#NBCNews #Chile #SanDiego
Crime tourists. Thats a new one.
The Republican-led state of Texas has the most reported robberies in the United States with 22,208 reported cases.
Shopping in the US then go back home 😂
Chile is the only Latin American country that has the 90 days no visa needed entry to the US. Imagine if that same privilege was given to all of Latin America.
Lol what’s a stupid thing to say 😆
Have u seen the Ukrainian crime rings in the US and those ppl are let in indefinitely
Case and point ppl like this come from all over the place, oh and your an Ignorant
@J-Uglyz Italians have always been upstanding americans
@Majin Vegeta lol ok bud. not like i come from a Sicilian family and live in America or anything..
@Isra men exactly lol
@J-Uglyz lmaoo I was being sarcastic bro I know all about the reign of the Italian mafia from the 20s to the 90s
Robberies or burglaries? The news story mixes the two offenses as if they’re the same thing. One is more serious than the other.
Good point. The media uses the terms interchangeably. At common law the distinction was such that burglary would involve a dwelling/building and a robbery would be from a person. Then state statutes modified from there. I don’t know much more than that. Thanks for letting me ramble and pretend I’m smart. ❤
That’s Media for you.
obviously the maids their hiring gives them the layout
they’re***, not “their”, genius
that would explain how they know exactly where to look..
@Wesley Hempoli you knew what i meant didn’t you though? 🤨 go be a teacher in the classroom not on youtube
Exactly.
How’s that sanctuary city status working out for you
I know for a fact Colombians are involved in these types crimes
Tell us more
I know for a fact, Americans are too, Canadians, Mexico I’m sure is representing…
I had to tell you this lol
@Joe K I think that’s all lil turbo here has
I believe Ukrainian and Moroccan crime rings also exist here in the U.S
U.S. ***
Making sure the big guy gets his 10%.
Proof or b.s.?
There are crime rings in the US that are Italian, Russian, Chinese, Mexican, Jamaican, French, Gypsy, etc…Seems strange you singled out those two when this conversation is on one South American group.
You mean illegal immigrants are stealing in the US wow what a shocker. Thanks Sleepy joe
Illegals.
Yea here’s your illegal immigrants that biden let in
And this is why Mexicans hate South Americans.
thats why you have the right to bear arms, take advantage of it especially if you live in luxury
they werent home, einstein. It must be tough going through life not knowing what the word “burglary” means. Good luck with your problems bud
@Wesley Hempoli Someone can break into a house and burglarize it while people are home, Einstein.
@Cory C but here, now, on this video you and the other non-einstein are commenting on, clown.
Ding ding ding… Caught up to us yet?
@Cory C shud up……….
People should put fentanyl in needles and stick them on the cameras, then the burglar only has so long till his last crime is complete.
Why not Texas? Why cuz they got guns.
Nice. Thank u biden. 5 million illegals thru our borders. This is only the beginning……….
I just wish most Americans were brave and could protect themselves instead of cowering like rabbits in their own homes waiting to be robbed. Can’t they defend their own property?! Weird.
Anyone who breaks into my house when I’m home isn’t walking out
@Bots are everywhere so brave, such a brave brave internet big talker.
Oh hun, you’re a clown
You mean murder people…
While there not home…
Oh, big talker didn’t actually watch the video huh? Your just running off at the mouth about the title…
Shoosh clown, don’t you have any other outlets for attention?
Eat the rich
get it done
They need to have a bail that is high!!!! And then sent back, but wow a reason to be strict on immigration!!!
burglaries are an invasive violent crime
Suspend Chilean visas for one year
No
Forever.
Longer
We need more open borders
Woke policies. No bail! Great!
Democratic policies.
I love how easily we destroy your kind, we have si much power over you.
That’s why you and yours are always throwing tantrums “THOSE DARN DEMONRATS, HUUR DURR, THEYRE IPRESSING ME BIOHOO”
yes we are! All you can do is whine 😂
Come to my house and c what happens if you can escape me and my M4.
They come to Democrat hot spots because they know there will face no responsibly.
In their country they look for the softest on crime areas at attack.
