Squatting trend at tipping point as migrants coach others how to exploit laws; experts warn, 'Damage is done'

Florida recently passed a law that eliminates squatter's rights..

Squatting laws have become a frequent target of exploitation by savvy criminals who fraudulently move into vacant homes across the nation. Experts warn that the problem could be compounded by the ongoing immigration crisis, with migrants catching wind of the laws and taking advantage of them.

"I have thought about invading a house in the United States," migrant Leonel Moreno said in Spanish in a TikTok video that went viral last month. "I found out that there is a law that says that if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it."

...

Squatter laws vary from state to state and even city to city. New York City has some of the most lenient laws toward squatters, allowing people to claim squatters' rights after living on a property just 30 days.

...

The Big Apple’s law has had monumental consequences for a handful of New Yorkers in the last few weeks alone, with one Queens homeowner put in handcuffs last month after trying to force squatters from her home, ... Another woman was killed by squatters last month in her mother's New York City apartment.

...

Republican New York state Sen. Mario Mattera .. pinned blame on Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams for not rescinding sanctuary city and state policies in their respective jurisdictions, saying the Democratic leaders have "enabled" migrants.

It has happened.

There is a very good reason you don’t hear about it.

Several reasons.

Just like in the movie “A Bugs Life”.
The Hornets realized their world was over when the overwelming number of Ants realized their shear power in simple overwelming numbers.

Brilliant.

Unless you’re in a loon state where the son reports you to child protective services for stealing his stuff.

...with migrants catching wind of the laws and taking advantage of them.

Well; if you're a MIGRANT that has come across the border ILLEGALLY, you'd best worry about a law that you broke and really needs to start being ENFORCED in this country.

We're not gonna care if you've paid CASH for your dwelling, you're leaving it behind!

...then homeowners need to start suing them!

'Squatters' had better hope this is the most hurtful thing that happens to them.

911: What is your problem?

 

Homeowner: There are robbers/burglars in my house that appear armed and are threatening me!

 

911: What is your address?

 

Homeowner:  9123 Castle Drive.  SEND help FAST!

 

911: Please try to stay calm.  Police have been dispatched to this location.

 

Homeowner:  Tell them to hurry!

 

911: They are.  Only 15 miles away from you right now.

 

Homeowner: ARRGH! there a LOT of them in my house!! 

 

911: Do you have a shotgun?

 

Homeowner:  Yes, I'm loading it right now.

 

911: Our President has indicated that if you rack off a couple of rounds into the air it will scare them away.

 

Homeowner:  And then I'd not have enough shells left to protect myself if they charge me!

 

911: Can you find a place to hide?

 

Homeowner:  I'm in a closet  NOW.

 

911: Please try to whisper and remain quiet.

 

Homeowner:  {I heard them outside the door!}

 

911: The police have informed me they are at the entrance to your subdivision and waiting on backup.

 

Homeowner:   {WHAT?}  Why did I ever give up my Glock and AR?????

[Elsie]

reverse squat THEM!

[Elsie]

Sorry, but ‘exploiting’ is NOT breaking.

We just need to USE the correct law to rid ourselves of these meddlesome pests.

Must be something in the water of Indiana...

GMTA!
