Editor’s Note: While national news continues to either ignore skyrocketing retail theft or somehow blame it on climate change, there’s a component of the rise that’s being missed by most, even those in conservative media. The border crisis has been a huge reason for this spike which can be easily seen statistically.
Here’s the latest example of the border crisis hitting stores across America from Discern Reporter generated from corporate media reports:
Two additional Venezuelan migrants residing in Chicago were arrested on Friday for allegedly stealing merchandise worth hundreds of dollars from a suburban Macy’s, a store that has been a consistent target of retail theft by migrants during this holiday season, authorities reported.
Edys Alberto Herrera-Gotopo, 20, and Johan Gavidia-Rojas, 18, entered the Oak Brook, Illinois store together shortly after 7 p.m., each carrying empty bags, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors revealed that the two men collaborated, with one grabbing clothing items and stuffing them into a bag while the other served as a lookout. The roles were then switched before the duo left the store without paying, leading Oak Brook police to intercept them.
Herrera-Gotopo was taken into custody without incident, but Gavidia-Rojas led officers on a brief foot chase before being apprehended. The men were found in possession of $665 worth of stolen goods.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin emphasized, “The quick apprehension of the defendants in this case sends the message that law enforcement in DuPage County is ready for any would-be shoplifters and if you steal from any of our retail establishments, you will be arrested, charged, and prosecuted.”
Both men, originally from Venezuela and currently residing in Chicago, were charged with one count of retail theft, a felony. They were released after a judge denied the state’s motion to detain them pre-trial, with the condition that they are prohibited from entering the Macy’s in Oak Brook.
The Oak Brook Macy’s has been repeatedly targeted for retail theft, prompting authorities to advise locals and retailers to remain vigilant during the bustling holiday shopping season.
Last month, Oak Brook Deputy Chief of Police Reid Foltyniewicz warned of an increase in criminal activity involving Venezuelan migrants from Chicago after a series of retail thefts.
In recent weeks, at least nine Venezuelan migrants have been arrested for separate retail theft incidents at the Oak Brook Macy’s and a Kohl’s store in nearby Elmhurst.
With over 20,000 migrants pouring into Chicago since August 2022, the city continues to grapple with finding ways to accommodate them during the winter, as concerns over potential costs and risks to neighborhood safety are voiced by local residents.
Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
Bidens cabal have destroyed our sovereignty, and orchestrated a massive invasion of our country. The sneaky bstrds are attempting to import miserable hoards, who they will then make eligible to vote. The Demorats hope they will be able to swing the country Marxist, then rule forever.

They’re both on their way to New York or California
I am beginning to HATE THESE FACES TOO…well done LOSERS.
Not surprised at all by these thefts; remember when we heard Venezuela was emptying out its prisons and shipping them up to our open border? Well, here we go… this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The blame goes directly to the Democratic Party. They own the entire fiasco.
“Migrant” means foreign citizens holding a Migrant Work Visa. It does not mean the same thing as Illegal Alien.
We’ll send them to your place then
Illegal aliens aka unconvicted felons.
EVERY DEMOCRAT is the enemy. That is all.
DEMORATS OWN THIS! Be sure to let your dem associates know that they are to blame.
I just point and giggle
Biden and Mayorkas are specifically importing military-age male invaders by the millions. Can you guess what the Democrats have in mind?
Trump said it, “They are not sending their best”.