It’s a joke and Democrat voters keep at it…
I have an idea. Let’s build a Wall 🧱
Hah hah hah…..keep voting blue. These people will be arrested, processed and released back in to the wild. That’s if they even spend the effort finding them.
Chile? Donald Trump would ban travel from Argentina.
They’re hitting up mansions. Good for them.
burglurlar lmao
This is what happens when we just let anyone come in
We? Let?
Calm down turbo, that’s adorbz you think you have any say who “we” “let in” LoL
Clown, I know what orange turd you voted for twice.
We let you in, so uh, you’re welcome
Exactly
Throw them out of the country now and never let them in ever again
Why? They’re doing our commie liberal work for us, and the longer they’re here doing what they do, the more tasty MAGAt tears, YUM!
honestly…i would enjoy having a better punishing for thiefs.
a ferroristic act on society could be the case called…it scares people at home to meet a thief at midnight in your home
Good, they ain’t hurting me or mine.
I have no sympathy for anyone that even has that much to be able to steal.
Double standard? Sure, but they created this division.
I. Cheering for the Chileans, sorry not sorry, screw the filthy rich.
*How many future crimes would be prevented if people were not released with low bail or no bail after being arrested?*
Putting them in jail first, when they seem a bit suspect, would prevent ALL crimes, even better.
Then Human Rights Watch would complain that the criminals rights were abused.
Bail for burglaries are never very high. Check out any state. Bails for robberies are high if you threatened violence or produced a weapon. At most, it would have been 500-1000 dollars for these clowns. My thing is, if you have a risk of flight, they should not let you go. If you are on a 90 day visa, you are leaving. Seems like they aren’t taking that into account.
@commandoslayerand? F em!!!
Cry more
God bless our USA justice system.
I guess those rich white folks better start paying for better house keepers or just pay the ones you have enough to not steal from you
How about closing the border
I mean, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if someone fed them a few 9mm rounds
Visa should be revoked and sent back home if you commit a crime during your stay!
@RJ RJ
DEMOCRATS WANT THEM BACK.
They’ll voted for this.
Thank you biden
Here’s an idea how about we stop letting them in the country?!
Thanks as always libs 👍
🤪
Queue racist comments.
???? What ? 😜
Defund the police right?
They are in/out because they work on these properties and/or are in with those whom do.
“Burglarers”? LOL
How do you allow bail for someone who is obviously a flight risk? Some common sense would be nice.
We need to start deporting more
It’s crazy how police in the most advanced civilization on Earth cannot catch a couple of backwards village folk from Chile wearing hoodies. This doesn’t happen in China.
Migrants
These people need to hire private militias to guard their streets.
Well, if the criminal cartels can do that, I don’t see why not. Citizen’s do have the 2nd Amendment right to!
how do they kno where the safe’s are located?? Smh
What a system. Catch and release just for fun
When you’re stupid and I mean REALLY stupid, you allow foreigners to bail and run.
Yes.
That STUPID
This no bail, low bail crap needs to end. And they wonder why Americans want to arm themselves. Do your job GOVERNMENT
@NBC News — A burglar burglarizes a location. The burglar commits burglary. Dana, dearheart, there is no such thing as a burglarER. Just a burglar. The verb is “to burgle”. There now. Isn’t that betterer ?
Thanks Biden!
Easy. Revoke every Chilean visa until it stops.
Just so people know most Chileans are very light skinned. I moved to Chile 6 years ago from the US. There is a lot of German influence in the country so they look almost European. Most are very intelligent and polite. If you speak Spanish or are familiar with the language Chileans speak a very distinct version of Spanish; sometimes not understood by Spanish speakers from Mexico, Peru or Columbia. We have a complicated history with Chile politically. I think it is reasonable to tighten entry requirements now because of the social issues in the country currently. If they are coming for 90 days, without concrete proof of money to pay for their stay that is verified, they are coming to do the robberies.
I am Chilean, my mom and my dad had visit me couple of times with the 90 days waiver. Ask them to have $3000 to entry as tourists is unrealistic knowing how low are the salaries and the retirements. Most likely those guys have already criminal record back there, I think with some extra data exchange it would be enough to stop many of them, and also check if they are on bail before take a plane back. Plus I bet those guys are a small percentage of the waiver users.
