Summary

“I was born in paradise,” Carmen Maria Montiel says of her home county of Venezuela. But “bureaucracy and corruption” turned her homeland into a nation she hardly recognized.  Montiel, a journalist, writer, political activist, and Miss Venezuela 1984, says her home country was destroyed by crippling economic policies and poor immigration regulations. "It's exactly what happened in Venezuela," Montiel says, comparing America’s open border policies to Venezuela's immigration policies in the ‘70s and ‘80s.  Montiel joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to share her own story of immigrating to America, and to discuss the parallels between Venezuela’s downfall and what she is currently seeing in America.  Enjoy the show!
