A Venezuelan Explains How (And Why) Criminal Migrants Get To The US<\/span><\/p>\n

Authored by Daniela Gonzalez via The Organic Prepper blog,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

With the last recent events at the US border and the approach of the authorities\u2019 response (not the ones of the States being affected, but the highest ones), anyone with some degree of common sense would start to ask questions.<\/p>\n

How are migrants from Venezuela getting from their country to the US border?\u00a0Are they walking? if so, how long does it take and how are they equipped for it? If not, how are they getting there?\u00a0Are they criminals?\u00a0Are they crossing other borders legally?\u00a0Is someone funding this?<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

As a Venezuelan, I hope to answer some of these questions for you.<\/p>\n

How do Venezuelans travel to the southern US border?<\/h2>\n

You may already be aware of the\u00a0dangerous Darien jungle crossing<\/a>. It\u2019s a remote area in Panama with no road through it. There is no way to know how many people have perished there. People die not only because the jungle is already a very dangerous place for the untrained. It\u2019s the\u00a0gangs\u00a0taking advantage of whomever they find. There are enough horror stories in the media to traumatize anyone for life.<\/p>\n

Just as general information: previous to this nightmare of a walk, there were enough borders to cross that is not so easy to go through, even for a regular citizen. However, for some reason, hordes of people carrying suitcases and all sorts of bags just walk through. There are eight (yes, EIGHT) countries to cross by foot to reach the Southern Border of the US. How someone without money can do it, is an unnerving question.<\/p>\n

And a much more unnerving one is how\u00a0criminals do it.<\/p>\n

The first leg is over 500 miles (+800km) from Caracas, Venezuela to Cucuta, Colombia. This leg is relatively easy because it is a very beaten path with plenty of bus services.<\/p>\n

From\u00a0Cucuta, the next leg is going to\u00a0Necocli, Colombia, covering a similar distance. This is a coastal town. They can reach from there to several points at the coastline. From there, the crossing is by foot until the Southern Border through Panama, Honduras, and Mexico.<\/p>\n

This is one of the paths<\/a>\u00a0they follow, like many migrants trying to cross.<\/p>\n

The story of\u00a0this handicapped migrant<\/a>\u00a0is something different. He and his family spent $7000 on the whole journey. How someone decides to use that amount of money to cross one of the most dangerous areas in South America is beyond my common sense.<\/p>\n

That money could get someone a small hacienda to live in and have basic needs covered, including a vehicle.<\/p>\n

The journey is incredibly dangerous for many reasons.<\/h2>\n

Another example I cannot understand is the one depicted by\u00a0this Army defector and his family<\/a>.\u00a0Their gear consisted of a camping tent, boots, repellant, and $5000, a product for the sale of their belongings. I haven\u2019t seen that wad of cash that size in my whole life, to be honest.\u00a0Mentioning the wife that if the bandits kidnap their child, she will be very likely missing, and can\u2019t avoid her being assaulted\u2026<\/p>\n

Really?\u00a0Who is willing to take that risk?<\/p>\n

Sure, coming back means a certain death in the regime\u2019s dungeons, but at least Colombia or some other neighboring country offered that couple some sort of stability.<\/p>\n

Other people travel with camping stoves and some small light gas canisters. Canned goods, pasta, and rice are usual staples, too. No bottled water because it\u2019s heavy. Most people drink from the rivers. There are no such things as filtering devices, and I haven\u2019t heard of anyone boiling water.<\/p>\n

It is terrifying to read things like the plans of people willing to spend the night at the foot of the most dangerous mountain to climb\u2026only to discover that the stench of the rotting bodies<\/a>\u00a0was too much to stay there for too long. That\u2019s a nightmare-like situation.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t going to write about the\u00a0HIV-infected gangs<\/a>, but I reconsidered it to tell the whole entire story. (Warning! the link contains references to sexual violence)<\/p>\n

The readers must understand human behavior when there are no consequences or law enforcement forces nearby. And this is the XXI Century.\u00a0Extrapolate that behavior pattern of a crumbled society, and it can (it DID happen) arise wherever. One more reason to arm everyone to the teeth, if you ask me.<\/p>\n

Going through that with a small child\u2026thanks, but no thanks.\u00a0Putting the family\u2019s safety in the hands of strangers?\u00a0Too much to lose.\u00a0I find it hard to justify someone with that amount of money to migrate that way.<\/p>\n

You can appreciate in the pictures of\u00a0this article<\/a>\u00a0how some people walk even in slippers. With small children, leaving the country through the illegal\u00a0trochas<\/em>. Being robbed, harassed, and sometimes even killed.<\/p>\n

Though many are, please do note that not every person coming from Venezuela is a criminal.<\/p>\n