Either way you gotta catch them and send them to jail in their country. Also they can get killed by owners.
Biden let them in LGB
Who cares I was a thief at one time until I got tired of doing time and now work for what I want in life
So if we had their visa information, we could ask Chile to lock them up, right?
No way … where is the GUNS
Put them on no fly lists, maybe that would help. 😂😂
whoaaaaa………. thats messed up.
They’re in my town in Oregon too. They hang around my yard with a huge handheld antenna they’re trying to hack in my computer continuously. I hate them so much I go to sleep imagining myself smashing out their windows ad reining terror on them. We ought to get a posse to go down there and rob them back.
Gotta love the system. Steal $100,000. Post $10,000 bail, and disappear. Great deal for the burglars.
Lies they are not coming on visas they are crossing our open southern borders thanks to the democrats duhhhhhhh, and I hope all the houses they rob are democrats 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How are they allowed in on 90 day visas? Then we’re cslled racist for demanding vetting? I’m an immigrant I came here in 1974 it took my parents 7 years to get us here after all the vetting and proof we needed. Like jobs waiting for us, sponsors in this country, and background checks…oh but wait we are from Sicily escaping the Mafia and not whining about it…wheh we came here there was no press 2 for Spanish 🙄🙄
‘Sanctuary” city/state. Thanks Democrats!
They are children of the devil.
BUILD THAT WALL!
Know what your states law is as most states have a version of the Castle Doctrine and just don’t give them the option of being arrested and then bailed out. Criminals are not worried about being arrested anymore most places but they starting to worry about victims that refuse to be victims anymore
The Feds will add the Rico Act.
What? They dint do nuftin wrong …. Could he ave been the Obama boys… right big mike?
Get from under that tree Mathew!!!
Is that a tall, blonde Chilean?
À MEXICO THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT COLUMBIA HAVE ALL EMPTIED OUT THEIR PRISONS AND WERE KICKING PEOPLE OUT OF THE COUNTRY TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES ARE GOVERNMENT WAS FOOLISH AND DIDN’T REALIZE THIS AND THEN SOME STORY CAME ABOUT A JAILBREAK WHEN ALL ALONE THEY WERE SENDING BAD PEOPLE TO OUR BORDER AND IN SOME CASES HELP THEM
Thank your Democratic colleagues and, voters.
Open borders..
Anyone else 😆 🤣 Thank ur DEMRATS!!
Mis compatriotas, con el nuevo gobierno “woke” estos personajes serian recibidos como heroes por la gente por robar “a los ricos” un chiste!!
This trend has been going on for years, they come in as tourists & leave as soon as needed to avoid arrest. Some of them committed same crimes in L.A. Co
Bail reform smh – they can’t do anything right.
These people have no respect for the USA. Their passports should have been confiscated.
The worst uni in the world is Assumption university of Thailand. A step on campus increase the chance of being killed. Recorder is everywhere, after stealing, AU posted and uploaded your voice chat from your teachers office. Stay away from this school of hatred by teachers and students is the best choice. Hundreds of teachers have no right degrees.
I am from Chile. We are fed up with thieves and muggers. The guaranteed judicial system frees a good number of criminals. A good part of criminals are under 18 years of age. They don’t go to jail.
Ad to this bad criminal situation in my country, we received thousand of migrant. Specially from Venezuela. Also from central america people. Between these, a lot of delinquents. The murders were up the last time.
One of the criminal activities is car theft, using assault in the streets. Other two cars, one in the back and the other in front of the victim car. threatening with guns to the driver, Forces him to give them the vehicle. Everyday many assault happens.
in chile unfortunately thievery is an expertise in every form, they ones that go overseas are called “international thieves” they used to go to europe at first now they are everywhere
This is what you get when you let everyone across the border…
When they return to Chile, they are received as heroes in their neighborhoods and, worst of all, most do not do it out of necessity. In Chilean criminal culture, it is fashionable and robbing Europe gives them prestige
OPEN THE BORDERS, OPEN THE PRISONS, BAN GUNS! WEAR YOUR MASK!
