DoorDash and Uber Eats infiltrated by Venezuelan migrants who are illegally showing up at your door

Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are illegally working as food delivery drivers across America, DailyMail.com can reveal, showing up to your door under names and identities that don’t belong to them.

The troubling development is a consequence of the one million Venezuelan citizens who have flooded into the US, largely illegally, during President Joe Biden‘s time in office, with many entering through the US-Mexico border.

It raises huge concerns about the safety of the home delivery apps and the consumer’s ability to trust who is actually delivering food to their home and family – with customers’ personal information potentially placed in the hands of dangerous street gangs.

Venezuelans tell DailyMail.com they gravitated toward the jobs because they’re an easy way to make money when they first arrive in the US.

‘Before I even left Venezuela to come here, I knew I could rent an account that wasn’t mine to work in food delivery,’ one South American migrant who works as a DoorDash driver in Dallas, Texas, explained.

While he is authorized to work and be in the US, he didn’t want to be associated with crime and asked that his name be withheld.

‘As soon as you arrive to the US, the first thing you do is look for a way to make money, and for many of us, that’s food delivery,’ he added.

But many brazenly rent or sell their food delivery app accounts on Facebook.

The Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) area is now home to at least 20,000 Venezuelans, most of whom have arrived since 2021.

New arrivals know it’s as easy as joining Facebook groups for Venezuelans in DFW to start earning cash as a food delivery driver – albeit for a fee.

On a daily basis, migrants seeking to rent out their delivery app accounts make their pitch on the social network.

‘Who’s renting a DoorDash account?’ posted one woman to the ‘Venezuelan Friends in Dallas, Tx’ group on Facebook.

In some cases, migrants are in the US legally and have permits to work. In others, they do not yet have a work permit – a process that can take a few weeks or months- even with legal entry.

And other Venezuelans are here illegally and working illegally.
