Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, September 22, 2024

Venezuelan migrants moving into Chicago's South Side have caught the attention of the city's gangs, with some fearing an impending turf war between local gangs and their Venezuelan counterparts. "When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or non-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It'll be blacks against migrants," Tyrone Muhammad, a former Chicago gangster who did 20 years in prison and now runs a violence prevention program, said in a report for the New York Post. The comments come as Chicago has seen an influx of Venezuelan migrants, according to the report, including members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.

With the arrival has come a rise in crime, locals told the New York Post, while some Venezuelan gangsters have started to encroach on the territory of the city's local gangs.

"There's been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody's even hearing about," Zacc Massie, a local Chicago gang member, told the New York Post. "They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don't get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app. He told me all the things he got going on; how they helped him get a car, an apartment, (EBT) card, all this stuff. They giving them thousands, we get maybe $400 a month. And they don't even have Social Security numbers!"

Fearmongering has become a Republican Family Value... and it's even worse with Trump as the Top Republican.

Immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than the U.S.-born (March 2024)
news.northwestern.edu

... Some Americans believe that undocumented immigrants are a criminal threat to society. Former President Donald J. Trump has leveraged this assumption to inflame the rhetoric around immigration from the U.S.-Mexico border.

A study co-led by Northwestern University economist Elisa Jcome provides the first historical comparison of incarceration rates of immigrants to U.S.-born citizens.

Using incarceration rates as a proxy for crime, a team of economists analyzed 150 years of U.S. Census data and found immigrants were consistently less likely to be incarcerated than people born in the U.S.

They also found beginning in 1960, the incarceration gap widened such that immigrants today are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than the U.S.-born. ...

imo, I think this whole anti-immigrant as criminals thing goes back to the root of the current Trump campaign.

As I noted in a comment on a different thread...

drudge.com

... More from the transcript [of Trump's September 18, 2024 speechspeech]...

... For every New Yorker being terrorized by this wave of migrant crime. I've been talking about migrant crime for five years. I said, if you let them in, it's going to be hell. They are vicious, violent criminals that are being led into our country. They're people that their countries, who are very smart, they don't want them. That's why all over the world, a lot of people coming from jails out of the Congo in Africa, where do you come from? The Congo. Where in the Congo? We come from jail. What did you do? We will not tell you. They're coming from the Congo. They're coming from Africa. They're coming from the Middle East. They're coming from all over the world. Asia. A lot of it coming from Asia.

(46:34)
What's happening to our country is we're just destroying the fabric of life in our country. We're not going to take it any longer. You got to get rid of these people. ...



... and then ...

... So, he seems to be railing against only non-white immigrants and Muslims.

In other words, if they are not white Christians, he does not want them in the Country. ...


So... is fmr Pres Trump's incessant railing against the crimes of immigrants because they commit more crimes than his base?

Or is that incessant railing due more to his apparent racist campaign?

Yeah, at this point, it seems all the MAGA folk have to offer are fabricated lies.

Sen Vance has admitted to that.


Imagine, a candidate for Vice president of the Untied States admitting that he just makes up lies, well, just because.


This is what the MAGA cult has dragged the politics in the Country to.
