Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are illegally working as food delivery drivers across America, DailyMail.com can reveal, showing up to your door under names and identities that don't belong to them.

The troubling development is a consequence of the one million Venezuelan citizens who have flooded into the US, largely illegally, during President Joe Biden's time in office, with many entering through the US-Mexico border.

It raises huge concerns about the safety of the home delivery apps and the consumer's ability to trust who is actually delivering food to their home and family - with customers' personal information potentially placed in the hands of dangerous street gangs.

Venezuelans tell DailyMail.com they gravitated toward the jobs because they're an easy way to make money when they first arrive in the US.

'Before I even left Venezuela to come here, I knew I could rent an account that wasn't mine to work in food delivery,' one South American migrant who works as a DoorDash driver in Dallas, Texas, explained.

As soon as you arrive to the US, the first thing you do is look for a way to make money, and for many of us, that's food delivery,' he added.

But many brazenly rent or sell their food delivery app accounts on Facebook.

The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area is now home to at least 20,000 Venezuelans, most of whom have arrived since 2021.

New arrivals know it's as easy as joining Facebook groups for Venezuelans in DFW to start earning cash as a food delivery driver - albeit for a fee.

Many voices in the Venezuelan community fear that could be the case, as the notorious super gang Tren de Aragua from their homeland has also arrived in the US.

---

This gang (TDA) is no joike and extremely violent. They should be put down like rabid animals when they're caught.

'It's really suspicious to me that so many Venezuelans are working in the same job.'

The Bay Area of California has also been flooded with food delivery drivers from her home country, the Venezuelan attorney shared.

Velasquez fears TDA gang members, described as the epitome for evil for the human and sex trafficking that made them infamous, could soon start showing up at people's home.

'Organized crime is always going to find a way. It's going to be hard to tell the good people from the bad people,' she added.

A woman visiting the Dallas area for Fourth of July had her car hit by a Venezuelan driver who was using a delivery app that wasn't his, reported the local Fox station.

''Screech!' I was praying like please don't let that be my car,' Elena Hollopeter told the outlet.

'I know that's my car, but please don't let it be my car.'

Hollopeter's parked car had $4,000 worth of damages after the migrant crashed into it in a Frisco, Texas neighborhood.

The driver was making a delivery from Walmart via an app called Spark.

'We realized that this driver did not have registration or driver's license, as well as he was uninsured,' she said.

Quote:

---

When she tried to go to Walmart to get the mega-retailer to pay for her repairs, they told her they were not responsible since the Venezuelan was driving for a third-party app.

It was only after the Oklahoma resident went to the media and the station aired the story that Walmart agreed to covered the costs.

The driver who hit Hollopeter's car is not an authorized driver on the Spark platform, Walmart confirmed.

A different person, who meet all the requirement to drive under the Sparks platform, let the migrant frequently make deliveries under their name.

Becareful out there folks. The last thing you want is the TDA to have your personal info, and know where you live, especially if you own a lot of nice things. The TDA will happily rape and kill you and your family for what you have. I'd think twice before using these services, just get off your ass and go pickup your food. Maybe that's just me though.

Lucky for me, I only use Door Dash when having food delivered to the county jail. Venezuelan migrants are more than welcome to rob that place.

These apps are nothing but search engines. Many mom and pop restaurants are stilll delivering their own food, especially Chinese restaurants.

I don't get DoorDash very often, but this could explain why I see couples that don't seem to speak English or know how to drive drop off the food when I do.

Won't discourage me from using DD, but I may have to tell the rib not to anymore.

This is the next best answer after not using them period. The last thing anyone would want is a TDA evil **** knowing your wife and kids are home alone because you're out of town for business or working late. I doubt you could live with yourself should the worst happen to them. Jmo

Perfect excuse to stop eating processed slop and get healthy again. Eat food as close to its natural state as possible. Fresh meat, eggs, non starch vegetables. Enjoy

It's big up here in DC, they all hang out together on the mopeds the handlers give them to do these door dash etc jobs weaving in and out of traffic while ignoring all traffic laws. They are pretty annoying

Isn't this just Kamala finding them work and solving the root causes as Border Czar?

They are here in Denver. They don't speak a lick of English and will show you their phone with the address to get help. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

Doordash, Walmart and the rest better get their crap together and filter these individuals. If someone is harmed by one of these illegals, they will own Doordash.

Pretty terrifying. ****ing democrats. Thanks, Kamala, border tsar extraordinaire.

Can't believe people actually use these services.

if you are able bodied and have your own means of transportation, there is no reason to pay $30 for a private taxi for your burrito other than pure laziness

My next door neighbor could have put his kids through college the amount he spends on these services. Everything is delivered from food to booze to groceries. At least once a day and sometimes twice.

Hearing this story makes me a little nervous living next to him because they likely aren't just casing the place and situation of the person placing the orders..

Never use them. I see the hoopity paper tag cars they drive in houston to deliver food and want no part of them having access to my food or house. Nope.

