After years of creating financial insecurity, Democrat policies are finally creating some jobs—unfortunately though, not the right kind of jobs. Here are the details, from a report at the Los Angeles Times on Saturday:

Sophisticated ‘burglary tourists’ fly from South America to rob wealthy homes, LAPD says

In the desert around Scottsdale, Ariz., on Monday, police officers hunted for a member of an international heist ring suspected of swiping jewels and luxury goods from homes across Los Angeles. Using helicopters and drones, they eventually found him hiding under a tree.

The wanted man, it turned out, was a 17-year-old from Chile.

Authorities say the teenager and his two adult accomplices later admitted to breaking into multiple homes, part of a growing trend of “burglary tourism” from South America.

…

Increasingly over the last five years, police officials say, thieves from South American nations have entered the U.S. for the purpose of committing robberies.

…

Once in the country, police say, they plan heist sprees and fence the loot before dispatching their earnings back home.

‘I can tell you that we have a significant increase in burglaries from organized groups that are outside this country, that are coming into the country, and they are targeting high-end residents,’ LAPD Chief Dominic Choi said….

As AOC might say, these thieves are just trying to feed their families.

In a perfect world only wealth Leftists get robbed as a result of the permissive policies they create. Unfortunately, the real world doesn’t work that way. Yet another reason to limit the spread of Leftist ideology as much as possible.

If they only had police and a border

[packagingguy]

It’s not fair that wealthy liberals are being robbed by “migrants”.

The “little people of flyover country” are the ones who are supposed to get robbed.

It’s as if the “migrants” didn’t get the message.

I am hearing Palm Desert is getting hit pretty hard with these gangs.

[brownsfan]

That’s awesome. I hope they leave those rich progressives with just a shell of a mansion.

Absolutely nailed it.

The plan was for the migrants to over run red places, not the liberal enclaves of wealth and privilege.

[Starboard]

The gangs are going to where the money is.

The elites thought they would be immune to the crime.

President Retard calls these thieves “temporary newcomers”

All the celebs and sports people and social media people brag about how much they got and show it off and they also say where they are like out of town so the crooks know where and when to “shop”.
