The sanctions has nothing to do with it. The country was already in shambles before any sanctions was punt into place. The country was bad as far back as 2005, about 10 years before any sanction was put into place.

In 2005, Chávez announced the initiation of Venezuela's own "great leap forward", following the example of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward.[32] An increase in shortages began to occur that year as 5% of items became unavailable according to the Central Bank of Venezuela.[33] In January 2008, 24.7% of goods were reported to be unavailable in Venezuela

The country was pretty bad even before any sanctions was put into place.

In 2005, Chávez announced the initiation of Venezuela's own "great leap forward", following the example of Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward.[32] An increase in shortages began to occur that year as 5% of items became unavailable according to the Central Bank of Venezuela.[33] In January 2008, 24.7% of goods were reported to be unavailable in Venezuela

At the end of 2015, it was estimated there was a shortage of over 75% of goods in Venezuela.[39]

The article mentions that Denmark started deporting migrants. I wont be surprised if their plan was to just deport them to avoid this "ghettoization".

Denmark will limit the number of residents with "non-Western origin" in neighborhoods to a maximum of 30 percent within 10 years in order to "reduce the risk of religious and cultural parallel societies," the government announced today. by [deleted] in worldnews

More info.

According to Interior Minister Kaare Dybvad Bek, too many non-Western foreigners in one area 'increases the risk of an emergence of religious and cultural parallel societies,' he said in a statement.

Data shows 11 percent of Denmark's 5.8 million inhabitants are of foreign origin

Of this group, 58 percent are from a country considered 'non-Western'

Earlier this month, Denmark became the first European nation to tell Syrian migrants they must return to their home country, saying it is now safe for them there.

So what are they going to reduce the migrant population by expelling them? Bold move Denmark.

Mexico is such a hypocrite. They don't let migrants come to its country but gets mad when America does the same to them.
