Migrant TikToker Who Taught Illegals to Squat in U.S. Homes Is Unlikely to Be Deported. Here’s Why…

A Venezuelan illegal migrant who went viral on TikTok after he called on other illegals to take over and squat in the homes of Americans has been ordered to leave the United States by a judge. Still, it is unlikely his deportation will be enforced due to Venezuela halting flights from the U.S. amid ongoing diplomatic tensions.

Leonel Moreno, 27, was initially arrested in March after failing to attend mandatory check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Homeland Security sources report that Moreno arrived in the United States illegally via Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 23, 2022.

The current diplomatic impasse stems from economic sanctions against President Nicolás Maduro’s government. These sanctions prompted Venezuela to stop accepting deportation flights from the U.S. and Mexico.

Moreno gained notoriety on social media for his videos flaunting cash and advocating for squatting in U.S. homes. He frequently posted content featuring his infant daughter, who has U.S. citizenship, and boasted about receiving government assistance. In one post, Moreno claimed his daughter’s hospital birth was funded by the U.S. government, referencing “Papa Biden.”

Moreno claimed to be a low-ranking Venezuelan navy serviceman during his court hearing, although there are allegations linking him to Venezuelan military intelligence.

Members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua have been engaging in similar tactics to those of Moreno advocates, only they have been taking over apartment buildings while residents are still living in them.

Officials in Aurora, Colorado, announced last week that ten members of the gang had been arrested after viral video footage showed armed members of the gang taking over an apartment complex and allegedly extorting residents for rent money.

This European Country Is Offering Migrants $34K to Leave.

Faced with increasing crime and economic pressures from its migrant crisis, Sweden plans to significantly increase financial incentives for migrants to leave the country. Beginning in 2026, Migration Minister Johan Forssell says Sweden will offer $34,000 to migrants willing to return to their nation of origin.

Presently, the Swedish government’s program offers $976 per adult and $488 per child, with a cap of $3,903 per family. This program saw minimal uptake in 2023, with just one participant. The proposed increase aims to make the offer more attractive, especially for the several hundred thousand migrants in Sweden who are unemployed or reliant on state benefits, according to Sweden Democrats (SD) spokesman Ludvig Aspling.

Over the past two years, the Swedish government has tightened its asylum and immigration policies. The Swedish government acknowledges a “paradigm shift” in migration policy and the need to address labor immigration fraud and the challenges of the “shadow society.”

The National Pulse reported in August that data released by the Swedish government suggests the country—with a population of 10.6 million—has recently achieved historically low levels of new asylum claims. Despite this, the Nordic nation has still received over 250,000 asylum seekers since mid-2023.

Recent migrants primarily originate from Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Iran, and Iraq. Many of these migrants are young men of military age and have played a large part in the country’s increasing rate of sexual assaults, robberies, and fraud.

VIDEO: Mexico Buses Migrants to U.S. Border to Take Advantage of Biden-Harris Open Border Scheme.

The Mexican government has begun transporting migrants to the U.S. border. The “Emerging Safe Mobility Corridor” scheme, initiated by Mexico last month, is designed to help migrants gain parole into the U.S. under the Biden-Harris government.

The Mexican National Institute of Migration shared a video on social media showing the first bus transporting migrants from Tapachula, near Guatemala, to Reynosa, close to the U.S. border. The migrants are scheduled to attend appointments made via the CBP One app.

Expanded under Biden-Harris, the CBP One app allows the government to process and parole up to 1,450 migrants per day at U.S. ports of entry. The app is also used to import up to 30,000 nationals a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Humanitarian parole is supposed to be limited in scope. Some conservative lawmakers and law officers believe Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are abusing them to facilitate mass migration. Statistics suggest that over 95 percent of migrants who schedule appointments through CBP One are granted entry.

A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General criticized the app’s vetting processes. Migrant flights were briefly paused due to endemic sponsor fraud but have since resumed.

Foreign-Born American Residents Reach Highest Level In Over a Century.

The number of foreign-born American residents is the highest it has been in the last century, as the Biden-Harris regime’s disastrous policies continue to allow illegals to flood the southern border. According to data from the American Community Survey, foreign-born residents now account for 14.3 percent of the total population of the United States as of 2023, the highest rate since 1910.

Last year, two-thirds of America’s population growth was down to migration. Migration accounts for three-quarters of the population growth over the previous ten years. The most significant portion of migrants come from Central and South America, with Latin Americans making up 51.2 percent of the migrant population in America in 2023.

