A TikTok video from a Venezuelan immigrant went mega-viral after he encouraged illegal aliens to find vacant homes and become squatters.
Leonel Moreno told his half a million followers on TikTok that they could use squatter's rights in order to take over homes in the United States. Moreno said that he knew Africans who had taken over seven homes by using the adverse possession laws.
"I have thought about invading a house in the United States," said the man in Spanish. "I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it."
He went on to claim that the law allowed people to seize homes that were in disrepair and dilapidated in order to fix them up and occupy them, which is a distortion and over-simplification of squatter's rights that vary widely from state to state.
Holy smokes. Tiktoker is advising illegals on how to take over Americans’ homes via progressive squatters’ rights laws. This tiktoker boasts that his friends already took over 7 homes. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/y03Cag77xA
