Resentment against Albuquerque ‘deliveristas’ may have sparked viral Walmart ICE arrest

“Drivers are taking matters into their own hands. I know I sat on the hotline for over an hour and a half,” Zack said of calling ICE recently. “But I couldn’t get through.”

Other drivers made calls to the hotline about “deliveristas” whom he knows often gather at the north end of the parking lot of a Rio Rancho Walmart parking lot, he said.

On June 5, a team of federal law enforcement agents swept the Rio Rancho Walmart, detaining as many as a dozen “deliveristas” from Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia and elsewhere, according to delivery drivers who either witnessed the arrests or personally knew people detained.

Brian Nobes, a supervisor at First Convenient Bank inside the store, worked the day the arrests occurred and told Source he personally knew several of the drivers, whom he said disappeared from the store the day after the arrests.

Witnesses and others estimate agents arrested as many as 12 people during the Rio Rancho sweep. At least three of them remain in jail, according to fellow “deliveristas,” though none has been confirmed to be deported yet, they said…

There was a story about this earlier this year I posted about. Usually, one person, can get an ID, then sign up for multiple delivery accounts. Then he/she will rent out the accounts to illegals - it’s a big business. It’s corrupt from the beginning, but multiples itself down the line.

How do these illegals get cars, licenses, registrations?

You can thank George W. Bush for his Partnership for Prosperity Agreement (with Mexico). That made all of this possible.

He, along with Congress, changed the banking rules so that Mexican illegal aliens could use Mexico's phony Matricula Consular card as valid identification to open US bank accounts, obtain US credit cards, apply for and receive auto, home and business loans.

Many US states issue driver licenses to illegal aliens and there's no laws that state an auto cannot be registered to a foreign national.

Below is a brief snippet. For additional details, visit my FR home page.

On February 16, 2001, just 3 weeks after his inauguration, President George W. Bush met with Mexican President Vicente Fox to discuss the terms of the Partnership for Prosperity Agreement (with Mexico). (See: Partnership for Prosperity Agreement (with Mexico))

The P4P agreement was signed on September 6, 2001.

On October 26, 2001, Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 into law. Contained in section 326(b) was the provision that allowed US banks to accept the Mexican Matricula Consular card as valid ID for opening a bank account.

Congress sent a request for opinion to Bush's Treasury Dept. about 326(b). Bush's Treasury responded:

“The proposed rules set forth the requirement that financial institutions would have to establish a customer identification and verification program applicable to all new accounts that are opened, regardless of whether the customer is a U.S. citizen or a foreign national. While the proposed rules prescribe minimum standards for such programs, they leave sufficient flexibility to permit financial institutions to tailor their program to fit their business operations. The customer identification program would have to contain reasonable procedures for identifying any person, including a business, that opens an account, setting forth the type of identifying information that the financial institution will require. At a minimum, for U.S. persons the proposed rules would require financial institutions to obtain the following information: name, address, taxpayer identification number, and, for individuals, date of birth. While a taxpayer identification number is not required for non-U.S. persons, a financial institution must describe what type of information it will require of a non-U.S. person in place of a taxpayer identification number. The regulations state that financial institutions may accept one or more of the following: a U.S. taxpayer identification number; a passport number and country of issuance; an alien identification card number, or the number and country of issuance of any other government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard.”

This also contained a footnote (17):

“Thus, the proposed regulations do not discourage bank acceptance of the ‘matricula consular’ identity card that is being issued by the Mexican government to immigrants.” (See: Treasury Department Issues USA PATRIOT Act Report to Congress)

“....according to delivery drivers who either witnessed the arrests...”


Meaning they didn’t arrest everyone, only those who are in the country illegally. The system works!

In the big cities (like San Francisco) large groups of all Mexican/Central American men with an occasional woman congregate in high demand areas on their electric bikes, holding several phones, waiting to deliver for Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc.

It is well known that most if not all are illegals working under false accounts which are up for sale on various sites. That or they are working to pay off smugglers with fake ids and they are making very little money.

Americans who used to do this work to pick up some extra cash or have a low commitment pick up job are priced out. These guys might make $5/hr.

Rio Rancho used to be a pretty decent town to live in. I guess that’s not true any more.

It’s probably still better than the crapholes the illegals came from, and that’s what really matters. /s

Not only taking jobs from willing US citizens but done with a
sense of entitlement.

I used to live there, and one of my friends was a RR cop. He said they had special ways to keep the gangbangers from misbehaving. That’s why there was almost no graffiti there.

Of course, I haven’t lived there for almost 20 years, and I know things haven’t improved since then.