The proportion of Hispanics overall in America also increased between 2022 and 2023, from 19.1 percent to 19.4 percent. The figures reveal the continued failure of the Biden-Harris regime to secure the U.S. border, which has seen as many as 12.5 million illegal crossings in a single fiscal year. The true number could be even higher, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) excludes the hundreds of thousands of migrants admitted through parole programs from Central and South America. These parole programs were briefly halted this year over allegations of corruption and fraud. Still, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has now resumed them, claiming it has boosted checks on potential fraud.

The Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) parole scheme has imported multiple criminals and suspected criminals, including a Haitian who came in as part of the program and was arrested for raping a 10-year-old boy last year.

Orban Defends ‘Hero’ Salvini, Who Faces Years in Prison for Stopping Illegal Immigrants.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is defending Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini as a hero. Salvini currently faces six years in prison over allegations of “kidnapping” migrants in relation to his efforts to deny them entry into Italy. “Europe’s bravest patriot punished for stopping migration. Those who defend Europe are constantly penalized. What is going on? [Matteo Salvini] is our hero!” Orban wrote on X on Monday, September 16.

Salvini, who served as Interior Minister under a prior government, is being prosecuted in Sicily for refusing to allow migrants to disembark from a ship in 2019 on the island of Lampedusa. Prosecutors are accusing Salvini of “kidnapping” because he refused to let a migrant taxi ship dock on the island for 19 days under his policy of closing Italy’s ports to migrant “taxi” ships operated by non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

“I would do it all again: defending borders from illegal immigrants is not a crime,” Salvini said over the weekend on social media.

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has also defended Salvini in the case, stating, “It is incredible that a minister of Italy risks six years in prison for doing his job defending the nation’s borders, as required by the mandate received from its citizens.”

In her first year in office, Meloni’s government saw levels of illegal arrivals that had not been seen in nearly a decade. However, in 2024, the number of illegal boat crossings to Italian territory finally slowed.

Meloni has also cracked down on migrant taxi NGOs, recently impounding the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) migrant taxi ship Geo Barents last month.

Ohio Gov: Springfield Bomb Threats All Hoaxes, Originated From Overseas.

Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) says all of the purported bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, have proven to be hoaxes and that these threats appear to have originated from overseas. Speaking to the press late on Monday, Gov. DeWine stated that 33 threats had been made in total, and none of them constituted any actual danger to the community. Additionally, the Ohio Republican said that these threats appear to have been perpetrated by foreign actors.

“There have been at least 33 separate bomb threats. Each one of which has been responded to, and each one of whom has been found as a hoax,” DeWine said. He added: “None of these had any validity at all… These threats have all been hoaxes, none of them have panned out. We have people, unfortunately, overseas who are taking these actions. Some of them are coming from one particular country.”

The revelations from the Ohio Governor suggest that media coverage over concerns about the large number of Haitian migrants, which has blamed the threats on supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, are entirely unfounded. Meanwhile, CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday bluntly accused Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), of stoking anger, which has resulted in his supporters calling in the bomb threats. That accusation now appears to be entirely without merit.

Springfield, Ohio, has been the center of brief media attention following accusations that Haitian migrants living in the small town have put undue strain on residents and have even illegally poached geese and ducks from local parks. Consequently, the ballooning Haitian population has also driven a local housing crisis. The National Pulse reported in July that the influx of Haitians has added 20,000 people to the town—which previously had a population of just under 60,000.

Low Paid Migrants Cost Taxpayers Nearly $200k by Retirement Age.

Low-paid migrants are costing taxpayers nearly $200,000 each by the time they reach retirement age in the United Kingdom, as they contribute far less than they receive in government services like healthcare. Losses reach over $650,000 each if they live to 80 years old, and well over $1 million if they live to 100.

The figures come from the United Kingdom’s Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). They state that “average” British-born workers create a net surplus for the state of just under $370,000 by the time they retire. While skilled migrants can provide a boost to the British economy, low-skilled migrant workers account for as much as 60 percent of the total migrant workforce in Britain, according to the watchdog Migration Watch UK.

Notably, the OBR reached these conclusions despite loading the statistics in migrants’ favor, by treating British-born residents’ childhood education and healthcare as a debt but assuming the migrant workers would not have any dependants, such as children, jobless spouses, or elderly relatives.

Low-skilled migration could present the United Kingdom with long-term economic problems if over half of the migrants earn less than the average salary. Debt could expand to 350 percent of GDP by 2074.

The country is also dealing with the costs associated with illegal boat migrant arrivals, which cost millions of dollars daily.

