Venezuelan migrants in Chicago say election results could sway decision to stay or return home
CHICAGO -- Sunday was election day in Venezuela , and the outcome could result in ripple effects for thousands of Venezuela n migrants in Chicago . Many local Venezuela ns rallied on the Magnificent Mile Sunday to bring attention to the critical election and support friends and family back home. They say there is so much riding on the election, which will very likely determine if people stay or decide to leave their homeland.
The current president and his United Socialist Party of Venezuela has become incredibly unpopular as many citizens blame his policies for unlivable wages, widespread hunger, and a crippling economy. It's the reason why millions have fled the country. Since 2022, 45,000 migrants have relocated to Chicago, and a majority of them are from Venezuela. Some say the election results will determine whether those migrants return to their home country or if more leave Venezuela.
