Chicago's Black Gangs Threaten War With Migrants

 The New York Post reported this weekend that "Chicago gangbangers rage against newly arrived Venezuelan migrants as Tren de Aragua moves in: ‘City is going to go up in flames’." The Post interviewed former gang members, current gang members, and black advocates and they are all saying the same thing: the black community is fed up with the perks and benefits showered on illegals, including being treated more leniently by the criminal justice system. And the TdA gangs rapid advances have the black gangs talking about gang wars.

    The article relates:

    [F]ormer gangbanger Tyrone Muhammad ..., who’s gone straight and runs a street patrol and violence prevention program called Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change says Venezuelan criminal gangs flooding shelters and taking over apartment buildings are the last straw for the struggling African-American community. He says they are furious at seeing government money going to what they call “non-citizens.”

    “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 article goes on to mention that over the past two years, the city of Chicago has spent about $500 million on just 42,000 migrants. "Many have been given money for rent, food stamp cards and even cars — and some landlords have pushed out local African-Americans because they can get more government money for housing migrants." The article goes on to describe how one shelter was outright lying about there not being any crime in the shelter, despite 720 police call outs to that shelter alone. According to police reports, calls to four shelters involved "sex trafficking, child porn, drugs, carjackings, weapons and excessive spousal violence" and the illegal sale of firearms within the shelters. And notwithstanding claims to the contrary, TdA gang members openly hang out in front of or near to the shelters. 

    “The real issue is that America has allowed gangs to enter our country,” said a young Gangster Disciples member, David, standing on a high-volume drug-dealing corner near Martin Luther King Blvd.

    “Gangs that they would consider ex-terrorist groups. They let terrorist groups into our country!” he yelled angrily to the Post.

    “There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about,” Zacc Massie, 27, a street leader who first went to prison in 2015 and just recently got out.

    “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! “

    Black P Stone member Corey Rogers took The Post on a drive through the area and pointed out several locations where he said Venezuelan gangs have been “showing the flag,” meaning brandishing their guns. He also showed a reporter a gang Whatsapp thread with texts from gang members threatening turf wars with the Venezuelans.

As Robert Conquest has noted, "Everyone is conservative about what he knows best." And so, while blacks may not like Trump, the people interviewed were unhappy with the Democrats having sold them down the river, so to speak, and talk of growing support for Trump in the black Chicago communities. 

    But if nothing else, the comments in the article presage gang violence between the established black gangs and the newer, but more organized, immigrant gangs like TdA.
