Hello everyone! Let’s talk about a growing problem that could affect anyone who orders food in the United States. A recent investigation has revealed that hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are working illegally as food delivery drivers, using names and identities that are not their own. This disturbing development raises serious questions about the safety and reliability of the food delivery apps that many of us use every day.

That’s how we got here. Since President Joe Biden took office, about 1 million Venezuelan migrants have entered the U.S., many through the southern border. For those desperate for income, delivering food has become a popular job. But not all have the legal status or work permits needed to operate. To get around this, some migrants are renting or buying accounts on delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash, often through Facebook groups specifically designed for Venezuelan communities.

The practice is widespread. In areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, where there has been a large influx of Venezuelan migrants, it’s as simple as joining a Facebook group, paying a fee, and starting work under someone else’s identity. Some of these accounts rent for as much as $150 a week, a steep price considering the low salaries many delivery workers earn. Others purchase accounts for up to $1,300, often with installment plans.

While some immigrants are in the U.S. legally and have work permits, many do not. This lack of legal status, combined with the use of fraudulent accounts, creates a dangerous situation for both drivers and customers. For one, it is nearly impossible to know who is actually showing up at your door with your food. Worse yet, there is a growing fear that criminal organizations, including the notorious Tren de Aragua gang from Venezuela, are behind some of these account rentals.

This isn’t just a hypothetical concern. Dallas police have confirmed that the Tren de Aragua gang is active in North Texas, though they haven’t specifically linked the gang to food delivery crimes. However, the presence of such a dangerous group only adds to the fear surrounding this issue.

Real-life incidents have already highlighted the risks. For example, a woman’s car in Texas was recently damaged by a Venezuelan delivery driver using an app account that wasn’t his. He didn’t have a valid driver’s license or insurance, and local police said there was little they could do.

Delivery companies like Uber and DoorDash claim to have strict regulations and safety measures in place, such as background checks and ID verification. However, it’s clear that many migrants are finding ways to circumvent these systems, leaving consumers in the dark about who is really handling their food.

This situation calls for a closer look at the accountability of delivery platforms. Who are they giving our personal information to? And how are these unauthorized drivers slipping through the cracks? As the problem grows, so does the need for these companies to strengthen their screening processes and ensure that the people delivering our food are who they say they are.

These pieces of trash are getting more and more brutal!!
