possible hahaha. I´m being sarcastic of course.
Do you have any idea what would the US goverment do to any one ( a goverment, a company) who wants to sell something to Cuba?
Thank you, Juan. History of US in Latin America is something few people bother to learn, and I've always believed that these immigration issues are of our own doing. We can go back to United Fruit, (now Chiquita Banana), in 1800's or further. Horrific.
They should report, on how much money immigrants are sending back to their country of origin.

They aren't spending it here, to help with America's economy.
I agree 100 percent
A testament to the fact that all our actions have consequences
When Cortez landed on the shores of Mexico and finally made it to Tecnochtitlan he was bewildered by the empire the MEXICA had built…
Latinos in the US generate the 5th largest GDP in the world…they are the economic engine and backbone of the US economy…this is credited to the hard work and productivity of “illegals” and “legals”… we see each other as Familia (Family)… this family of RAZA BUILDS EMPIRES.
Peace
@@dianahill5116 That's True, Since, it's Unlawful for an Employer to hire someone here Illegaly, Most get paid in Cash Under the table, No Taxes paid, of course, And, Western Union their Money Back home. There's an Online Article about Ecuador, how the Country Actually Depends on the Money Sent back from their People that Work here in the States
He is absolutely right! Chavez & Castro are long gone! And everyone complaining about migrants & the border, are too stupid to understand any of this bs! In short, America has done this, to itself! 😂
Unbelievable!!! TY Juan! 👍👍
Excellent exposé, thank you for your research and reporting Mr. Gonzalez
Juan & Amy fighting the good fight as always
Israel doesn’t need any more money for sure.
They need to be labeled as pariahs just like NK
Thank God for this reporting
If the Cuban blckade is not removed and the Venezuelan and Nicaraguan sanctions are not lifted you will never solve tyhe border incursion problem. You can't continue to mess up the ecomies of other countries and create mass unemployment and expect people to stay there and suffer. Not when you advertise yourself as the greates country on earth with the bigget economy on earth!!
The Cuban-American voting bloc in Florida will sadly never allow lifting the embargo. And since they're in a swing state, politicians care about their opinions.
The nasty side of American politics
The wisest thing that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH...)
HOW! I would really appreciate if you show me how to go about it. Please can you list the platforms?
Actually you need an expert trader assigned by a registered broker company to help you out. I currently trade with Mrs LindaMarieBoney, She is the best when it comes to making high profits in the market.
Wow, I'm just shocked you mentioned and recommended Expert LINDA'S services, i thought people don't know her. She's really awesome.
Oh please, how can someone get to speak with Mrs Linda!!?
I had a similar experience with Mrs Linda Marie Boney, my initial investment capital was $3500 but made $13,200 as profit in just the first week of trade.
Anyone who wants the truth on this should read, or get the audiobook for, Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Simple. Precise. Damning.
Thanks for putting some meat on the bones why so many are enduring their passage from Latin America to US. Very helpful.
Thank you Juan and Amy lot of that cash went in other pockets.💙
Juan you are a shining beacon of truth, thank you.
= If everyone thought and spoke like Juan González, let's see if governments learn... if they are democratic and act. I like Diego's painting in Juan's house.
= Si todo el mundo pensara y hablara como Juan González, a ver si los gobiernos aprenden... si son democráticos y actuan. Me gusta la pintura de Diego en la casa de Juan.
How do the sanctions work? Say on Venezuela? Do they say they can't trade oil or anything and with Just the US or anyone?
The US sanctions countries that trade with the countries they sanction. They thus can't import health equipment or export their oil (according to the US at least). In a globalized world that relies on huge supply lines they are on their own.
Ummm yes?
They not only are denied access to the US market, but to ANY ally of the US, and also have their dollars and economic assets in foreign countries frozen. Put also the fact that Venezuela cannot buy products with ANY component patented in the US, you can see how in the end a sanction can be incredibly devastated with that.
Way to go, Juan!
Latin American states like Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua should decouple from the US and embrace China and Russia if they want to see real progress.. The US only believes in exploitation and hindering progress The US does not represent anything positive in the world..Latin American states should also address bad governance and mismanagement of their economies
They should report, on how much money the immigrants are sending back to their country of origin.

Like China & The Russkies give a damn about these people! 😂
@@rachelkristine4669 I live in kenya (Africa) and I can tell you for real that China has lifted millions of Africans from poverty....Imagine this....China has built the entire roads network in Kenya including highways with flyovers. China has built fast speed rail line from The second largest city of Kenya Mombasa to the capital of Kenya Nairobi...China recently just completed a second port of Lamu (deep water port)....ALl these projects have created massive opportunities across the country...Besides, because of Chinese telecoms equipment Kenya now has some of the fastest internet speeds that beats even that of some cities in the US. I know how fast our internet speeds are because having lived in the UK I can compare
The crime is latin countries have nothing to do with interventions that is there issue which has nothing to do with the west.
