Groups from South America that have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border are committing thefts and casing neighborhoods—sometimes impersonating Uber Eats drivers—looking for homes to burglarize, according to Huntington Beach Police Capt. Oscar Garcia.

They are able to do so, he said, because of a visa waiver program where criminals can cross the border without a background check.
