The crisis surrounding our wide-open southern border and the flood of illegal immigration into the country just seems to get worse day by day. On Tuesday, an exclusive New York Post article detailed how the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang is forcing illegal immigrant women into prostitution to pay for their being smuggled into the United States.

The vicious Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua is luring desperate women deep into the heart of the US, forcing them to sell their bodies on the streets of American cities to pay off exorbitant smuggling fees, a newly leaked law enforcement document obtained by The Post reveals.
At least eight states have seen an explosion in migrant prostitution since the gang laid down roots in the US, with authorities in Texas, Nevada, Illinois, California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and New York now fighting to curtail the sex trade, the memo shows.
And the victims may be operating out in the open on the streets of New York City. On Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, sex workers and madams openly ply their trade on sidewalks.
The gangs in question are brazen; many suspected gang members were part of a huge rush on the southern border that overwhelmed Border Patrol agents, and the Ten de Aragua gang has already been implicated in running two brothels in New York City across the street from two elementary schools.

This latest report may still be only the tip of the iceberg.
The violent Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua has taken over a hotel in the Texas border city of El Paso — turning into a hub of fighting, drinking and hard-partying behavior, authorities say.
The cops have been called nearly 700 times to the Gateway hotel.
Surveillance footage shows one man wielding a hatchet, others were spotted with knives and at least one man was seen firing a gun inside, the El Paso County Attorney said.
Much of this activity happened while children were present.
All of this begs the question: Why are these people not being deported?
It’s widely known that most, if not all, of the members of Tren de Aragua are in the United States illegally. Many of their victims, while we are inclined to be somewhat more charitable to them, are also in the country illegally. And unlike previous waves of immigration, these people aren’t here to “make better lives for their families.” These criminal gangs are here to prey on other immigrants and Americans alike, and there can be no place for them here.
Venezuela has stated that it won’t accept deported Venezuelans. It’s hard to imagine the pipsqueak Maduro dictating terms to the United States of America, and perhaps, say, in January, we’ll have some stronger leadership in the White House that will take the obvious action of simply giving these people one-way tickets to Caracas and making sure they get off the plane at the far end.