Agreed but also most of the so called leaders of those countries were mere puppets of the U.S ; who ruined their economies .
Is economic terrorism. If a country does not play by the US corporations rules, this is what happens. Don't blame it on the border. blame it on the greed of corporations and the backing of the US GOV. to oppress people to the braking point that they have no choice but to head north to support their family. God bless those that don't have to go through this. But does God bless those who do?
Juan, mi hermano, sos una leyenda! Que grande!
Juan is a living legend.
Good job Juan. Thanks.
If US was a bit more intelligent, they would had created their own belt and road initiative for Latin America, but no better steal their resources on the cheap….
Outstanding bullet points Senior Juan. AOC should be screaming that from the rafters.
Good luck with that sell out!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where TF have you been? She was in LatAm in the last several weeks with a delegation of Congressmembers, saying this exact thing. Then, she spoke on it to the press and publicly here and it made the headlines in even the European newspapers, in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German!
That neither of you know how to read or educate yourselves is no one's fault but your own! 🤡
Policies have consequences.
We shouldn't give them anything!
Lol they just steal the "aid" lmao 🤣
Thank you Juan.
Really good points thanks
Unfortunately, with the tax cuts by Bush and Trump, America is no longer in the position to be giving out monies to foreign countries. America is losing its own social safety net and needs to work to correct these issues at home before reconsidering monies elsewhere. Every American-those whom actually pay taxes-needs to know where their tax dollars are going and why.
Unfortunately Trump and Bush have nothing with how you made your country recently, Obummer and your biden have damaged so much and you still choose to think your demoRAT party has any logic .. stop being a lazy useless apologist.
Thanks 🙏
Would will not forget the fact that Israel is actually doing the same that Hitler has done in Poland 🇵🇱
American arrogancy backfires and will keep backfire on america
How can I get Mr. Gonzalez's report ?
The Venezuelans are also going to other countries of Latin America, like Brazil and Argentina. Their welcome here, of course. But that affects the amount going to the US, I think.
Abraços, Juan.
An agreement with Ford still needs to be reviewed by the UAW socialist leadership Shawn💩Fain at Ford, and then it would need to be ratified by a majority of union members at the automaker.
I am sure that the US government knows this, why does this continue? Creating all of these issues in the US? Who stands to gain?
Yes and yet there are so many people in America that are homeless and there are so many people that are poor They can help others but they can’t help their own people
So let me see if I understand what he’s saying. Lift sanctions against countries that hate America and treat their citizens like shit. Send more money to these South American countries who will not use it for their people. Sounds like a good plan.
Please don't send any money we don't want it thanks, just lift the sanctions and leave us the fuck alone :) that would be great
And what you think makes such nations hate America?
@@Jamhael1 I have to give you money to like us? I don’t care if you hate us!
Those countries don’t need American money, but they do need America to lift sanctions so they can engage in real, free trade with the rest of the world. Venezuela for example cannot buy anything with ANY component that’s been patented in the US. US and Britain have also worked together to freeze billions in gold reserves in the Bank of England.
Most of those “human rights violations” by countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba are unsubstantiated claims by the US government lol.
@@chijimmy1 no, not something so extreme - just demand your government to stop intevening with military actions that destroy our governments whenever your government feel like, and do fair and honest trade.
Believe me, this will do WONDERS to solve this problem.
It is not a Matter of defending corrupto dictators Who have caused unpresedented exodus, if in 60 years the cuban Government has not been able to open one Factory , nor organized crops. The problema with Nicaragua, Venezuela and Cuba are extremely represive against the opposition or anyone Who complains about the scarcity, when the ones at the top of the Party, live in luxury . And in this countries nepotism reigns, not to mention inability to plan a strategy which does not involve corruption
But that's not where the majority of illegals are curently coming from
It is not only Haitians and Central Americans, but also Cubans and Venezuelans who have a political, social and economic crisis that is happening there in those countries. But they do not emigrate to Chile or the United States, Brazil, Canada, Peru and Mexico; those countries have many problems migrating to countries such as Uruguay, Paraguay, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Belize, Suriname, Costa Rica and Panama.and also by the way the US and current countries governments are the problem that Causes migration.
5:59 I'm sorry but so called foreign aid comes with strings attached. A much richer country can use their money to greater effect to ensure political outcomes in the poorer country are favorable to the rich country
🎉🎉🎉
usa, not America
Its wasted money, and that's how to attack this issue.
Duh.
1 million Venezuelans 288 million to go
Your Hamas Security Chief got Killed today.......you all must be upset
America be damned.
You guys are Palestinian supporters
Is this a joke?
Here we go. Another country giving its reasoning for choosing its allies in WW3
6:00 thank pvtin ?
