In New York, another crime involving a migrant. A 15-year-old kid walked into the JDSport shop in Times Square and started stealing clothes in broad daylight. Security guards tried to stop him, but he immediately pulled out a gun and started joking around.
Police identified him as an illegal migrant from Venezuela who was living in a shelter. Recently, a mob of similar illegal immigrants beat up police officers in Times Square. But liberal New York prosecutors quickly released them – and without bail.
No wonder the crime rate in New York City is off the charts. And the city is experiencing a real humanitarian crisis because of the influx of migrants being deported there from Texas. Many of them are Venezuelans. 330,000 Venezuelans have stormed the southern border of the United States. Some even put the Venezuelan flag there as a symbol of the breakthrough.
In Dallas, Chicago and Miami, the Venezuelan mafia has become active, nightmarishing the local population. Many are professional militants who staged the coup attempt in Caracas and clashed with Maduro. They have now relocated to the US – but are doing the same thing.
Caracas, meanwhile, has begun pulling military forces and armoured vehicles to Guyana’s border. The US wants to transfer arms to Guyana urgently – and threatens Venezuela with sanctions. But at the same time they urgently need Venezuelan oil – and the threat of sanctions is no longer working well. While Caracas retains an effective leverage in the form of the ongoing migration crisis – destabilising the situation inside the US itself.
