Venezuelan Immigrant Overcomes Harrowing Journey to Build a New Life in South Carolina



Luisana Silva, a Venezuelan immigrant, has embarked on a new life in South Carolina, working for a rug company after a perilous journey to the United States through Panama's Darien Gap and across Mexico. Silva, 25, along with her husband and daughter, sought asylum and received work permits last year, allowing them to contribute economically and support family back home. Their story illustrates a broader economic phenomenon; despite high interest rates intended to cool inflation, the U.S. economy continues to thrive and create jobs. This trend is supported by the vital roles that Silva and many other immigrants play in the workforce, helping to sustain economic growth in challenging times.
