Scarcity and crisis drive Venezuelans to flee

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro thwarted an alleged assassination attempt on Saturday from two drones carrying plastic explosives while he was giving a speech to the country’s national guard. But even before the apparent attack and crackdown, the country was mired in economic, domestic and political crisis. The NewsHour’s P.J. Tobia explains why Venezuelans are running from their homeland.