I've had this thought many times while sitting in the back of an Uber with a driver that speaks no English… they say the next terror attack will not be like 9-11 but more like Oct 7th. Could you image a coordinated attack where delivery drivers, Uber drivers etc carried out an attack at the exact same time? Millions of Americans could be taken hostage or killed in a matter of minutes. Scary stuff.

Based on my experience with Door Dash, I'll get an alert saying the attack will start in 23-28 minutes, but then it doesn't actually start for like 50-55 minutes.

And the attack only has a $.39 delivery fee, but charges you $46 for mileage and tip.

Door Dash is a great option if you don't care about what might/might not end up in your food.

The app/service companies definitely need to be more diligent and secure with vetting their actual employees, as the "renting" of accounts no doubt happens.

But violent gang members delivering your DoorDash in order to rob/kidnap you sounds like the modern day gang headlight flashing or razor blades in candy.

A violent gang member doesn't need to deliver your Crunchwrap Supreme and Baja Blast in order to case your house. And if you are actually interacting with your food delivery people then you are doing it wrong - food can be delivered to our porch, it doesn't need a face-to-face.

Now, someone who willingly gets into an uber/lyft with someone they trust was heavily vetted is a different story - but honestly you have far, far greater risks with those drivers being insanely poor drivers leading you to an accident than you do any kind of abduction.

If you aren't cooking your own food (or eating solely at high end restaurants), then you've routinely eaten things in your food you had no idea about.

And, due to the widespread nature of the attacks, any police response would be delayed and uncoordinated because they couldn't figure out what was happening and where it was happening from the huge amount of 911 calls from different places reporting different situations.

The public would be on their own.

Carry and be aware of your surroundings.

Yeah, that estimate seems a bit high. If it was an organized attack of 10,000 Uber and food drivers, they'd each have to kill / kidnap 100 people to get to even 1 million. Most of the ones I've encountered are not nearly that motivated. They won't even drive back around when they forget my milkshake from Chik-fil-A.

Can confirm this is happening with Uber. They're splitting the accounts between one phone. My wife and I went to dinner the other night and called a car. Well a car showed up and was a different license plate than what the app told us. The guy showed us his app to show he was the driver. We bailed on the driver because he wouldn't answer the question as to why his car didn't match the one on the app. Stay vigilant bros.

Door Dash is a great option if you like paying twice the amount you'd normally pay for the same food if you picked it up yourself, and don't care about an additional person, (who's cooperation depends on how much you pay them), having complete control over the food you already paid for and will ingest.

FIFY

I'm still stuck on 20,000 Venezuelans in Dallas. I think 20,000 Venezuelans should be in Venezuela.

Maybe 10 non violent Venezuelans in Dallas for vacation would seem reasonable.

Somebody buy MegaBus and MAGA their ass back to Venezuela.

I don't do delivery and have never understood it.

1. I'm not paying delivery fees and tips to make something that should cost $13 cost $20, instead. Talk about a waste of money that could instead go into a retirement fund.
2. I hate cold/soggy food. There's no way the person delivering my food cares enough to pick it up quickly and get it on my table quick enough that it isn't cold or soggy.
3. I don't trust these people to handle my food.

I just don't understand this whole Uber Eats/Door Dash thing. I haven't had food delivered to my house since 2008.

I saw I guy living out of his car using the door dash bag for his dirty smelly hipster clothes.Cannot unsee, lol, just physically not able to order.

Door dash is ass,

I don't like getting into an uber with my family and luggage and saying take me to the airport. They know the house is empty.

This is not just an immigrant issue. There is a high rate of these delivery drivers who also have warrants for all sorts of crimes beyond just traffic. Many of these people don't want or can't get full time employment so they do this as their main job.

Source: my wife is in law enforcement and a good chunk of those she sees list "uber/door dash/grubhub" as their occupation. We do not use these services because we don't invite felons to our house.

Back during covid, I started using HEB's Curbside service. Every time I picked up groceries, the pickup area -- located on the side of the store unlike most HEBS -- was filled with African immigrants just loitering around, talking loudly to one another, walking in and out of the store, etc.

One day I had an older woman bring my groceries out. I asked her, "Who are all these guys and why are they always here?" She said "Oh, those are the Favor delivery drivers. They don't want to go home between deliveries so they just hang out here."

I told her it looked trashy and unsafe and if I was a woman, I would never order groceries from that store again.

Long story short, within a few weeks they had banned those guys from hanging out and eventually, they changed the entire pickup area to the front of the store where it is more visible. You still see them, but now they just sit in their beaters with the fake plates.

Every time I roll through the Freebirds line I always question my decisions.

Then for about 30 minutes I don't question my decisions.

Then for about an hour I question my decisions.

I use Doordash only when they send me coupons. That is rare these days. Their rates are inflated, it is cheaper to call the restaurant myself. It's a nice drive to get the food. No need to tip some undeserving fellow.
