Tren de Aragua vs. Chicago’s South Side Gangs

It’s almost like the Democrats want a race war in the Windy City.

When this administration allowed and facilitated an invasion through our southern border, it knew there would be consequences. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their underlings knew there would be a rise in crime, an inability to assimilate, and a huge national security risk — but our police-protected Democrat leaders and bureaucrats did it anyway and called us crazy for pointing it out.

Why? Because in their enclaves of privilege, the conflict doesn’t really affect them. You know who it does hit? Everyday low- and middle-class Americans. This is particularly true in big cities.

What’s even worse is that Democrats have imported dangerous criminal gangs that are setting up shop all across the United States. The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TDA) made headlines earlier this month by taking over an apartment building in Aurora, Colorado, and forcing Americans from their homes.

Unfortunately, this is happening elsewhere in the U.S.

For example, TDA has set up shop in Chicago, and inner-city gangs there are ready to boil over. The South Side of Chicago is known as the gang sector. Ergo, TDA members have moved in and begun encroaching on some of the different gangs’ territories.

Former convict-turned-community safety activist Tyrone Muhammed is trying to get the attention of those in power who might be able to stop what’s coming. He told the New York Post, “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.”

The Post also interviewed several gang members in the South Side. According to one seasoned gangbanger fresh from a prison stint, “There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about. 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!”

Another gang member ironically explained, “The real issue is that America has allowed gangs to enter our country. Gangs that they would consider ex-terrorist groups. They let terrorist groups into our country!”

The general sentiment among the various Chicago gangs is that they have enough problems with their turf wars with one another, and the last thing they need is TDA coming in and upping the ante. Frankly, the gangbangers killing each other is already the biggest source of murder in the city.

While tensions and fears of an all-out gang war are rising throughout the neighborhoods, Chicago’s Democrat Party isn’t helping the matter. In some regards, it seems to be egging it on.

One white Democrat had the audacity to post signs all across Chicago a few weeks ago calling out black people for hating on the immigrants. The black community responded in an impressive way. One lady directly addressed the Chicago city council and demanded that the signs be taken down from her community. She also accused the Democrats of “using black people to find a reason to make some money” and get more power. She then told all the people in her community to leave the Democrat Party to save their children and their jobs.

A reporter for African Diaspora News also addressed the same signage in the black communities. She was equally furious, though she didn’t go quite so far as to call for a Blexit. She said: “So yeah, when you see the migrants going into the black neighborhoods and getting all their is to get education, housing, money, food, and you name it. And black people like: ‘Hey, what about us? We voted you in office to help us, not everybody else. Now, if you want to help everybody else, that’s great, but you don’t help them first; you help us first.’”

The black community in deep-blue Chicago is tired of the Democrat policies that are putting Americans like themselves last.

They say that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Perhaps the blacks in Chicago should give Republicans a chance instead of returning to the same old Democrat song and dance.
