Apartment buildings are being taken over by gangs of illegal immigrants

These incidents, reported in cities like Aurora, Chicago and others, highlight the dire consequences of mass immigration policies that fail to ensure proper screening and enforcement.

In Aurora, Colorado, residents of certain apartment complexes have experienced firsthand the horrors of living near armed gangs. The Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang known for its brutality, has reportedly taken control of several buildings. Residents have described seeing gang members openly carrying weapons, and in some cases the gang has even collected rent from tenants. The police response has been criticized as slow and inadequate, leaving residents to fend for themselves in increasingly dangerous environments.

One particularly alarming incident involved heavily armed gang members attempting to break into an apartment. The scene was captured on doorbell footage, which shows the terrifying moment the gang attempted to gain entry. Despite this clear evidence of criminal activity, residents have expressed frustration at the limited police response, noting that it often comes too late or is insufficient to address the seriousness of the situation.

The mayor of Aurora has expressed his concerns, stating that the city is a victim of failed federal immigration policies that have allowed dangerous individuals to enter the country unchecked. He stressed that the city had done everything in its power to prevent such a situation, but was overwhelmed by the scale of the problem.

This situation in Aurora is not an isolated incident, but part of a larger pattern seen in other American cities grappling with the effects of mass immigration and the infiltration of transnational gangs. The failure to adequately address these issues at the federal level has left local communities to deal with the consequences, often with limited resources and support.

Chicago: Another City Under Siege

Chicago has had similar problems, with neighborhoods with a high influx of illegal immigrants seeing an increase in gang-related violence. These incidents have further strained relations between residents and law enforcement, who struggle to maintain order in areas where gangs have established a stronghold. The violence in Chicago mirrors that in Aurora, with gang members taking control of certain properties and terrorizing locals.

The rise in gang violence is particularly pronounced in areas where law enforcement is challenged. Police resources are often scarce, complicating efforts. In some cases, gangs have been known to take over entire buildings, using them as bases for their operations and further entrenching their presence in these communities.

Other metropolitan areas, such as New York City and Los Angeles, are also grappling with the effects of mass immigration policies. In New York, there has been an increase in crimes related to illegal immigrants, particularly in sanctuary cities where law enforcement is limited in its ability to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Los Angeles has also seen an increase in gang activity, particularly from the notorious MS-13 gang, which has been involved in a series of violent crimes.

Texas Border Towns: The Front Lines of the Crisis

While apartment complex takeovers are new, the chaos and violence caused by uncontrolled mass migration has become the norm for many Americans since Vice President Kamala Harris took charge of border security.

“Since the start of the Biden administration, there have been more than 6 million attempted illegal border crossings at America’s southern border,” Alina Clough reported for Evie. “Most of those, nearly 4 million, have occurred in Texas. Nearly 2 million known attempts have been successful in evading Border Patrol and entering the U.S. illegally. Because many ultimately remain in Texas, the sheer numbers take a toll on the state’s resources, with illegal immigrants costing the state an estimated $623 million in education, $534 million in health care and $183 million in criminal justice each year.”

In cities along the Texas-Mexico border, communities have also reported an increase in home invasions, vehicle thefts, kidnappings, and other crimes committed by illegal immigrants linked to human trafficking and drug cartels. The porous nature of the border has allowed these criminal elements to enter and operate in the United States with relative ease, threatening the safety of border communities.

“The Biden administration has largely ignored the problem, but the rising numbers of migrants and the resulting chaos have forced Texas Governor Greg Abbott to respond,” Clough added. “One of the most famous clashes was in November over the 70,000 rolls of razor wire that Texas had installed to prevent migrants from crossing the border.”

A Call for Policy Change: Safety for All

The failure to adequately screen and monitor individuals entering the United States has allowed criminal organizations to game the system and endanger American citizens. These ongoing crises should serve as a wake-up call to policymakers and the public for the urgent need to take action to address the risks associated with mass immigration and restore the safety of communities across the United States.
