(America First Report)—Every now and then, I hear ideas or come across stories that I don’t want to put in writing. These usually surround information that I do not want out there because I don’t want to give anybody ideas. The article below is one of those cases; I didn’t want illegal aliens to figure out how they can further exploit one of the most ludicrous types of laws on the books in many major cities and leftist states.
With Fox News covering it and other outlets picking it up, it’s time to warn Americans about a huge potential problem: Illegal aliens hopping on the squatter bandwagon. Squatting has become such a problem in many Democrat-run (and some RINO-run) cities and states that homeowners are rushing to sell any rental properties that sit vacant. In areas with loose squatter laws, the asset of owning rental homes has become a major liability when squatters take “ownership” and live in these homes rent-free for weeks or even months. Sometimes, it can extend for years and cost the actual homeowner tens of thousands of dollars just to get their property back.
The illegal alien invasion will likely make the problem far worse, according to Flash Shelton in this article generated from corporate media reports…
Handyman-Turned-Squatter Hunter Outlines ‘Nightmare Scenario’ When Migrants Catch on to Housing Laws A handyman-turned-squatter hunter, Flash Shelton, is concerned that lenient tenants’ rights laws in various states could lead to a squatting crisis as more migrants enter the U.S. Squatters’ rights and tenants’ protections vary across the country, with some states allowing non-paying individuals to occupy a property for extended periods. This can make it difficult for homeowners to reclaim their properties through legal means.
Shelton warns that the influx of migrants crossing the southern border could exacerbate the squatting problem. He advocates for reforming laws to deter squatting and questions the long-term consequences of allowing the practice to continue.
Since 2021, nearly 7.3 million migrants have entered the U.S. illegally, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Many of these migrants have been transported to major cities, with New York City spending billions on housing and support. Mayor Eric Adams has expressed concern that the issue could “destroy” the city.
Shelton argues that the already limited resources for homeless Americans are being further depleted due to the influx of migrants seeking refuge. He questions what will stop these migrants from taking advantage of squatting loopholes if they realize they can live rent-free for months.
The California handyman first encountered the issue of squatting in 2019 when two women took over his mother’s home. He eventually managed to remove them using a legal loophole and now offers squatter removal services to others.
Shelton warns of a “nightmare scenario” if politicians do not take action to curb squatting and believes the situation may already be beyond repair.
Would this make the left acquiesce?
I doubt it. It is going to take WAY more.
The scum that pretend to be our “leaders” are too busy attacking law-abiding citizens like President Trump with bills of attainder.
Be sure the government will be informing them of it.
Squatting should be illegal, period. It is theft, plain and simple.
I’ll bet the illegals already know.
Exactly- Calling soccer moms and dads “Domestic Terrorists”-
imagine owning a second home, and having illegal invaders see it empty, break in, and refuse to leave- and courts tell the owner “There’s nothing we can do”, and knowing that if an owner tries to oust them, the owner will be arrested-
Our nation has gone freakin insane
The entire nation is one big squat thanks to Chomo Joe. These invaders will never be expelled.
I am sure NGOs are already telling them how to do it. Pity to any fool who takes the silver to host an illegal invader as a renter. I know rentiers who didn’t get a single penny for three years of kung flu. Then again, he will get what’s coming to him taking in an invader.
“You will own nothing and be happy.”
Just another tool to discourage ownership of property.
Watch “Pacific Heights”
Keaton was awesome.
Griffith was still cute.
Modine was . . well, just Modine.
Michael Keaton is probably the best actor of our time..................
Kick them out yourself.
If you don't know how to do that....too bad.
Time to stock up on popcorn. Joe Pedo has given America away to any foreigners who want it.
A lot of these squatters are armed.................
The best service is provided by a guy named Vito -- two broken legs and interlopers dumped on the sidewalk. No more squatter problem.
Me too.....
This could be a weapon in **our** arsenal. Print up handy legal guides to squatting in Blue states. . . then match it up with real estate listings in upscale deep-blue districts, even offer migrants a ride and basic toolkit. . . .
Do it deniably, but. . .
(evil grin)
Well....There’s That !
Thanks.
