Michigan’s Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard is warning residents that gangs of illegals are targeting high-end homes, particularly during spring break vacations, according to WXYZ-TV Detroit. Breitbart notes that the area is one of Michigan’s wealthiest counties, which voted heavily for Joe Biden in 2020.
The organized migrant gangs of home invaders are quite strategic in their effforts: “People ask what community or what neighborhood. It’s not community or neighborhood specific. It is target-homes specific. Very high-end homes with probably high worth valuables in the home that back up to an obscure golf course, wooded area, pond. Whatever gives them access to come in unobserved,” Bouchard said.
Breitbart reports that Oakland County is Michigan’s fourth wealthiest county, according to a 2023 report at MLive.com and has a median household income of nearly $93,000 a year. Meanwhile, the state’s median household income is about $68,000. Oakland also voted heavily in favor of Joe Biden in 2020, giving Biden 56.36% of the vote, or 433,982 total votes for the Democrat.
The Washington Post worries that Trump’s narrative blasting Biden for the border crisis is beginning to resonate “beyond his base” and among those who might otherwise vote Democrat, writing, “But in a potentially worrying sign for Biden, Trump’s message appears to be resonating with key elements of the Democratic coalition that Biden will need to win over this November.”
The publication added that two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden’s record for handling border security and that number is rising monthly. It is also rising among Democrat voters with 55 percent of blacks and 73 percent of Hispanics disapproving of Biden’s border record.
Other states have also been dealing with rings of criminal gangs made up chiefly of migrants, including deep blue Illinois and New York, adds Breitbart.
