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.
While he is authorized to work and be in the US, he didn't want to be associated with crime and asked that his name be withheld.
'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.

I had a friend who started delivering Instacart when the lockdown started. For a while it was really good. But after a while some group created a program to skim off a lot of the best orders. But I have no idea who it was.
If they show up at my house ,well lets just say don’t.
cash USED to be king. now QWAPISKING!(couldn’t help myself)
If they admit to 1 million, from Venezuela alone, do you really believe that a total of only 10 million have entered illegally during Biden's term? I'd bet it's a least twice that number.
When I go into fast food restaurants, the only people I see picking up delivery orders appear to be “migrants.”
A wireless transmitter was connected to the back of the phony plant, likely feeding live images to an unknown location...

There was a discussion here on FR recently about the need to take a room scanner with you when travelling to check out the hotel room for hidden cameras etc. A survey of one’s own property once in a while isn’t a bad idea too. As pointed out in this article, a dedicated device is the best but even a cellphone will do the trick... https://alfred.camera/blog/how-to-detect-hidden-cameras/
Thanks for posting that... I’ll be checking my credit card company today....
These "invaders" were invited in. No, they should properly be called "parasites".
Wife and I cook our own food... a novel concept to many apparently. Gonna suck for them when the SHTF.
The closest pizza delivery ends about 9 miles from us as well so we do our own pickup on Friday’s if we get one after a stop at the brewery.
We’ve had Chase credit cards for decades, but their solution was poor compared to Cap One.
Same here.
Won’t be long until Amazon is hiring them for delivery and Amazon has that program where they can unlock your garage door to put in a package.
“Or to case your home and evaluate your ability to defend your home.”
How does one ascertain the tactical capabilities of a homeowner while standing outside of the house while holding a pizza and a gallon of soda pop?
one more reason i don’t use them...
