(LibertySociety.com) – Since President Biden took office, record numbers of illegal migrants have crossed the southern border into the United States. While Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas boasts about how many deportations the Biden administration has conducted, the number is nothing in comparison to the millions of people who have been allowed to remain in the country. Violent crime and retail theft have increased in many cities around the country that have welcomed the influx.
In February, 15-year-old Venezuelan illegal migrant Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, shot a Brazilian tourist in the leg after he was caught attempting to rob a sporting goods store in Times Square. He fled the scene but shot at a police officer several times in the middle of the crowded area.
Another Venezuelan illegal migrant named Leonel Moreno, who lives in Ohio, has garnered online attention after posting multiple videos on TikTok. Moreno has over 300,000 followers on the app, where he makes videos boasting about how he freeloads off of American taxpayers. Moreno recently encouraged his followers to send money to Rivas-Figueroa’s mother so that she could pay his fines. He claimed that the 15-year-old would be released from jail “because he’s underage.” He appeared frustrated that the United States was working against Rivas-Figueroa instead of assisting him.
Moreno has several other videos that provide an overview of how easy life has become for him and his family since coming to the United States. In one video, he claimed, “I don’t like to work because it gives me allergies.” He told his viewers that they are just as broke as him even though he chooses not to work or pay taxes. He also said that his reason for coming to the United States was to take a vacation. He appeared to talk down to other migrants who were paying taxes in the United States after leaving Venezuela, even though they did not have to pay taxes when they lived there. In another video with his baby daughter, Moreno bragged about how much money he gets because she was born a United States citizen.
