While we all anxiously await January 20th and Tom "The Hammer" Homan's taking over the role of border czar from the inept and incapable Kamala Harris, the illegal immigrants keep coming, and so do the evil-doers and goblins that are among them. The notorious Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang, is now reportedly operating in 18 American states, the latest of which is Utah.

A Venezuelan dissident who is running for office in Utah warned that local authorities “are not ready” to deal with Tren de Aragua — as the vicious prison gang has expanded its territory to at least 18 states.

Carlos Moreno, who is running for Salt Lake County Council in District 2, spoke out after Tren de Aragua gangbangers have been linked to at least two separate crimes in the Beehive State capital — including an alleged prostitution ring.

“Our law enforcement people are not ready,” Moreno told The Post.

“They are not ready yet to face these kinds of gangs in Utah because the way that they do things are totally different than the criminals here in the United States,” the city council hopeful continued.

“That’s why people right now are very afraid. And they don’t want these kinds of people in the United States.”

It's a safe bet that not even other illegal immigrants want these gang members around; such criminal gangs are likely part of the reason they left their homes in the first place.

Here's the onion:

Tren de Aragua members embedded themselves in the large waves of migrants who arrived at the US-Mexico border under the Biden administration. 

Federal authorities released some of them because they lacked access to Venezuelan databases — but they also couldn’t return them because the Maduro regime stopped accepting deportation flights.

As for the first, well, yes, we have allowed large waves of illegal aliens — let's dispense with the "migrants" horse squeeze — to enter the country with little or no screening or vetting. And by "we," I mean "the Biden administration," who, on day one, chucked away any pretense of control over the border. And now our own citizens are suffering from a gang that operates more like a terrorist militia.

But wait! Does the Maduro regime say they won't accept deportation flights? Well, I have a couple of ideas. First, put these goblins on a commercial airliner bound for Caracas and make damn sure they are on it when it takes off; when it lands, well, the goblins are once more Maduro's problem.

If we can't make that work, how about this? Load each gang member onto a C-130. Fly the cargo hauler over Venezuela. Give each goblin a parachute, connect them to the static line, and give them a boot off the back ramp. One might point out that there is a Venezuelan Air Force with a small force of F-16As and Sukhoi SU-30s, but I'm pretty sure the United States of America can establish air superiority over Venezuela without firing a shot.

The present situation is intolerable. These goblins have no business in our country. They need to go — immediately, if not sooner. The families of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray, among others, demand it.