But every person is desperate.<\/p>\n

The people doing this are causing problems in your country.<\/h2>\n

I see a pattern here: the unreasonably high\u00a0murder rate increasing<\/a>\u00a0and the violent crimes and home invasions that are happening now in the US, in areas traditionally considered low-crime zones.<\/p>\n

It is incredible to see this kind of turmoil in a refugee shelter:\u00a0Illegals attacking officers to avoid an arrest.<\/a><\/p>\n

And when you realize a pattern like they mention in\u00a0this article<\/a>, informing that two cities of the American continent are invaded by the same gang\u00a0at the same time, is reasonable to start questioning what can be happening.<\/p>\n

At the end of\u00a0this article<\/a>, there is one of the most significant phrases: \u201d (\u2026) given the tense relationships between the US and Venezuela\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

How are criminals that should be in Venezuelan prison going to America?<\/h2>\n

For those of us born in the 80s, the name \u201cMariel\u201d doesn\u2019t say much. But\u00a0after a little research<\/a>, we find out that there is yet another cycle repeating itself:\u00a0criminals entering massively to the US<\/a>\u00a0from a country deeply linked to Eastern foreign powers and with close ties to rogue nations.<\/p>\n

If a regular citizen finds difficulties in leaving the country legally through a border (confiscation of little green thingies that uniforms love, for instance),\u00a0it is hard to understand how\u00a0criminals that were supposedly in jail in Venezuela end up appearing in places as far as Miami.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

My thoughts?<\/p>\n

There are two methods a criminal could bypass the safety measures in a border. One, they are impersonating some of their victims of former crimes with stolen IDs.<\/p>\n

As sinister as it sounds, finding someone resembling them and using their IDs to get out of Dodge, mixing up with the crowd crossing is not that hard these days. People disappear in Venezuela regularly without any trace. Leaving a few dead doppelgangers behind and taking their IDs shouldn\u2019t be that hard for someone with the scruples to do.<\/p>\n

The migration authorities usually don\u2019t have the means to verify fingerprints in these small border towns, and they issue temporary residence or transit-only permits, knowing that they leave the border soon and won\u2019t stay being a nuisance. On the other hand, there is another option to ponder. If the intention of sending criminals is seriously adopted by any government holding a grip on their ID system, it would not be a problem to re-issue a new identity document with a new name, keeping the same fingerprints and any other biometric data. You have had\u00a0an article about this<\/a>\u00a0on your website before.<\/p>\n

Who is behind all this?<\/h2>\n

The next questions are surely what is in the minds of everyone reading this. Is somebody paying for all this? Or organizing it? And if so, why?<\/p>\n

To determine the answer, historical data has to be reviewed. This is not anything new and\u00a0there is already a precedent<\/a>\u00a0that many politicians have tried to sweep under the rug: Castro\u2019s threat of the \u201cPlan Bravo\u201d in the middle 1990s.<\/strong><\/em> After all, he already had sent close to 8000 convicts camouflaged as \u201cimmigrants\u201d at the beginning of the 1980s.<\/p>\n

This news seems to be forgotten now:\u00a0Venezuelan passports<\/a>\u00a0were being sold at the embassy in Iraq (there is an English version in this link) and the much more recent detention of\u00a0Jihad members in Argentina<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I have seen plenty of videos with interviews of people traveling to the US by foot. I have noticed this: most of them are healthy young men in their 20s and physically fit. Not all of them are going to the shelters to avoid being screened by the migration authorities. On the contrary, very possibly they are lying low and integrating into some sort of network already in place.<\/p>\n

In one of those interviews, the man commented something that has been in my head ever since. \u201cThe US is going to be very different soon\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Whether he\u2019s a psychic with a crystal ball, or he attended some type of briefing and he\u2019s\u00a0on a mission<\/a>. The impact of so many people roaming on the streets may not look too much. But what will happen when (not \u201cif,\u201d but WHEN) the sleepers attend the call to generate turmoil on a country-wide scale?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sure, many of you will say, \u201cThat\u2019s why we have our 2nd Amendment\u201d.<\/p>\n

Trust me, you will hardly find someone to shoot at. They won\u2019t engage in direct conflict. Albeit I\u2019m not a military analyst by any means, their target is very likely\u00a0infrastructure and psyops on the society.\u00a0Be very vigilant of water reservoirs.<\/p>\n

Violent crime, increasing in number and frequency, could start overnight now.<\/p>\n

Do you remember the\u00a0recent 2019 turmoils in Chile<\/a>? All of it was organized and\u00a0executed by the leftist wing<\/a>.\u00a0These migrants from countries with regimes that are hostile towards the US should be carefully screened.\u00a0The consequences could be very high in the near future.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
