Criminals posing as asylum seekers are turning American cities into war zones.

The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, feared for how it tortures its victims, is setting up shop in New York City, police sources revealed to The Post.

Gang members recruit migrants from shelters and as they come off buses from Texas, putting them to work in retail-theft rings or on mopeds grabbing phones and handbags and roughing up pedestrians.

“This is organized crime. It’s just like the Mafia,” says Paul DiGiacomo, president of the city’s Detectives’ Endowment Association.

NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban warns of a “wave of migrant crime.”

Democratic pols deny it.

Gov. Hochul says migrants “are looking for a better life.”

True for many, not all.

City Comptroller Brad Lander accuses Caban of “fearmongering” and using a “Republican talking point.”

Believe the cops, not the pols.

Migrants in moped gangs and retail-theft rings, some carrying guns, are terrorizing the Big Apple, Yonkers and New Jersey.

America's large cities are lost, with very few exceptions.
No one (inside their city limits) can save them.
The political will doesn't exist, and the worse they become, the louder the leftist cries inside increase.

Forces OUTSIDE OF the city limits could restore order, but only in the form of military intervention and quasi-martial law. That's probably not going to happen.

The "best use" of the big cities going forward will be to serve as "containers" of blight, concentrating it therein, and hopefully confined pretty much therein. Kind of like "Escape from New York", writ nationally...
