Armed Venezuelan gang memebers are stealing oil, copper wire, diesel fuel and catalyst elements from Texas oil fields in West Texas, according to a memo issued to employees.

According to the memo obtained by LibsofTikTok, a Texas-based oil company issued a memo to employees warning them about security concerns from violent migrant gangs.

Venezuelan gang members are using vehicles to run workers and witnesses off the road as they steal oil and diesel fuel.

Per the memo:

Dr. McCullough on the “Serious Problem” Spike Protein Poses to Our Health

Industry peers and law enforcement in West Texas (WTX) are aware of a recent increase in organized criminal activity inclusive of violent crimes, gang activity and oil field thefts in and around WTX operational areas. Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI advised that gang members emanating from Cuba and Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within the Permian Basin. These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature and will not hesitate to use force.

I remember about 15 years ago Dallas had huge fences around apartment complexes.

I never saw that elsewhere at the time.

The co-op complex my friend in DC lived in later put up such fencing.

If a state Governor just simply said that he would pardon immediately anybody who committed an act against an illegal alien no matter what this could be stopped pretty quickly

I would have thought it would be open season on gangs in Texas.

Do they have a refinery? Why steal oil?

There is a black market for everything. Oil is 70 dollars a barrel. Steal a 100 barrels = 7000 dollars. You then take it to a small independent producer and sell it to him for 35 dollars a barrel, yes this happens. Thus the thief and the independent corrupt producer are 3500 dollars ahead. There will be an American oilfield hand in the theft ring as they know the equipment. He may be white or Mexican but he will be an American or possibly an illegal that has been here for years and speaks English well.

Eventually that oil will make its way to a legitimate refinery and the refiners such as Exxon, Mobile, Texaco, etc. will buy it at the market price.

No worries. They are modern day Robinhood, robbing the rich corporations and rich Americans. Same thing communist Kamala does.

Been happening way before Biden. Same s**t under Bush, without the fentanyl. Back then it was predominantly cocaine...

During Bush’s 8 year rule, the illegal population in places like S. CA and Texas grew by millions of illegals. So bad it never recovered from that posers rule.

Doesn’t mean workers are personally protected.
Just that regardless of the outcome, you lose your job.

Most fellas ARE protected.
We just don’t talk of it.
The DEI soi-bois will report you. 😂😂

So your suggestion for “weapons” we should be using against the armed Venezuelan gang insurgency attacks on U.S. civilians would be “probation for association”, and “fencing” erected around apartment buildings?

Got any more great ideas?

Just who the hell are you, anyway?

And WTF are you doing on Free Republic?

But I have read 1000 times more posts attacking H1-B visa workers who never rob anybody, never kill anybody, and work at competitive wages to benefit their American employers.

What are they going to do with the oil? They can’t sell it without a permit.