According to another report, released earlier this month, migrants who do not work at all are costing British taxpayers billions per year. Government Office for National Statistics (ONS) data estimates that jobless migrants cost $11.1 billion annually.

When social services, healthcare, transport, and other factors are considered, the amount could rise to over $26.6 billion annually.

Yet Another Western European Country Is Rejecting Mass Migration.

Yet another Western European country has announced a stricter migration policy, which will see one of the toughest asylum policies in this country’s history. The right-wing government in the Netherlands, which includes populist firebrand Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom (PVV), will be enacting measures some of the strictest measures in the European Union (EU).

Marjolein Faber, a PVV member who serves as the Dutch migration and asylum minister, says the Netherlands will legally declare an asylum crisis and take emergency measures, including forced deportations and restrictions on family reunification, a.k.a. chain migration. “I’m aiming for the strictest asylum policy ever,” Faber said.

The country is also seeking an opt-out from EU migration and asylum policies, with Prime Minister Dick Schoof warning, “We cannot continue to bear the large influx of migrants to our country.”

The move comes as Germany’s far-left government announces it will suspend its participation in the EU’s open borders Schengen agreement and resume border controls. This follows a series of terrorist attacks and attempted attacks, including a mass stabbing in Solingen at a diversity festival that left three people dead. The attack was carried out by a Syrian failed asylum seeker who was supposed to be deported last year.

This measure is just one proposed by the German leftist government amid the surge in popularity of the anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD), formerly allied closely with Geert Wilders and the PVV in the EU.

Another Muslim Rape Gang Convicted.

Seven Muslim grooming gang predators have been sentenced for child sex abuse offenses against two girls in Rotherham, England. Their crimes date back to the 2000s, with many such groomers only being prosecuted years or decades after the fact. This is a result of Britain’s woke police forces, prosecutors, and child protective services being reluctant to pursue the predominantly Muslim, Pakistani-heritage offenders and neglecting their mostly white, working-class victims due to fears they would be accused of racism for taking action.

Mohammed Amar, 42, received a 16-year sentence for two counts of indecent assault. Yasser Ajaib, 39, was sentenced to six years for one count of indecent assault. Mohammed Zameer Sadiq, 49, was given a 15-year term rape conviction and engaging in sexual intercourse with a girl under 13. Mohammed Siyab, 49, received a 25-year sentence for two counts of rape, one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and trafficking. Tahir Yasin, 38, was sentenced to 13 years for eight counts of rape. Ramin Bari, 37, received a nine-year sentence for four counts of rape. Abid Saddiq, 43, already convicted in 2019 for rape and indecent assault, faced additional charges, earning another 24-year term. All will likely be eligible for early release on license long before these terms are complete.

STATE FAILURE.

Described as a “persistent and cruel sexual offender,” Siyab waved to his family as he was led from the court.

One survivor delivered a powerful victim impact statement, recounting the horrific abuse she endured from the age of 11. She revealed that she was forced to engage in sexual acts, groomed at school, and plied with drugs and alcohol. By age 16, she had been raped by over 150 men.

Only a fraction of Britain’s Muslim groomers have faced justice, with a report earlier this year finding Greater Manchester Police, alone, has left at least 96 known suspects at large. Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, a vocal critic of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer—a former chief prosecutor—asked in August if Muslim grooming gangs are still operating in Britain on his X platform. Multiple victims responded that they are.

Small PA Town’s Historic Orphanage May Be Taken Over by 1,000 Migrants.

A Pennsylvania community is expressing significant concern over reports that up to 1,000 migrants may move into a former Civil War-era orphanage. Located in the town of Scotland, near the historic Gettysburg battlefield, an Indiana-based disaster response organization is eyeing the building, recently used as a summer camp, to “provide shelter for refugee families.”

In an August letter responding to the proposal, Greene Township zoning officer Daniel Bachman noted that the building’s most recent use falls within the R-1 or low-density residential code, which would not accommodate a higher-density shelter. The zoning denial, however, can be appealed.

USA Up Star describes itself as a “service-disabled veteran-owned business” established in 2009. It claims it provides disaster and warfighter support. In addition, the organization’s website says it provides a range of services, including the construction of “base camps.” Among the other structures and equipment they provide are “Shelters.”

Some state lawmakers representing the area are moving to block the efforts to turn the property into a shelter for migrants. State Senator Doug Mastriano notes the location’s proximity to the Letterkenny Army Depot, making it a national security-sensitive site.

Meanwhile, Representative John Joyce (R-GA) has drafted an amendment to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) appropriations bill to block federal funds from supporting unaccompanied minor migrant housing at privately owned facilities in the county.
