A cheeky TikToker known as Leitooficial, aka Leonel Moreno, recently stirred up the internet with his wild suggestions for illegal migrants on how to snatch up Americans’ homes using squatters’ rights. This fella decided it was a swell idea to hop on his social media soapbox and proclaim that folks should just waltz on into empty homes in the good ol’ U.S. of A. What’s next, a tutorial on hotwiring cars with a smile? Sheesh!
TikToker Goes Viral For Telling Illegal Immigrants How To Use Squatters’ Rights To Steal Americans’ Homes https://t.co/NX102aFmGp

The audacious TikTok star proudly shared in Spanish (thank goodness for translations) that he’s all about seizing unoccupied houses under some antiquated squatters’ rights laws. Ah, the nerve! Moreno bragged about chatting with his pals from Africa who apparently had a hoot ‘n a holler claiming seven homes already. And get this – he insisted it’s all good because, hey, if a property’s run down, snatch it up, spruce it up, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a casa, free of charge! Talk about taking “finders keepers” to a whole new level.
Now, here’s the kicker – this TikTok trendsetter hopped on the squatter soapbox right after a homeowner in Queens got busted for trying to boot squatters from her own crib. The nerve of some folks, am I right? The poor homeowner, Adele Andaloro, found herself neck-deep in a mess after trying to reclaim her inheritance from her dearly departed parents. And wouldn’t ya know it, ol’ Leitooficial thinks he’s found the next big hustle by encouraging folks to pounce on abandoned properties like a kid in a candy store.
It’s a wild world out there, folks. The fact that some internet sensation thinks it’s all fun and games to promote squatting as a legitimate pastime is as baffling as it gets. And to top it off, New York City actually has rules in place that give squatters a leg to stand on if they manage to stake claim to a property for a mere 30 days. Madness, pure madness! Let’s hope common sense prevails over TikTok shenanigans before we all have to start posting guard dogs at our front doors.
